No more male boxers bashing up female boxers or competing in woman's sport, nor will they be allowed in female changing rooms.

Oh, really? OK then how about this - all boys to have a vasectomy on reaching puberty, to be reversed once they mature & want a family?  You'd have no objection to that being compulsory?
Since you clearly believe women should have no rights over their own bodies..

As I said last time CT did a posting flurry it's only our forum version to the kid who throws rocks on the roof and then runs away. He only does it elicit a reaction so as per forum protocol 'don't feed the troll'.

Based on previous behaviour the silver lining is that we won't be hearing from him again for a couple of weeks or more so not worth wasting effort in replying to his provocative comments.

although if you leave them there without challenge then it probably adds a certain amount of tacit legitimacy to the post - I feel they need to be challenged in some way.  Maybe a cut and paste generic response?

And his occasional forays do tend to liven things up slightly...

I think I would rather see moves to genuinely protect women - and children - from rape and sexual exploitation, the stuff that is happening every day in every country, instead of making sure fewer than a dozen athletes cannot compete in the sports they trained for.  Did you know one in four people have endured rape or sexual assault at some point in their lives CT? That means one in four of the people you know and love too. Ask them - if they trust you enough, they'll tell you.

Wouldn't fighting that be more productive than deciding who should be allowed to pee in which toilet?

And don't get me started on any government that seems to agree that womens bodies belong to males...
