Great article! Meanwhile in the US... trans woman disc golfer is going around to different states to sue for discrimination. (S)he doesn’t even live in MN! Says that it isn’t about the prizes (money) but the lawyer says it’s specifically about the prize money.
MN disc golf organization stops all tournaments for fear of liability. So now everyone is losing out. What a mess.
That US Rowing mixed boat exception was such a tell. The policy was proof positive that men run rowing for other men (whether they are trans or non-trans identifying). The British Rowing policy is great, especially for junior girls. I mean, when you have a baby and you need to assess his or her health, there is a male growth chart and a female growth chart. There’s a reason for this.
It seems surprising they have done this because I hear of prior being harassed by the police for saying only women are women. So glad to hear it, though. If only our press would start actually covering this.

Yes, I agree Matty Silver in Sydney
Sadly my country Australia is also full in the inclusion over fairness camp when it comes to most things including rowing
