Men do not belong in women’s sports, even if they ‘self identify’ as women. Biological sex is a scientific reality. Gender identity is a social construct.

There are only two genders, male/female, period. Males compete against males and females compete against females. If that changes, then eliminate female competitive sports.

Horrified that this has been allowed to go so far. Do biological women and girls have no value at all in New Zealand? What happened to fair play?

We are living in times where science is completely being ignored, facts have become unimportant, and 'feelings' are being legislated rather than reality. 'Gender' is a social construct whilst 'biological sex' is an immutable reality, and 'feeling' like the opposite sex is not an acceptable manner to view any participation in competitive sport.
New Zealand must look upon this as a social contagion that has been spread to fatten the pockets of a very powerful few and destroy women's sport for that profiteering effort. Don't fall for trying to prove you're 'progressive' in the eyes of the Western world view. This would be a most REGRESSIVE decision if you went forward with allowing males in women's sports.

Competition will become meaningless if people who are born male can compete against females. Can’t those in charge see how utterly demoralising this will be to women and girls?

I thought we'd all agreed that gender and sex are not the same thing. It doesn't matter which gender these adult human males "identify as', it doesn't change the fact that they are adult human males.
Keep female sports for female humans, not males. #SexNotGender

I can't believe the world has come to a place where this even has to be discussed. Men who complete against women are cheating.

Sports must be categorised by sex not gender. Not to do this is unfair and unequal and will lead to the demise of women's sports.
