“…Any athlete in the female category is female — they identify as female and are no longer male.'”
Extraordinary. Reply from @usrowing kindly shared. Re trans policy: 'you say…female athletes are expected to compete against male athletes. That is not true. Any athlete in the female category is female — they identify as female and are no longer male.'https://t.co/5b49CEFL5Bpic.twitter.com/9pLICv8jqd
Marjorie Roome is an extraordinary but real example of what happens to women's sport when men are allowed to compete in women's categories. Marjorie is a man who says he 'identifies' as a woman. He took up indoor rowing and has been allowed to compete in women's championships 1/4 pic.twitter.com/foZI32LWBU
So @usrowing decimates equal opportunities 4 females. Sex discrimination. In the name of inclusion & fairness. Males can compete competitively category of choice: women's men's mixed and open. Females lose the one category designed to exclude male advantage. Absolute travesty. 1/
