"It's Just Misogynistic" | Sharron Davies On Men In Women's Sports | Mark Saggers

In a recent discussion featuring former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies, the debate on transgender athletes in sports was brought to the forefront. With a focus on the impact of transgender inclusion on women's sports, the need for fair competition and the potential risks involved in allowing biological males to compete against females was highlighted.
The discussion delved into the current state of sports governance, with Sharron Davies pointing out the progress made by certain sports bodies in recognizing the inherent physical advantages that males have over females in sports. Despite numerous studies and scientific evidence showing the differences in performance between males and females, there are still challenges in ensuring fair play for women in sports.
One of the key issues raised was the impact of transgender inclusion on participation rates among young girls and women in sports. Testimonies from various sports highlighted instances where parents were hesitant to allow their daughters to compete against biological males, leading to a decrease in female participation. Additionally, cases of girls losing their positions on teams to transgender athletes raised concerns about the fairness of competition.

Spot on Sharon very well put....I cant tell you how much the vast majority of population is with you....

[@bobc5678]

Stay strong and keep fighting Sharron, it's cheating and should be stopped.

[@sweetpickle6825]

Well said Sharon as always! We all know it's not fair for men to compete in the same category as women. My question is as a sportsperson, surely your aim is to win and to win fair and square. I would imagine "winning" for trans people must be a very hollow victory indeed.

[@lynnm6413]

As the men who enter into women‘s sports have Autogynephilia, and not gender dysphoria….calling them trans is a misnomer. Unfortunately, the paraphilia these men have makes them enjoy putting down women, making them uncomfortable to assert their dominance because they cannot handle their deadly jealousy

[@dianecameron137]

why its better than the ones that dope themselves to win and that includes women

[@dianecameron137]

cheats that dope are everywhere in sport

[@sweetpickle6825]

​@@dianecameron137 yes, for sure, doping etc is weeded out as much as possible to allow for fair play, however no-one pats a drugs cheat on the back and says how brave they are like they do with trans sports cheats.

[@dianecameron137]

trans people dont want you to pat their back how patronising are you they want their rights like women are always wanting I am a women but even I am sick of the way all trans are bashed @@sweetpickle6825

A plummer just came to my home, he said hes 6ft 5. Huge! I am 5 ft 1. I could never ever of won against him, not just in sports but anything. A fabulous plummer and did a great job. Ripped my toilet out with his bare hands and put a new toilet in. Thanks Anthony!

Trans men appear more aggressive against women, it's almost a disrespect of women

[@manchegocheese997]

They hate women because they can't be women.

[@TEGSLOT-RACING]

Womens Sports its in the TITLE no more needs to be said. setup a TRANS LEAGUE for Trans as Trans is a man made construct

My husband dressed up for Halloween years ago 6ft2, short skirt, fishnets, wig and his hairy chest hanging out his lowcut top. We were all in hysterics he'd no urge to do it on a Tuesday but now youd be expected not to laugh 😉

[@pinchebruha405]

Misogyny, Absolutely!

[@Speckledhen09]

So glad that Sharon is speaking up. I just cant imagine some of these senarios playing out in impact sports here in the UK. How many injured women do we need to have until they say enough is enough, because there have been horrific injuries in America already?

[@kevin982]

Yes, it is cheating

[@garymitchell5899]

Sharron gives him the performance advantage then he reads out other figures, as though she hadn't said anything.

[@dianewhite4485]

Sharron absolutely spot on, as usual.

[@63mckenzie]

So, I'm guessing a 50 year old versus 13 year old kids is wrong too?

[@ThePhobos100]

Someone with a brain, unlike the woke crazy's, who don't go with logic.

[@MichaelElias-q2z]

My educated guess is that the political leadership and sporting authorities will, more or less, protect elite women's sports from trangender ideology but it will be open season on the rest of women's competition. Much of this driven by the significant corporate and commercial interests involved in elite women's sports. Money, as always, will rule.

[@prideofdurham4776]

What about women in men's sports? I am fed up with female commentators on male football , rugby and cricket , they have their own leagues .

[@dianecameron137]

exactly as a woman I can say I am fed up with women banging on about how hard done by we are we are not she does not like the fact that others have a right to fight for their rights just as women did men need their space from women just as women from men the trans bashing is a disgrace in 2024 they have the right to live their life as who they are and given the same chances as the rest if women want to take over in male sport then why stop trans women are always banging on they can do the same as men so whats the difference

[@Oceanfoxy]

Sux doesn’t it. keep sport sex based.

[@lesleymooney305]

Same here…tokenism….nothing more

[@dianecameron137]

why why is there a problem that trans want rights @@Oceanfoxy

[@dianecameron137]

yep my comment was deleted but you are right I am also fed up with whinging women in sport that think others dont have rights same should apply they should just comment on female sport if thats the case or not be given ref jobs in a male football game

[@wonderworld5606]

It’s just another way to silence women’s voices.

[@dianecameron137]

loads comments being deleted maybe your not allowed to disagree with what she says

[@dianewhite4485]

I’m sure I heard Dr Robert Winston say on a recent tv programme that embryology studies have revealed that male and female embryos start to develop differently on day TWO of conception. If anyone can confirm or point me in the direction of where I can find out more on this, please reply with the details. Thanks
