I'd bet you a substantial amount that we will sign a lot of players.

I didn't say that I wanted Sargent, simply that I'd be happy if we did decide to go for him. I think he's a decent striker who has some attributes such as strength and power that we lack in our squad and I'd say we definitely need a bit of a refresh in the squad to give us a winning mentality. I'd probably get rid of Onuachu and the crock from Sunderland and he can be their replacement. Then we can keep Armstrong and possibly Archer and have a stronger squad overall.

OK well that's a different conversation. I'm not sure I agree with you though, he's at least comparable to Adams who we haven't replaced. I'd get as many top championship players as we can afford and then if we get promotion get ruthless and bin the majority or at least relegate then to squad players. We probably need a couple of strikers next year and I'd be happy for Sargent to be one of them.

Are you expecting us to sign premier league players on the championship? Our problem last year was not who we recruited, it was that when we went up we didn't bin three quarters of the team.

I'd be alright with keeping Stephens in the squad and then binning him once we get promotion. Quite a few of these players will be more than good enough for the championship just not good enough for the league above and that's fine.

He's the opposite of what we need in my opinion. Still is the kind of manager you want when you're mid table in the Championship and need some new ideas to give you a charge up the table.

He still doesn't understand!!! 😝

My desire to not have women deprived of sporting opportunities due to men is what shone through.

Oh thank Christ (literally!) if we don't get one from Prince Charles though can I worry that he's a secret satanist?

You've got no idea what my opinion on women's safety is because you have nothing to base it on other than your own bigotry and bias. As I recall you spent a significant amount of time trying to persuade me that a biological man is in fact a woman if they say they are so I can't imagine you're overly thrilled at this turn of events.

*Here is what I believe. *No you don't believe that, you believe this. *I'm telling you I don't believe that. *You say you don't believe that but when you say you don't I know what you really mean is that you do. *Seriously I've told you what I believe. *that's not convincing enough.

Ah yes the incredibly neutral and totally unbiased poster on a mongboard speaks! Couldn't possibly fathom that someone could have empathy and care about groups of people outside of themselves. You should try it some time.

I'm not sure what you'd be basing that on given that I've never given my opinion on female prisoners or prisoners generally beyond suggesting I could possibly support the death penalty for incidents like Southport.

Semenya has a deficiency that only affects males. He was likely born with an underdeveloped penis that can sometimes resemble a vagina but it cannpt biogically be one.

You're doing that thing again where I tell you what I believe and then you tell me what I actually believe based on the image you have of me in your head. If you won't accept what I'm telling you my views are then you'd be better off not engaging.

Those in prison are there to receive their punishment. I wouldn't have much sympathy if someone was victimised by someone claiming to be trans in a woman's prison but that isn't the same thing as saying I would want it to happen. Besides, most people in prison aren't there for the most serious offences.

Yes because Semenya is a biological male.

You're still either biologically male or female. Either congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) or androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS).

Sorry? A butch woman is still biologically a woman. A bird doesn't morph into a different sex if they don a pair of cargo pants and shave their head.

Was empty again last night too. Fully stocked and zero customers. Well dodgy.

Why are you pointing out things that no one ever argued with? I said it has an impact on me because I have females in my family whose lives will be positively impacted by this so it will have an impact on the society that I live in. All the more reason for me to be happy about this outcome if as you correctly point out I have cared about this issue for a long time. With respect I don't really give a fuck what you think you might infer from my posts. I'm confident and know exactly what I think without you trying to stick some hidden meaning into what I write. As a biological man if you want to put on a dress and call yourself a women's name then all power to you. You certainly shouldn't be treated badly or abused for that but the court has now ruled that you are still biologically male and you can't change sex with all the implications that has. That's a significant victory for women and one that in my opinion is worth celebrating since as you say its a deep unfairness that has caused real distress in many women for a long time. I'm not pretending I know what your motives are because you don't really care about it. I could say something like "I don't buy your act you're just saying you don't care because you are bigoted against women." You actually have no clue if my happiness at this ruling comes from a place of genuine concern for the rights of women including the ones in my life but I'm telling you that is the case.

Obviously men are impacted differently that's never been in dispute. If you were aware of this issue, you'd know that there are plenty of men involved in the movement because they deeply care about women's rights. Are all those men who have campaigned alongside women on this similarly bigoted for caring more about it than you do?

Since you have zero idea how the vast majority of posters on here spend their time outside of the forum, what issues they have previously been interested in nor how the personal lives of females in their lives would be affected by this, you would have no way of knowing if that is true or not. It would be akin to you expressing happiness if conditions improved for Palestinians and then being accused of having care/concern to cover for bigotry because you hate Jews.

The ambiguity prior to the clarification today has meant that some governing bodies have been reluctant to enforce a ban. This clear ruling today will mean that they will now have confidence to act and may be compelled to do so if they continue to fail to comply with the law as written.

According to reality they are biological women. Taking hormones and looking like a man in order to relieve their gender dysphoria doesn't make them a biological male. This is basic stuff that is also accurate in the law. In reality though anyone who looks like a man isn't really going to have an issue continuing to use the men's loos are they. This is mainly about preventing women from being forced to share single sex spaces with biological men.
