Sebastian Coe
Sebastian Coe
The subject title should be Amelia Strickler or Beth Dobbin but you have never heard of them.
Seb needs no introduction. The President of World Athletics has changed his mind. His eye on the IOC Presidency may or may not be coincidental to this change. Last summer, in relation to sport, Seb was unequivocal; "biology trumps identity and "fairness is non-negotiable". Not anymore. He now prefers to tinker with testosterone rules, whilst at the same time acknowledging what we all know, that changing testosterone levels does NOT eliminate male advantage. Fairness is for males only, not females.
Amelia and Beth have stuck their necks out to disagree with Seb. They have put their careers at risk, and at the very least guaranteed themselves some dogs abuse from male rights activists. Beth is a runner who is nowhere near the level that the great Seb Coe achieved, but she did fulfil her ambition to make the last GB Olympic team. This is Beth's controversial statement: "women deserve to compete exclusively against competitors who don't have any of the advantages that the female category exists to exclude."
Who are you with - Seb or Beth?

History also tells us that it is going to be a pertinent subject to football in the not too distant future given the increasing commercial opportunities in the higher reaches what is currently referred to as the women's game.

Re: Sebastian Coe
The women do have a point.
There was a trans MMA fighter who brutally beat her female opponent...it was grim.
Same with the trans swimmer dominating events, despite being a mediocre swimmer as a man.
Male to female trans athletes will have an unfair advantage in a number of events, it's clear as day and an issue that needs to be addressed.
You may as well just allow men and women to compete against each other if not.

Re: Sebastian Coe
It's a vastly different argument. Comparing mens and womens football isn't the same as debating whether it is fair that a trans athlete that is physiologically a man should be fairly allowed to compete with women.
The same people that have an issue with women in football are as likely to defend a womans right to fairly compete with her own sex.
Now a trans man competing in womens football? That would confuse so many people....

Re: Sebastian Coe
One of the points that underpins fairness in sport is that nobody should have an unfair advantage in sport
I learnt that in A Level Sports & PE.
Seb Coe was right with his 'fairness is non negotiable' but what has changed SINCE then? The answer is nothing, other than money in his back pocket.
...... at which point it is of course, negotiable

Re: Sebastian Coe
A person's biological sex is determined at the moment of fertilisation. Male only sports for biological born males. Female only sports from biological born females. If trans people want to compete, then they can do so in their 'assigned at birth' gender/category. Born male - you compete with males, etc. This way, nobody is discriminated against.

Re: Sebastian Coe
Unfortunately probably not.
The alternative (letting her compete) harms all female athletes, whereas a ban harms only those who are intersex.
Always take the option that does the least harm.

One problem with that is that the "open" category would likely be too small to be much fun for either participants or spectators.ŽižkovClaret wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 2:39 pmThere should probably be a 3rd category for sport, imo. Male, female and "Open"
The least worst proposal I have seen is that the "Male" category becomes "Open".
Preserving or restoring the Female category is crucial. Swimming and rugby have taken these steps but there is a long way to go in many sports.

I think fear or ambition are behind his change of stance.
There are positive signs that the tide is turning but on balance there is no doubt that favouring male rights over female rights gives you an easier life at this point. It can get very nasty if you are in the public eye. You need to tread very carefully supporting women's rights and there is good reason to be fearful. But you would think Coe has some guts.
Most likely it is ambition for the IOC Presidency. For a wealthy man like Coe, surely that is more about status, lifestyle, influence and so on rather than money. Better not to rock the boat, as male rights trump fairness in the corridors of power.
If you were being really, really generous you could say he is playing the long game. Maybe he thinks it is worth it to yield greater influence if he gets the IOC. But how many women and girls ambitions will be crashed and burned in the meantime?

A transgender team of 16-18 years would walk the league with ease.

It’s almost impossible for anyone with even a modicum of brain matter to reason otherwise, it’s entirely apolitical too.
If blokes that used to be called Bernard wanna dress as women, call themselves Cassandra ,take hormones and have their crown jewells removed , good for them , but you can’t compete against women , it’s ludicrous.

It is disingenuous to suggest that the GRR bill has no relevance to the treatment of the rapist. The SNP went to some lengths to block the amendment to the Bill that would have specifically prevented a male sex offender being placed in a women’s prison. Sturgeon insisted on preserving the right of the sex offender to be assessed on a case by case basis. It was against this backdrop that the rapist was initially allocated to the women’s prison. After 24 hours of overwhelming pressure Sturgeon caved.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 9:02 pmI haven't told anyone how to think but his comments about the case of the rapist and linking it to the Gender Recognition Reform Bill was factually incorrect.

The misinformation that has been spread about this bill with respect to it giving new/additional rights to Trans people to have access to women only spaces such as toilets, changing rooms and prisons is disgusting and as someone who professes to deeply care about these issues I would expect you to understand the bill and want it to be discussed honestly based of facts and not misinformation

Anyway, yes the amendment was to block rapists from obtaining a legal sex change, which would obviously prevent them going to a women’s prison (you are right that it was not directly about prisons but it’s clearly relevant).
To be clear, are you saying that the rapist Isla Bryson (think that’s the chosen name) is not a woman?
Or are you saying that no male sex offenders should be in women’s prisons (unlike Sturgeon until her reverse ferret today).

To be clear, are you saying that the rapist Isla Bryson (think that’s the chosen name) is not a woman?
Or are you saying that no male sex offenders should be in women’s prisons (unlike Sturgeon until her reverse ferret today).
The rights of Trans women to serve their sentence in a women's only prison is provisioned under the Equality Act 2010 and as part of that act in some circumstances someone claiming to be a trans women can be denied that right and that is what has happened in the case of Isla Bryson
The only thing I have involved myself in this thread and the only thing i have any intention of involving myself in is to challenge dangerous mis-information that mis-represent the Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
If you don't agree with me that the Gender Recognition Reform does not give trans women any new or additional rights around access to women only spaces beyond the rights they already have under the Equality Actthen feel free to provide your evidence and I'll happily discuss.
If you accept that I am correct about the bill then I hope you'll join me in agreement that false information should be challenged.
As for the other things you want to discuss then I'll leave you to it with others on here because my only concern was to challenge the dangerous mis-information I read with regards the Gender Recognition Reform Bill
