What a good article Katherine. As an 82 year old one time amateur rugby player I find it frankly awful that the apparently unstoppable impetus and desire to prove that women can and should do everything a man can, extremely sad. Dear ladies your ability to conceive a human being is such an extraordinary gift to be treasured and nurtured, it should not under any circumstances be jeopardised for the sake of progressivism. And whilst we are on this subject why is it not a breach of human rights for a child to be denied a biological female mother and a biological male father? Frankly I am not at all sure I understand what 'human rights" we are taking and defending these days!!

The key words in this article for me are 'Speaking to BBC sport..'. insofar as I don't think this situation is something organic, it is being willed by the people who run our society. The profile of women's footy and rugby is being given wings by our leaders in order for them to then push these narratives on us all, under the guise of 'fairness'. The disconnect in my view is the leaders of our society do not have the interests of the people they are supposed to serve at heart. They are not incompetent parents, but malevolent ones.

Absolutely right. There would be little to no interest in women’s rugby or football if it was not manufactured by these ideologues

In Canada we have just had a medical Doctor fined $28,000.00 by our Orwellianly named Human Rights Council for refusing to give puberty blockers to a child. I point this out merely to show that England is not the only Country being run by ideologically fuelled children. Moreover, these temper tantrums, aside from helping to destroy the country are costing the victims and taxpayers a fortune.

Thank you Katherine-this makes perfect sense in a senseless world. Our poor children aren't being taught how to dissemble these culturally embedded nonsense conclusions/logical fallacies. It's shameful.

Sorry, am about to start cooking, so have no time for a polished comment, but very good article, Katherine.

Excellent article, Katherine!

We used to tell children: I want doesn't get!

I wonder when we stopped telling them that?

We've created this terrifying materialistic, hedonistic world of self-love and greed where the spoilt children will not only have a tantrum if you tell them 'No!' but happily mow you down with their ideological prams and go hurtling towards the abyss of aimlessness & confusion.

God have mercy on us all 🙏
