I see that British Cycling has decided to ban men from competing in the Women's category - could there be any more of a non-story?
Of course it's more complex than that, but really not that much! In reality no one is being banned at all, trans-women (i.e. biological Men who wish to identify as Women) are now invited to compete in an open category (with other men) - this seems eminently fair to me? Women who train and strain their whole junior lives to reach the elite level in their sport shouldn't have that achievement snatched away from them by average Men who decided to "transition" post-puberty and who still retain all the biological advantages that Men have over Women (i.e. brute strength, VO2max, muscle density etc.) , that would make no sense at all!
In Humans, biological sex is binary and immutable, anyone that can prove it's not should be ready to step forth with their peer-reviewed evidence and book their plane ticket to Stockholm, otherwise Women should have their spaces and sports protected ...
