They think trans women have an unfair advantage in… fishing?

Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.

The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.

    Trans women are women, they were just born with imperfect bodies.

    Next shall we ban small tits? Large labia? Bald girls?

        And there it is. You think you can determine by some metric what a woman is.

        True story, I can actually do the same for men. Bad news though, you’re not one. Sorry lady.

      No that would be silly. People can want to enjoy and play a sport with only their (cis) gender, especially when its a professional tournament. Making it sound like thats an issue is an issue.
