The current male/ female was working ok untill we had an influx

women and usally dominating the esults?!
Keep things seperate, men/women/paraplegic ,which would
include the trans athletes!
Keep it simple!

I don't imagine many ladies changing to blokes fancy competing...... it's all blokes morphing into ladies.

Re: Trans in sport??
In one word NOand that is based on two examples. One was a male weightlifter who was not very good. He trans to a woman, took part in female weightlifting events and was not only winning everything but breaking many of the long stand female weightlifting records.
Second one is an American wrestler (not the WWE type wrestler), trans to a woman and won everything in the female weight category. I believe has still gone unbeaten.
Of course we have the SA 800m athlete who though not trans, is biologically a female but her body produces a very high level of testosterone which means her body physique and strength is on par with male athletes, won everything and broke records until she was forced to take testosterone blockers.
Which is why in my opinion, trans women should not be allowed to compete in female sports because they know they have an advantage.
