I cannot fathom how this type of sexist bulldust has been allowed to continue in the 21st century. Men are applauded for having a physical or genetic edge. Yet this woman is being dragged through the mud.

How has this disgusting display of bastardry and demonising, by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) not been brought to a halt? This woman was born a woman. Treat her as the gifted athlete that she is.

But until then, and while she identifies as female, then she should compete with other females.

Has there ever been an outcry before about an extremely tall person having an unfair advantage in basketball? An extremely clever person having an unfair advantage in chess? An extremely dexterous person having an unfair advantage in ballet?

Labels! Let’s do away with them, then the fastest people compete against all other fast people regardless of their hair colour, gender identity, intersex status, height, socio-economic or any other discriminatory factor.
