.Paralympic Games promises athletes fair play w/o doping or class manipulation. Para Athletics allows males who are โlegallyโ F to compete in the F comps. Simply selfID in many countries. Hope media holds Andrew Parsons feet to the ๐ฅ& he looks as foolish as Bach - travesty of sport.
This 50! y/o man had hoped to run the last Paralympic Games. Para Athletics expected this & could have followed the science of updated World Athletics policy to ensure fair sport for their F athletes Classification for para athletes is serious businessโฆunless its for F sex class ๐
Credit to both for having this public discourse. As boring as it is having to be making the same factual points over+over still needs to be done here ๐จ๐ฆ.๐Linda Blade Perhaps nxt Jeremy Luke/CCES & Allison Sandmeyer/Canadian Women & Sport | Femmes et sport au Canada would agree to such a public conversation?
But Petrillo remained defiant, declaring: โThere is so much transphobia in all this. The most important word in Olympic and Paralympic sports is inclusionโ Wonder if Petrillo would accuse these TW๐of transphobia too? Paralympic Games & Petrillo are violating the โspirit of sportโ
โBut Skinner has faced push-back along the way, and believes it has to do with the public opinion of trans women competing in sportโ. Skinner agrees with UCI policy then argues its fair for him due to lowered T levels. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ Science is the issue, not โpublic opinionโ.
.Paralympic Games allowed a male athlete known unfair advantage in the womens events then DQed a medal winning female athlete whos selfless actions clearly provided her no unfair advantage (video in link). Athletes deserve just sport, neither situation is this.thesun.co.uk/sport/30323036โฆ
A ๐จ๐ฆ38y/o F Paralympian (2016) hoped to become the first out trans Paralympian. Murby doped w testosterone for 3y yet at best has thrown 58% as far as the mens F11 discus record holder. Andrew Parsons, thereโs โbreaking barriersโโฆ& defying logic, science and the spirit of sport.
I hope that all National & Intโl sporting bodies read this report. Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls has also done a great service in clearly articulating what is now a well reasoned, well supported (by F athletes & advocates), evidence based consensus regarding the female sex based sporting category.
Mocking female athletes & (fair) sport. Does Petrillo/author even know Para Athletics rules? A male from a self ID country eg ๐จ๐ฆ can simply get a passport with a F to compete in F Para athletics. Also anyone insinuating that T lowering in males levels the playing field is a ๐คฅ.
Incredible such a letter needs to be written & presented to govt, arguing female athletes deserve basic fairness & safety in sport. Great work by Save Womenโs Sports Australasia - impressive list of sports men/women standing up for the integrity of sportโฆ as they should.savewomenssport.com/post/sporting-โฆ
