Each week I get a belly laugh at your left-wing bias. I chuckle at the extreme green radicals who populate your pages. But David Heilpern’s drivel on trans sport made me see red.
David obviously has no idea what men competing against women will do.
Dave: go ahead and bash the crap out of the Murdoch press, but sport has absolutely nothing, zero, to gain from allowing trans participation. Women’s sport as we know it, and enjoy, will be destroyed by athletes with massive amounts of testosterone, much much more that the average girl, smashing those girls on the sports arena.
Dave, stick to chess or jacks, because you know bugger all about sport.
