Amazing! It’s almost like the World Athletics organization has a firm grasp of the obvious! I’m honestly so grateful that they are making their stand here. It’s grotesquely disingenuous for TRA’s to whine and moan that bio men should be allowed to barge into the women’s sport. They make bad faith arguments about how trans identified men somehow lose all the benefits of their manhood by injecting themselves with estrogen. But they can never adequately explain why it’s the trans identified men who seem to dominate in women’s sport yet trans identified women never seem to do anything but get obliterated by actual men in men’s sport. Because admitting what we all already know is anathema to them.

Life isn’t fair, we aren’t all equal, and just because you want something, doesn’t mean you get to ignore everyone else’s needs. Sorry, but if you went through male puberty, you just don’t get to barge into women’s spaces because you insist you “feeeeel” like a woman. Your feelings should not trump women’s right to be safe, nor should it trump their right to play in sports where fair play and good sportsmanship are honored and not ignored. If you suffer from dysphoria, I feel for you. I honestly do. That must be awful! I will actually show my respect by honoring your feminine or masculine preferred pronouns out of the goodness of my heart. But I won’t abide placing your wants before actual biological women’s needs. Because the needs of the many outweigh your solitary desires.
