Imagine if I suddenly announced I was disabled and demanded to compete in the Paralympics?
For example, if I claimed to have no legs when people saw me walking into the stadium on them?
Or if I claimed to be blind despite TV viewers watching me spot family in the crowd and wave at them as I took my victory lap?
Preposterous, right?

I mean, everyone would rightly go bonkers, and I’d be cancelled faster than David Walliams was kicked off Britain’s Got Talent when people realised HIS only talent is for being a nasty piece of work.
The reason for the rage would be simple: I would self-evidently be falsely representing myself to gain an unfair advantage over competitors with actual disabilities.
Yet when it comes to men claiming to be women so they can compete against actual women in sport, there’s apparently no problem at all.
For years now, there has been a creeping and insidious assault on women’s rights to fairness and equality in sport, driven by an aggressive trans lobby that deploys vile bullying tactics to silence dissent.
And now we’re seeing this lead exactly where I’ve repeatedly warned it would lead – to complete and utter farce, and a genuinely existential threat to the integrity of women’s sport.
Worse, we’re also seeing an escalation in threats – verbal, physical and legal – to any sportswomen who dare object to this madness, or to anyone else who protests about it on their behalf.
I didn’t think anything would be more shameful or ridiculous than seeing two boxers born with male chromosomes win Gold medals in last month’s Olympics by beating up women so badly that one of them quit after less than a minute because she’d never been hit that hard.
Yet this week, we had to endure the shocking spectacle of trans-Paralympic sprinter Valentina Petrillo running alongside women in the 400m race despite being 51 years old and sporting a large penis-shaped bulge where ‘her’ vagina should be.
Petrillo, who won a dozen sprint titles as a man before transitioning in 2019 at age 45, said that competing in Paris is the fulfilment of a ‘dream since I was a little girl’. Hmmm.
What about the fact that by competing at the Paralympics, Petrillo has killed another actual woman’s dream of competing, one who unlike Petrillo really was a little girl?
As JK Rowling, who has vociferously defended women’s rights against numerous such outrages, said, Petrillo is an out-and-proud cheat.
The Harry Potter author added sarcastically: ‘What a role model! I say we give Lance Armstrong his medals back and move on.’
Of course, Rowling was instantly abused and threatened by pro-trans activists, but she’s right – it IS cheating.
And it’s being encouraged and supported by imbecilic virtue-signalling men who should, and do, know better like Adam Hills, host of Channel 4’s The Last Leg, who congratulated Perillo and said a biological man competing against women showed ‘how inclusive the Paralympic Games are.’
Not if you’re the woman who missed out on a place because of this travesty, they’re not.
Unsurprisingly, sportswomen have had enough of this nonsense and are beginning to rebel against it.
But those who do are being targeted with legal threats designed to silence them.
British female darts star Deta Hedman, who has twice withdrawn from competitions rather than be forced to play against trans players, has now been warned she will be disciplined.
Hilariously, the World Darts Federation says this is to ‘protect the integrity of the game’ – a statement which hits the bullseye of hypocrisy.
Last Sunday, a woman’s football match between Sutton United Women and Ebbsfleet was called off amid a furore over Sutton’s plan to field their new signing, 6ft biological male trans goalkeeper, Blair Hamilton.
It was reported that other Sutton players were angry Hamilton replaced their female goalkeeper.
Sutton’s manager Lucy Clark, who is also transgender, wrote on social media in 2022: ‘At some point, we will field a team solely of trans women for the first time in history. How good is that?’
Good? It would be terrible if that team competed in a women’s competition.
In fact, it would signify the end of women’s sport as we know it.
As former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies, who condemned Hamilton’s signing as ‘irresponsible and dangerous’, said on X: “If you’re prepared to play in a football team fielding males, you’re prepared to go along with cheating and an increased risk of injury to opponents.’ Exactly.
There’s a very simple way to resolve this crisis.
Every single sportswoman in the world should follow Deta Hedman’s lead and say they will no longer compete against trans athletes who were born biological males.
If they ALL do it, then the madness will stop stone dead, and we can move to a place that safeguards women’s rights but also allows sports authorities time and space to work out a fair and equal way for transgender people to play competitive sport.
In my view, that means they either compete against other biological males, as the vast majority did before they transitioned, or in a new trans category.
Anything else is cheating.
