“At some point we will field a team solely of trans women for the first time in history. How good is that?”
As an – I think – Australian team has just won their by fielding five what we might call men in a women’s team. Which does seem to breach the purpose for which we have women’s sport in the first place…
If having a team entirely made of ‘trans women’ is such a good thing in and of itself, then have a league just for them. And let real women have their game back.
…otherwise you might just as well kiss womens’ sport goodbye.
Is there anything stopping a group of XX chromosome humans forming a league that is legally set up only for XX chromosome humans?
“At some point we will field a team solely of trans women for the first time in history. How good is that?”
Ah, I love a quiz! Is the answer “Not good at all”?

Australia, but who thinks our own captured judiciary won’t rule the exact same way?

No need. They can just play in any men’s league against other blokes. Of course they will probably lose every game by double digits as their defining characteristic is the belief that they are women, not that they are any good at football.
If they were to do this and accept a weekly thrashing (behave!) I would actually have some respect for them albeit not exactly reaching the “stunning and brave” threshold.
But as it is they’re just pathetic sickos trying to get their kicks on the pitch but much more pertinently in the changing room.
The idea of a complete team of these deluded blokes would never take off as there would be no actual women for them to intimidate by flashing their dicks in the showers.
BiW,
No surprise there. Don’t forget that, in Australia, they believe a baby kangaroo can tell a 14 year old boy about a natural disaster threatening his town, or a plane crash 5 miles away, with the wreckage hanging over a cliff. And they gave us ‘Neighbours’.
Penseivat,
In fairness so could Lassie.

The Thompson link is pure gold.
We have men pretending to be women objecting to two women pretending to be men pretending to be women – who then get found out (I’m referring to the two actual women pretending to be men pretending to be women) by clearly being far more attractive than actual men pretending to be women.
“ And they gave us ‘Neighbours’.”
The BBC gave us Eastenders. On the rare occasions the TV has landed on that program I’ve felt like slitting my wrists by the time I’d got to the channel zapper.

I’m afraid this is what you womens are going to have to do, along with becoming politically strident, if you want women only activities to continue. Refusal to take part if men are involved, to the point of rendering organised women’s events untenable, is the minimum requirement.
As a bloke who is uninterested in sports (let alone women’s sports) it’s going to take something to engage my attention on this issue. If women continue to disadvantage themselves by taking part in activities alongside men pretending to be women then I will assume they are content to do so.
BiW,
That Aussie judge, what a Cnut.
“The BBC gave us Eastenders. On the rare occasions the TV has landed on that program I’ve felt like slitting my wrists by the time I’d got to the channel zapper.”
A friend of mine has a theory that Eastenders is a sort of Government backed psy-op, designed to make people think better about their lives. You watch Eastenders, look at all the misery and think ‘At least my life isn’t that bad’.
Let us not give Ten Hag and the Glazers any cunning ideas.
Update.
On Sunday, Sutton United’s women’s team were due to play an away game against Ebbsfleet. But just a few hours before kick-off, Sutton called the match off, citing their inability to field enough players.
