Second-highest goalkicker in the competition this year, Skids (I'll leave to one side the irony of suggesting that she's not good enough when the main argument against her participation all along has been that she'd be too good).

Interesting read. I disagree with her, being recognised legally as a woman for societal purposes is different to competing in sport. Growing up male she would have developed higher levels of muscle mass than same age women. Just reducing testosterone levels (which she doesn't agree with that being monitored) doesn't reduce the physical advantage.thesoretoothsayer wrote:It's over at Uncle Rupert's:stui magpie wrote:^

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
