Should trans athletes compete in female categories? – BBC Newsnight
As cycling’s world governing body continues to mull eligibility of British rider Emily Bridges in women’s events, we explore the transgender issue confronting sport. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Transgender women should compete in an “open category” in order to “protect women’s sport”, two current elite female runners tell the BBC.
The British athletes, one of whom is an Olympian, believe athletes should only be allowed to compete in the category of their biological sex.
As governing bodies struggle to find a way forward, trans athletes have faced criticism for competing at high levels in sport – even though they’ve met competition standards set by the discipline.
Is there an unfair advantage? Should transgender women be banned from competing in female categories? Should there be a separate category established? Or should sport be more inclusive?
BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan has been investigating the issue following several high profile recent cases that led to controversy and division.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Stop using false language against observable studied truth!
We know these adult males/men aren't adult females/women and they will never be!
I will not call any males: females: girls/women: she, her, etc…
This is how civilizations are destroyed by allowing society to pick their own poison and let them do and say whatever nonsense they make up!
What will hit next is the age, race, height, place of birth, accents, job titles, false education any and everything until what little rights you had are gone because you will no longer have observable realistic classifications and in return, The System will have its own set of rules for the new classifications!
Imagine if and when other civilizations are informed of this insanity they will have the hardest time trying to understand that your demise happened because you were given free rein to live in the land of make-believe and you actually thought it be rent-free!

If they want to have segregation in sports, those folks that believe they are woman , why those trans don’t compete with real men? why they like to compete only with women? Lets finish with this and let this trans woman compete with man , women always wanted to be treated equal like man in all sports , so there go trans woman lets compete with man not with your sisters

December 30, 2023 at 10:31 pm
an msn with an inferiority complex, that wants to dominate women, is the only reason they would even insist on competing . some twisted hatred for women shrouded as an inequality to them. could they be any more hypocritical ?

The Olympic committee has singlehandedly destroyed women's sports.
We as women are being called bigots, antitrans, when. THE MEN IN DRESSES actually HATE women. They want to wipe up out. They are the bigots and women haters.
The LGBTQ just want women gone.

Sorry but, 🙅♀️ transgenders should have their own qualifying games .
They should not be able to compete against biological male or female period!!!

Put together a FTM v male team. Then put together a trans team Against a female team.

If its a female trying to be a man they should either be considered a male athlete or considered a female on PED's. In which case they cant be in natural female categories

why don't they draw a line on chromosomes? it's the easiest, and excludes the very small group of people born with a genetic defect or testosterone insensitivity

Trans people deserve their own teams and leagues. Trans should be banned from girls sports. Let trans teams play against boys teams. What? That would not be fair! If they were either afraid to compete with boys or not athletic enough to do so, why would a team of trans want to lose to real boys all the time?
@jhacksb1399
December 30, 2023 at 10:31 pm
Are there any 6’ 5” black trans competing on high school girls basketball teams? Just imagine! His team would dominate. He’d be comparable to Shaquille O’Neal. Wow! There should be no segregation whether he’s a trans girl or a black trans girls. Come on man, Woke up.

Translated…"Should men be allowed to compete against women?" See how easy it is to make sense of an imbecilic question? Parents of female athletes and self-respecting women in general must deal with this insanity in a definitive way. When these sissy-boys start winning by default because the women won't race against them, it will become the new norm and the perverts will lose the spotlight. When they lose the spotlight, they will either put their big-boy jeans back on or they will seek the professional help they need.

We live in clowns world. The answer is simple, no men in women's sport.

No reason on earth to subject women and girls to this. These men are cheats.
These men have many biological differences to women, and there's no way around it.
They can compete with other men, and/or organize to play in a trans category.
Will "Lia" Thomas has a well-documented pattern of denigrating, mocking, and abusing women, both in the locker rooms as well on his social media account. Many others do the same. Men don't belong in women's prisons, either.

Fact: Anyone who agrees that it's okay for transwomen to compete against biological women is a misogynist.
