18 months later...Wonderful group of NZ sportspeople and Olympians: "More than 50 former Olympians, including gold medal winners Barbara Kendall and Joseph Sullivan, four-time Olympian Steven Ferguson and former Silver Fern Anna Stanley (nee Rowberry), signed the letter that challenges the Government to ban male advantage from women’s sports." https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/open-letter-from-olympians-demands-review-of-governments-transgender-guidelines-for-sports/643ERTLUBBGG3F73D2ITEX5BNM/

Thank you. Just as other countries were starting to realise they should follow biology not ideology Sport NZ takes the opposite direction.

Push back from all fronts is needed.

I have only one criticism of this article, and it's that when it comes to Rugby, including biological men in women's rugby won't just "result in more injuries", it will result in deaths.

Brilliant.

It's so bizarre. Why is everything about 'transpeople' to the detriment of all else? They are only human, no better, no worse. How is this equality? This is elevation. Hideous, jfc!

It's pushed by the pharmaceutical industry. Jennifer Bilek has done the work there. It has something to do with transhumanism and they've levied it on the back of pedophiles who are a little more common than we'd like them to be.

The types of men who will very happily insert themselves into women’s sport and changing rooms are PRECISELY the ones who should not be there. And what about those deluded women who want to be on the men’s teams? For surely there will be some of those too. Thanks for being the translator of this latest iteration of the crazy left running unchecked.

Yes! I am still in shock that lots of people on the left (like me) would engage in this attack on women's rights (not me). Those attacks typically comes from the right.

Yeah, I too would have categorised myself as a leftie, greenie even, but now I’m more of a free speech moderate. I’m concerned that it’s Winston Peters who’s saying what I want to hear. What’s happened to me ?!?

Same here. The left has been analysed, studied hard and then replicated with added gender, race & purple hair. It's not left as such but an attempt to impose a new religion which is obviously ready and waiting to go. But somewhat hopefully it looks like they're taking a few hits to their agenda.

What's happened to old allies more like!

Brilliant exposition and expose (as in "exposay"). Well done and thanks from a pissed off woman ☺️

Thanks Sheryl.

Brilliant take-down of Sport NZ's recent guidelines for pandering to feelings of blokes, rather than the biology of women. Of course, the word 'guidelines' is a joke, because we know that clubs who don't gospel-ise them will be punished in covert ways.

Thanks Katrina!

Yup, you got it. In plain language this says, "situation normal; men's wee feelings and egos must be protected at all costs, even at the expense of women's physical safety". It should have been subtitled: "How mediocre men can cheat their way to victory".

Beautifully put!
