Males typically have a 10% advantage - strength, speed, reach, whatever - over females at the same percentile of ability. The fastest male runners are 10% faster than the fastest females, etc.
Sports are segregated by sex because that lets women win in their own right. Letting males in is misogyny.

No, the ruling is absolutely crystal clear Tony. In UK law, woman means biological sex. While men like Chris can dress as they like, and call themselves “trans”, women’s rights do not apply to them. I suggest you read the ruling - it’s beautifully written.

Yeah, no. The Communist Party in the UK & Labour Women’s Declaration are very left leaning organisations who see how women’s rights & dignity are being eroded.

It did exactly that in 2010. TRA orgs misled people to believe that males could now claim women's rights in the UK. This has now been clarified by the Supreme Court. Men *never* had the right to encroach on female-only spaces.
