Hey hey, this is plenty fair – for the fewest. Fairness for transwomen, yay! – My best guess at the thought process of the organisers.
Yet ‘fairness’ that favours a group by giving them an advantage obviously cannot be considered fair, not even to the favoured group.

That guy on the podium in third place is as tall as the first place woman standing on a higher step. It’s ridiculous. He can compete in the men’s division, just as he always could. That’s fairness and inclusion for you.

Those who only see this from the angle that it’s empowering tor Transwomen are wearing blinders and can’t see the effect it has on women and girls. That’s being generous. They don’t care. That’s more likely the truth.
It will have the effect of women being discouraged from sports, or if they can find sponsors and backing, organizing their own.
he D197 DDR women’s swim team faced losing their medals for testosterone doping, known to be an advantage. It made them too manly. No one considers that when it comes to rrans ID males. But here they are, with their longer legs bigger hearts, larger capacity lungs.

Right, Mike. It’s straight up cheating.
