This was an inevitability wasn't it? As soon as you allow transgender men to compete against proper women the only losers will be women. You only have to look at the size of him to know he's going to have an unfair advantage.
Women in sport should be upset by this. They train and train in order to become as good in their field as they possibly can, and then an ex-man comes along and wipes the floor with them. It's not fair.

Not only is it unfair, it’s utterly ridiculous. He might want to be a woman but he isn’t and he never will be. He’s a man with a problem. This stupidity is relegating real women to some sort of twilight realm.
To quote Jenny Roberts who had transgender surgery 20 years ago, “A lot of transgender women want to believe we are women but we’re not. We bring our male traits and habits with us”.

ah but it's not about resemblance. or bits of paper completed by someone at birth who makes a quick uninformed visual peek. or biology, right down to chromosome level. gender is all about state of mind, and authorities are increasingly recognising this in official capacities. at least the cyclist here hasn't got a beard; but they could have, and would still be eligible.
From the Tweet //I'm still forced to have an unhealthily low endogenous testosterone value//, so I guess she does take suppressing drugs.
It does seem very unfair. I wonder if secretly the competitors are as angry with her as track runners are about Caster Semenya, who through no fault of her own has male internal organs, but who otherwise is a woman.

I think this is an area where equality and diversity need to go a huge jump forward not male female events but entry categories based on height, weight or even things like muscle percentages. When I was young and fit I could easily beat most of the boys in my year at field strength events because I was bigger and stronger. I also know a female triathlons who is regularly only beaten by bigger stronger men or women, the only problems will come in aggression sports like boxing where testosterone does give advantages
Team events could suffer as well. There was the story a few months ago about the transgender Aussie Rules footballer who wanted to play against normal women. He was built like a brick outhouse and would have steamrollered the women.
If Billy Vunipola decided to transition and was allowed to play for the England women's team, they'd never lose again. All they'd have to do is give him the ball and off he'd go. 18 stone forwards struggle to contain him.
