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.

    There is absolutely not one shred of evidence whatsoever that going through male puberty automatically makes you a superhuman athelete.

    Do you even attempt to argue in good faith?

      Yes and I’m corrrect. It’s your problem is you don’t even attempt to listen in good faith. That’s on you and your need to have bigoted outdated ideas. Not on me.
