Cricket has followed the science and has today announced a new policy. Misleading headline of course. Nobody is banned from international cricket, just expected to play in the appropriate category for their sex.

The headline doesn't say they have been banned from international cricket, but specifies international women's cricket.

And quite possibly do what was done to women's football a hundred years ago. Kill the game entirely for women.However they want to pitch it

Assuming that piece is correct, it's international cricket. Individual nations have been left to decide for themselves.However they want to pitch it

Again, if correct, a trans man could play in women's international cricket. Doesn't seem to have been fully thought through.

Maybe you've been eating the same skanky cheese as Andy? Whatever, it looks like an apology is due.

They will be, so they can't. And as @classic33 has pointed out, this is only an international ban, thankfully, so it's up to individual boards to decide their own participation criteria.

Why? The point is that of course all women are different, but the muscle/mass ratio in men is far higher and testosterone much higher which means more aggression. This transwoman clearly should not be playing women's football, and it's absurd to argue otherwise.

Lady: a polite or formal way of referring to a woman.
Didn't know that being polite had been cancelled. Sorry.

With Cricket only played in certain countries some of which are devoutly religious. I expect most national associations will quickly adopt the international position, that it's not safe for women have men play in any team.
Women are now finding that making a stance and refusing to play, makes news headlines that governing bodies don't like.
Then men are banished from the women's sports.
