'Ian Miles Cheong' should remember that people in glass houses might be advised not to throw stones.

I think in 10 years time people may look back on such rudimentary statements as "she has a vagina therefore she is a woman" as shameful actually.

The fact Caster was born with testicles and without a uterus is a touch more of a defining factor but I think it all boils down to the governing body growing a pair (ok poor choice of phrase) and introducing stricter controls regarding testosterone - both synthetic and natural.

Spot on.

Even now it looks like knuckle dragging.

Because sport is not relative is it?

You either win or you dont.

You either get a medal or you dont.

I dont get behind the kumbaya view of sport's participation. This is the olympics, it's not schools sports day.

I am not talking about participation trophies as I agree. I like competition and it is disappointing for a fan when you watch somebody you hope to win doesn't, but just being called an Olympian is something to cherish for some people. Are you saying they should not feel like they have achieved something.

There are qualification for all sports where everybody can participate but getting through that, to the Olympics, is special for some. I am not saying give them medals, I am talking about their personal feelings and expectations. To sit there and more or less call anybody below Gold a failure is a pretty miserable way of looking at it.

Yep. Fleetwoods a confidence player aswell. Backed him for a few years now in tournaments at huge prices. Not so much now as bookies started to get a bit stingy.

I think the opposite. In 10 years time, people will look back at this stupidity and laugh.

We know the linguistics, we know the science - it shouldn't be conflated or we get scenarios like we have with this boxer.

We are amending common sense in the name of inclusivity - when it's in fact the opposite.

Didn't realise they played four rounds. Seems a bit excessive that
