The International Cricket Council has become the latest sports body to ban transgender players from the elite women’s game if they have gone through male puberty.

The ICC said it had taken the decision, following an extensive scientific review and nine-month consultation, to “protect the integrity of the international women’s game and the safety of players”.

It joins rugby union, swimming, cycling, athletics and rugby league, who have all gone down a similar path in recent years after citing concerns over fairness or safety.

It's like you ignored everything else I wrote, to hyperfocus on one sentence, in order to take offense at something I didn't say.

Mad we’re having a discussion at all that doesn’t revolve around telling him he’s right and we know nothing.

From my comment: "It's perfectly fine to talk about advantages remaining after HRT is started, and for how long they remain. But that isn't what is happening when people talk about transgender women as if they were cisgender men. That is completely ignoring the effects of HRT, making a proper discussion of the relevant facts impossible."

Please at least try reading.

I'm not the intended recipient but thanks for a considered response. Even if I can't fully agree, it was a much better approach
