They think trans women have an unfair advantage in… fishing?
Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.
The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.
This isn’t a facepalm. If they want to compete in a woman’s only tournament they should be allowed to want that.
Except when the whole point is getting women into the sport, and transwomen just dilute that message.
