  • I was abused by my ex-wife for years. The treatment I received from government agencies was more damaging than most of what I got from her.

    Certain organisations that are used to inform governments, from elected officials to social workers are based on the assumption that only men are ever abusive, that all men are abusive and the women can do no wrong. It started with the Duluth model and was followed in Australia by a study done by White Ribbon that specifically excluded straight men from participating. I know this is the case as I attempted to participate and that is exactly what I was told at the time.

    Our bureau of Statistics has clearly shown that at least ⅓ of victims are men.

  • The reason we have women's sports is because women are extremely rarely able to compete against men in most sports.

    When MTF trans person reaches adulthood they have already generally attained a physical advantage over cis women that no amount of hormones and surgery will diminish. Their current levels of testosterone will have no impact on bone structure and muscle development gained through puberty. This can be shown by the lack of female to male trans athletes.

    I am all for Trans rights, but becoming a professional or elite athlete is not a right, as much as I would love to become a racing driver.

    Perhaps a mixed gender/sex competition could work, but allowing people that have transitioned after puberty took hold is blatantly unfair. Obviously there are some sports, such as shooting, darts, snooker etc where this advantage isn't really applicable.

    Unfortunately in life compromises sometimes have to be made, and I believe that for males transitioning to female, not allowing them to compete as elite female athletes is a compromise that needs to be made for the greater good.
