Law already makes a distinction. Equalities law and the gender recognition act makes a distinction. The percentile of the population who identify as trans remain the sex of their birth, until they gain a gender recognition certificate. Those that do gain GRC by meeting a linear criteria over a period of two years, are a percentile of the percentile.

But is that from a male or a female p****?

Don't worry you can change your mind anytime if you fancy it... apparently.

I doubt even most trans people have any kind of ardent belief regarding this sports issue, because it clearly doesn't make a lot of sense. It's more like an attempt to cheat really, based on physicality. Much like those who take steroids to create are perpetually in denial, it doesn't surprise me that someone with a male physique at massive advantage could convince themselves that they're somehow not cheating based on duff science. You can't blame women one bit for trying to uphold the integrity of the sport, rather than turn it into some kind of tnaything goes. Sports bodies are making the right decisions.

Why should the feelings of a trans person be more important than those of a female athlete who's trained for years?
