Female Olympic swimmer sparks uproar over comments about transgender women athletes

Former Olympian Sharron Davies MBE has been accused of “fuelling hate” after saying that transgender women should not be allowed to compete in female sport.
The competitive swimmer, who won a swimming silver at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow and two Commonwealth golds, said that her comments were not transphobic and claimed she had spoken to many other female athletes who “feel the same way”.
“I have nothing against anyone who wishes 2be transgender [sic]”, Davies wrote on Twitter.
However I believe there is a fundamental difference between the binary sex u r born with & the gender u may identify as.
“To protect women’s sport those with a male sex advantage should not be able 2compete in women’s sport.”

She's right, but the freak mafia will crucify her. Sad.

Pointing out basic facts is now “fueling hate”.
This world has lost its shite. We’re supposed to pretend that the emperor has clothes when he’s clearly naked.

I can't wait until some guy misses the Olympics by a hair then 4 years later is the Michel Phelps of Women's swimming. Will be fricking hilarious to see people who advocate for mental illness trip over themselves trying to figure this one out.

I didn’t choose to not believe you, it’s just what my rational thinking brain has imposed upon me.

If male growth harmones are banned for regular females, then males should also be banned from womens sports.

Cis people really like to ridicul themwelves using 10 year old student level as arguments. I'm a trans lady, been only 3 months in estrogen and I have already lost a lot of muscle, even if I keep up training. Trans women doesn't have biological advantages, you cis nonsense.

As a former true believer (Proggy) that could see this shite coming from miles away, I am LOVING this.
