Arrived in Bolton at the age of eleven, and studied at both Bolton college and the University of Bolton

Took up boxing cos she was getting bullied due to her accent. bit rich from the Bolton folk.

The Walk race is bollocks. 

Not only does it look ridiculous but how can they possibly monitor every step of every athlete for the entire course. And when did they bring it down from 50km to 20km ? Pansies.

Yep, worst event this 

Should be in the Paralympics really

Fucked up this is.

You're not singing anymore, in the hockey.

absolute barmy. 

how on earth did they even allow that to happen. 

It's a lot more nuanced than the reports and claims on X.

It's not like that swimmer still with a cock and balls squeezed into a swimsuit.

There's two boxers which what seems like raised testosterone, they aren't trans girls.

Also, a boxing commentator on the radio today sid her who won today isn't actually that hard a hitter.

If she actually was a trans girl then I would agree she should be competing.

In the gender/sex tests he came out as a male....

Sad for Murray, just thought they were getting into it but unfortunately not.

What I like about the scheduling of this is just as the stuff we've been seeing all week starts to get a bit samey, the track and field kicks off properly tomorrow 😃

Yes one test. I think more needed to be done before all this furore.

Could be dodgy chromosomes but it's wrong to call her a male imo.

It's either a bloke or should be treated as one.

Just dangerous, and the interview the beeb did with some boxing fella made that quite clear.

Arguing over semantics doesn't protect the women.

If you're born with a cock you shouldn't be fighting a person born with a minge, it's as simple as that 

Id love Simone Biles to crush me with her thighs 

BMX racing is fun 

Should have a chance of gold in the women's race tomorrow

That bmx lass was miles ahead in her heat, but a touch slower than the other heat leader. 

Going to be a great spectacle I reckon, but not going to be easy to retain the title.

Not much of interest in GB T&F tomorrow evening other than first outing for women's 80m and 100m.

Shame for Jake Wightman- what a time to get a hammy.

In the 60s we were pre-eminent in walks, but not nowadays. At least Wilkinson finished in 16th.

She wasn't born with a cock.

Correct, though he also wasn't born purely as a woman as detailed earlier. 

Hence common sense must prevail, and protecting women athletes.

I'm thinking more of the spectacle for the JCLs like me 😃

Saw the BMX racing earlier, that is wild stuff.

Unfortunately the IOC don't seem interested in protecting women athletes....

It's a disgrace that he's been banned from competing in the world championships but allowed to fight women in the Olympics....

Can’t seem to find a good explanation anywhere of the situation with the boxer. They’re obviously identifying as a woman now but have they confirmed whether they were born as a man or woman? Or is it unknown? 

Khelif almost certainly has a sexual development disorder similar to Swyer syndrome, if not Swyer syndrome itself, and therefore,  despite having female genitalia, has XY chromosomes and is to all intents and purposes biologically male 

But it's a different issue to the transgender issue and is more morally complex as a result

One thing that is certain, though, is that the eligibility standard the IOC imposes i.e. the sex of the person is considered to be the sex as stated on their passport, is politically ideological and ridiculously lax

Thanks very much. As you say, it feels a more difficult one to judge given  they were born a woman.

Yeah I'm confused I haven't seen much of the boxing, just assumed with the uproar he was born with a willy
