Female community sporting groups are raising concerns about the issue of transgender athletes playing in women’s’ competitions, saying officials need to begin addressing the issue and lay out clear guidelines.In Sydney, female volleyballers are concerned about playing against biological males who identify as women, on both safety and fairness grounds.Leading women in sport are calling for transgender players to compete in mixed competitions and not against women-only teams.Save Women’s Sport Australasia co-founder Katherine Deves said the Queensland case showed a “prioritisation of men and boys”, not inclusion.“Not only are we being asked to make sacrifices for men who self-declare a special identity, we are now being asked to sacrifice our own competitions to boys and men who simply want to play in our sports codes,” Ms Deves said.“The right of little girls, teenage girls and young women to play sport, to play safely and fairly, is simply collateral damage to those who promote policies favouring gender identity over sex.“The evidence unequivocally demonstrates men retain a significant performance advantage even if they have a ‘female gender identity’ and artificially reduce their testosterone levels.“It is simply not possible to accommodate inclusion, safety and fair competition principles equally. Women and girls are being asked to sacrifice their right to fair competition and safety in order for men and boys to be included.”

It is all over the western world that women sports are being invaded by males who say they are women. It is just ridiculous that women all over have to allow this to happen, including in girls sports. There is no better proof that we are living in a male-dominated culture that this insult to the women in sports is simply regarded as natural and evident. Competitive sports require strength and muscle mass, which male bodies have more than female bodies. That is the reason why women have their own sports competitions. If this is not recognised as being a scientific fact, then I would like males forced to give birth to the human species! Be my competitor, I birthed 4 in 5 years!
The ‘Daily Telegraph’ couldn’t even get the first word of its headline right. There is no such thing as ‘transgender’. It is an invention, a hoax fabricated to lull people living in a fool’s paradise into thinking that it means something which it doesn’t.
