Gender again. Sorry!

She was also aware that some women were using testosterone in those days. She was never bitter about it, just made the point that she felt she was a better person for not succumbing to the methods of cheating available to her.

There are still people cheating in top level sport. The latest stories I've seen involve athletes eating blood worms.

Cheating comes in all forms these days

Indeed, but all of the resulting moral panic is directed at trans people, even those trans people not even interested in sport.

That's a bit like saying, you'll never be the world's first trillionaire so there's no point going to work, and we are all better off thinking the same.

Only in the sense that it isn't like saying that at all.

There are 1,000s of people competing in triathlons, time-trials, road-races, etc., who do so despite knowing they have little or no chance of winning.

So why the need to muscle in on women's sport.

Compete in you own sex division, be happy and proud of your own achievements without trampling on women's sport.

The reason that you object to trans women in women's sport is that you consider them male, but not male enough to deserve the protection of the (your) patriarchy.

And? How is that relevant? This is a transwoman who wants to compete at the top level. But simultaneously is no threat to women. You can't have it both ways.

That's because they are male, will always be male.

They are the patriarchy. There's no better example of the patriarchy than men declaring themselves to be women and women being told to suck it up and lose out.

It's a response to your implied assertion that everyone is out to win (try reading back).

Why would Lia know all about the "testicle injury" chart? Is Lia a paid testicle inspector too? Do you inspect other men's testicles Andy?

He has said he's willing to stand outside the women's toilet's/changing area's with a thermal imaging device and camera to check.
