2. the existence of threats should not be used against those making the point in a reasonable manner. Harry Maguire received death threats, but I don’t blame pundits for merely analysing bad performances.
She needs to grow a pair….. Oh wait…
On the one hand, answering the suggestion that she could swing the tests by underperforming, she states that this is not in the nature of elite athletes.
Elite athletes always give it their all.
Yet, on answering the points about scientific research showing trans-women retain certain male advantages, she questions the research.

Surely. If you think that elite athletes are genuine and would not throw a test because they are professionals, you must accept the same for scientists.
Scientists only want to discover and prove what is factually correct and true.
To say one thing about professional athletes but not to give scientists the same professional respect is hypocritical in my opinion.
