Chalk up another win for El Trumpo.

President Trump is preparing to issue an executive order Wednesday effectively banning transgender girls and women from participating in female sports events in schools and colleges, fulfilling a promise that fuelled his campaign for the White House.

I love a good man/woman. There’s a dude/sheila at my local Bunnings with a mighty bra and a baritone to rival a bass.

S/he’s alright with me, especially when s/he carries my heavy pots to the counter.

But, and no offense, I don’t want him/her competing against my daughters at netball. I fully endorse his/her right to play, but smashing women out of his/her path isn’t really, you know, sport.

Put him/her in the men’s league. Or have a man/woman league for those who choose to play with men/women.

Otherwise, it’s men/women crushing chicks for fun, which used to be called assault.

Let alone change room issues, which used to be called peep and pry offenses.

Long live feminism!
