Consistent with the old Tory trick of getting BAME MP’s to push the most extremist shit.

“How can we be racist when we…?” Yeah, yeah, save it…

The Politico briefing on the proposals is absolutely terrifying, eg "the Home Office would need to review the status of up to 1.4 million people between now and 2035."👇🏻

So much focus on sport looks at it and misses the fact most people do it for fitness and fun.
Spending a fortune on travel and time to have an opportunity to do a limited selection, well that sucks the fun out if it and locks people out. Rural folks might have the space, but lack the other aspects.

We run, hike, climb, do resistance training. But only solo. If we swim it is wild swimming.
There is bugger all that could even *approach* possibly being inclusive without a 2 hour drive to to an hour of sport, and nothing that appeals.
Local stuff is a lockout.
Barriers to fitness through sport 🤷‍♀️

Aye, done some reading and you are right.
TBH, we are not sure if competitive sport is redeemable.
There is damn all appeal to us, and we were what people would call athletic before old age, transition and covid. We did all sorts of sporting activities. Now, well unless it's solo, it's not worth it.

And dammit...
We have just seen the Paralympics is due to ban trans folks as well....

Really, really hard not to just say fuck all sport.

TBH we know little about it. So totally fair.
Thought they had categories based on ability, loosely grouping similar performances.
But that's just from Last Leg 🤷‍♀️
Need to do some looking clearly.
There must be some good models so we don't start from scratch... 🤔

Something along the lines of Paralympics maybe, and fuck any segregation based on gender.
We have been "beaten" at different types of sports by people of all ages and genders. Good on them, they were better than us and inspirational.
Segregation was often out in place to protect the male ego anyway

Damn well let us do all the types of sports.

But it is competition that drives categories. Which is why non white women and people with any genetic variation are being targeted. Once you start on the path, it is hard to find a place to stop discriminatory practice.

We need proper reform.
