You are the one claiming she's not a real woman. It's up to you to define it.

They already have an answer, you just don't like it.

I've not claimed anything about any individual.

I'm saying that a male/female checkbox on a passport is an inadequate test for a top level sporting event. The Olympic Committee need a better answer to avoid similar discussions in the future.

Fine. What is the test they should use? You don't like their criteria, so what should the criteria be?

The test should be repeatable, definitive and standardised.

It should also satisfy the majority of members of that governing body.

This is the final time I will ask you, because you are now setting off my troll alarm: What should the criteria be? You have a lot of very strong opinions unless anyone challenges them, and then you try to weasel out of it.

You are also very much skirting the trans bigotry line and I'm going to keep letting you do that if you wish to remain here.

Not for me to decide the criteria.

There must be a line somewhere, and that line needs to be much more consistent, clearer and well defined than a field on a passport.

Why does there need to be a test?
