First of all I am a scientist.
Semenya has faulty androgen receptors, which means she cannot naturally regulate her testosterone levels and is likely not getting any additional advantage from the elevated levels. What puzzles me is you are so focussed on one type of genetic abnormality but disregard the others that make elite athletes what they are. I've never argued that men don't have a physical advantage, nor have I argued for the scrapping of gender segregation in physical sports. My point is simply that if we start discriminating against people with highly favourable genetics we are doing all a disservice.
Maybe when Brighton said "nor have i argued for the scrapping of gender segregation in physical sports" he (i assume it is a he, but might not be) meant sex segregation.Do you support sex segregation in sport? Or is being Male just more “favourable genetics “ ?
more to the point. What have DSDs got to do with trans people?
We can go all around the houses here, but you know as well as I do simply saying “I’m a woman” doesn’t literally make you one.

What's a DSD? Not aware of that acronym. Thanks
What utter tosh! Good to see in the article the philosophy prof from Sussex say it is "nonsensical, anti-intellectual propaganda"!Anyone 'should be allowed to identify as black, regardless of their skin colour' | Metro News

I bet Eminem feels validated now. He's identified as black for over 20 years.

My bad. This is the lecturers not the students!
And apparently you can self ID as disabled as well!
Cant wait for my PIP payments to start. I wonder if they’ll let you identify as retired and claim your pension as well.
Should people be able to identify as any other colour other than that which they actually are ? Maybe, but what on earth is the point ? Attention seeking probably.Should people be able to identify as WHITE no matter what their skin colour??
I'm a spotted dolphin. I'm sick and tired of you bottle nosed attention seeking species siding up to humans for a "stroke" and seeing how far out of the water you can jump. Why can't you just be a normal dolphin like the rest of us? We don't care about your colour dolly, we are all one tribe.Should people be able to identify as any other colour other than that which they actually are ? Maybe, but what on earth is the point ?

I'm not really white. I'm a bottle nose dolphin, so I'm largely black.....or am I ?
Poor kid !
Join the club!He may not identify as a kid!
I'm struggling to understand it all to be honest. I'm a pretty PC, live and let live fella but all this transgender, non binary carry on has got me baffled.
