Yes, the radical feminists have been waging a war against men and boys for decades now, and they've managed to infiltrate Western governments and institutions, where they've been extraordinarily successful in getting laws changed in their favour, at great cost to men and boys. TRAs have adopted similar tactics in their war against women and girls in sport, but despite some spectacular early success, it remains within the power of sporting bodies to develop rules to exclude blatant cheats like Lia Thomas and Semenya Caster. It's already happening at the elite level and will inevitably flow down to lower leagues. However, we're dealing with biological anomalies here, whose entry into sport in numbers is a relatively recent phenomenon, so it will take time for codes to develop appropriate rules and fend off TRA legal challenges. Plus of course the rules must be science based, requiring studies to demonstrate and quantify the various performance advantages associated with elevated testosterone levels in women. Which opens another can of worms, namely lesbian dominance in women's sports. It has long since been shown that lesbians have significantly higher testosterone levels than straight women. No surprise there, but what performance advantage does that confer, and is it fair to straight women?
