Blow for transgenders as Boris Johnson announces biological men should not compete in women’s sports




The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come under fire for stating what just a few years ago would have been considered not only common sense but utterly redundant as there no sane person would suggest otherwise.

The explosion of outrage, pushed by the usual blue check mark leftist mob on Twitter, was provoked after the PM said that biological men should not be allowed compete in women’s sports.

Transgender women, born male, have been increasingly dominant in women’s sports in recent months and the recent victory of Lia Thomas, the first transgender woman to win at the NCAA Swimming Finals, is at the center of controversy.

Thomas, who ranked around 500th as a swimmer as a man just over a year ago set a new record in the 500-yard freestyle event, securing the fastest swim time in the nation for women when competing as a trans-female.

This trend is increasing across numerous female sports categories but women who speak out about the unfairness are being silenced in a barrage abuse and even threats.

Author JK Rowling is one the most prominent women to face backlash for calling for women’s spaces to be protected from intrusion by men, including trans “women” who are in reality biological men.
