They could vote us into a war and not fight it. They could vote to sink the ship and still be the first to be saved.

Aye right coz most men in this day of age would turn up to go fight for Sunak/Biden and their banker chums.

And is it not predominantly men who wish to stop woman from going to war, especially so in the past?

Well I'm not against their right to vote but I'm against their non responsibility 8f the consequences...

Which would be?

The only reason for men to strike is destroying society.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, and then you have the likes of children and settle down, after that the destruction of society kind of looks like it's not all it cracked up to be imho.

You see we cannot just turn society and civilisation off and back on again, the ramifications of it all falling apart being rather extreme, especially so where the next generation is concerned.

Still unable to answer my question!

Why don't we have completely open categories? No need for male and female sports.
What do you think will happen to female athletes who want to compete. Will any of them make it in the first top 20?

If you have issues as large as wanting to change your gender, then you have much, much bigger problems than a will to compete against others. Trans people should put their efforts into learning how to be the other gender, how to take on that roll as a person, and leave the sports stuff to folks who aren't battling those inner demons.

It does not exactly sound like a game where there would be many advantages down to sex(could be wrong).
.

I could say that about baseball
But, the difference is obvious to me, between male strength and female strength in any sport
At least you qualified your statement by admitting you are ignorant of the game

Glad common sense has prevailed and men can’t play against women

The governing body for cricket announced new regulations Tuesday that will prevent transgender women from competing in international matches, joining other sports like swimming and rugby with similar restrictions.

The International Cricket Council said Tuesday that “male-to-female participants who have undergone male puberty” will be ineligible to compete in international matches “regardless of any surgery or gender reassignment treatment they may have undertaken.”

One more step in the right direction after numerous sports have banned transgender women from participating in female competitions in the past 2-3 years . Key words: Female Competition

According to all standards and metrics transgender women athletes are not female competitors as they were born male anf will remain male for the rest of their lives. Protecting the integrity of female sports should be top priority but I would have gone even further to not allow transwomen in female sports regardless of whether they have gone through male puberty.

The ban doesn't apply to domestic cricket leagues but the governing bodies will decide whether transwomen can participate in female cricket competitions and at what level. I think common sense must prevail for once more.

Another step in the right direction would be for rational people to stop bending over backwards to use the fairy tale terminology.

Men were banned from competing in a woman's sport.

I repeat: These are men. There is no such thing as a transwoman. Stop indulging their mental illness. These people need treatment, not coddling.

Or rounders for that matter.

Again it's not a sport I'm really interested in.

The thing is we used to have a teacher Mr Kerr(complete nobh@ad of a man) who forced us to play the game at school, and it just did not take, its boring for some reason, or that's how i find it.

Just could not get into Cricket.

Each to their own all the same just my two cents on the game.

As long as there is no clear advantage, i really could not care that much, but obviously there is a distinction where some sports are concerned for a reason.

Some men really are jealous of natural born women and will go to any lengths to establish dominance.

They must have had Oppressive and Domineering Maternal figures.

Too much testosterone can make you violent and too much estrogen can make you bat# insane.

Women sports is not profitable... It's still male sports that brings the bucks and subsidies female sports league.

It's all for the womens feel good as they failed to actually add any value to society that is not birthing.

Even chess is adressing the trans issues so it's not about fairness in physical competition it's about womens non existing self esteem and their padded safe zones.

Spoken like a true incel

Besides the massive physical advantages (born) males would have in cricket, I imagine there would need to be possible legal ramifications taken into consideration.
We have seen how a bouncer traveling at 150kms can kill a player (Phill Hughes) so it would be more than likely to be lawsuits if female players start getting badly injured by these mega boy-woman.

And have a look at the Indian IPL cricket, even the girls are getting big bucks now.
