Take your “inclusion” and

The BBC reports:

Welsh ministers wrote to the Welsh Rugby Union expressing “concern” about its ban on transgender women competing in female-only games.

Concern about not allowing men to compete in women-only games. How did we get to such a stupid place and why can’t we get the hell out of it?

Their letter stated “inclusion” should be the “starting point” for decisions on transgender people’s participation in any part of society.

No it should not, because the issue is not “transgender people’s participation in any part of society,” it’s men’s intrusion on women. As always, calling it a “transgender” issue conceals the actual issue. Men aren’t shut out of women’s spaces and games and the rest because they’re “transgender” but because they’re men. Women sometimes need to get away from men, for our own safety or for fair competition or to have any hope of winning a prize. Women would almost never win Oscars for acting if there weren’t a separate category for women, because there are vastly more roles for men, and most of the roles for women get little dialogue and little to do. That’s just one example of many.

Introducing the ban in September 2022, the WRU said it was based on “current medical and scientific evidence”.

Evidence, that is, that competing against men in rugby is dangerous to women. Apparently the Welsh government doesn’t give a shit.

The Welsh government’s deputy sports minister, Dawn Bowden, and deputy minister for social partnership, Hannah Blythyn, wrote that their “preferred position was to follow a case-by-case approach, rather than a blanket exclusion of transgender people”.

Again. It’s not “transgender people”; it’s men.

Also how revolting to see two women in government putting women’s safety at risk for the sake of this stupid ideology.

The deputy sports minister also raised the issue at a meeting with WRU officials in January 2023, when according to the minutes she said the Welsh government was “disappointed in the difference in treatment between trans men and trans women”.

Excuse me, I have to go bang my head against the wall for a few hours.
