Biologically male trans athletes should not be able to compete against female athletes - it's blatantly unfair. If they are allowed, then there should be "handicaps" for e.g. testosterone levels to even out the field.

Recognising biological differences in sports is essential to fair play and is just as important as recognising the realities of talent. If I were to tell a student that they could sing - when they absolutely cannot - would I be seen as being 'discriminatory' or not? Telling lies about realities is a slippery and disingenuous slope. Just stop it. Women's sports is for women only. Men's sports is for men only. End of.

Biological males must not be allowed to dominate women's sport. It is massive step backwards in gender equality.

This issue is going to become very divisive so it needs to be clarified asap.

Biology needs to be a deciding factor instead of gender identity and will hopefully not be viewed as a discriminatory argument but as scientific, transparent and most of all fair!

Perhaps a new category needs to be introduced in sport maybe a category for Trans Women and Non Binary athletes.

I am inclusive but I don't think it's fair on biologically-born women! Categorising by sex is just basic common sense, and FAIR.

There must be a way to improve inclusiveness and safety for trans folk without removing womens safety and protections. Less than 1% of the population cannot be put ahead of 50%

Draw a line now before this becomes the normal. I feel for the women who have just about reached the pinnacle of their sport to be so unfairly overtaken.

This is blatantly unfair and PC gone way too far. How can’t the world Olympic body not see this, the science is clear - shame on you bowing to a minority group like this. The women contestants may just as well withdraw as they can’t possibly win against a male even one that has bits cut off.

Quit letting men compete in sport with women or put great apes in races with men- they have almost the same DNA too.

This is the most important issue facing sport today. The long term benefits males enjoy are not negated by lowering testosterone in later life.

Biology should determine the division you compete in, NOT FEELINGS!!

This is unscientific and unfair. No males or females taking male hormones in women’s sports!
