DOMINIC LAWSON: Why are women attacked by the trans lobby while we men get far less abuse?
Because, obviously, if women can have penises, then there is no reason why trans women in full possession of male genitalia shouldn't have access to female public loos or changing rooms. Or, indeed, women's wards in hospitals.
Although he didn't elaborate, what Boris Johnson meant was that to have been born biologically male, and having gone through male puberty, conferred an unfair advantage on trans women when competing against those who have women's bodies.His intervention followed on from the row over the exclusion of the transgender cyclist Emily Bridges from a female event in the UK, after the relevant sporting body first of all accepted Bridges' entry and then changed its collective mind.
Armed with the knowledge that peer-reviewed scientific papers demonstrate that, even after the testosterone reduction sporting bodies have demanded of trans women entering female competition, those born male have unique physical advantages, Nick Robinson put it to Ivy: 'You can't undo male puberty...do you accept that?'
Though Ivy was perfectly civil throughout the interview, the Canadian former cycling champion has not always been so, having once declared, via Twitter, that those who don't accept that women can have penises should 'die in a grease fire'.
On this, I disagree with Davies, at least in that the interview with her opponent was highly instructive, and valuable as part of the necessary debate on this issue.
