The ideal of sport
Replies to this are harsh.
States must uphold the ideal of sport that is inclusive of LGBTI+ persons.

Categories based on age, sex and disability exist in sport to ensure fairness.
Stop destroying women’s rights.
You are a corrupt man.

This what our ‘human rights’ expert is campaigning for everyone.
Unfair, unsafe sport for women
But I guess that’s OK because Victor doesn’t recognise women as full human beings pic.twitter.com/CijqaET3IT

It is not a ‘prejudice’ to recognise the male sex as stronger than the female. Failing to do so is anti-science and will only smother the societal visibility the female sex has earned.
Do these people even understand why women had to fight so hard for funding for amateur sports specifically for them, and then for opportunities in professional sports? It’s really not that long ago that schools began funding high school hockey for girls, college hockey for women, and now following the success of the WNBA, a professional hockey league is now forming for women? The National Women’s Soccer League is growing, and even still had to fight a scandal of male coaches harassing their athletes sexually. Women need their own sports so they can develop as athletes, to have opportunities, to achieve in competition and to entertain us with the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat…because very few women have been able to make it into men’s sports.
There are differences, Victor, and I don’t care to hear about the demands you make for LGBTIQA2SLMIASMA if it is women’s sports you diminish.
They don’t care. Know or not know, it makes no difference; they do. not. care.

Excellent choice to add on the end of the alphabet soup.
