I will never understand how this wasn’t the end for either of these deranged brats. Every milquetoast brownnoser who elevated or defended them hoping for a crumb from their unearned power should be ashamed. You knew. The evidence was right there. But you liked standing near the big boys.

Excluding males from female sport is absolutely the correct decision, & should have been done years ago. It’s unfortunate, however, that it’s been done by a facist in the name of culture war. I fear that the issue now will be framed within that, rather than a discussion of biological fact.
