I don’t think any of the contributors to this thread can be classed as trolls, based on what I’ve seen.

Honestly fetch?- a poster who has no other post & their second post is to accuse me of acting illegally by saying I do not believe males with their full male anatomy intact have no place in women's sport.

If we are to have female sport in the future it is surely completely on topic to discuss what the definition of that means otherwise folkowing that argument to its logical conclusion if we hsve no definition anyone could say they want to compete as a woman.

Jovi, you said you don’t accept transwomen with male genitalia as women. That’s the illegal discrimination.

In order to be helpful and to prove my non-troll credentials here is my attempted definition of female sport (not women’s sport, female sport):

A competition open to females who do not have a significant or substantial physiological advantage in the relevant event, wherein said advantage directly or indirectly results from past or present hormone levels as compared to an average female competitor of the same age.

I'm not discriminating but neither am I compelled to accept your world view.

GeeRizzke - And how would you define female? Testosterone levels are not the only determinator of male/female differential. Are you a genetic microbiologist? If not I'd politely refer you to the video/transcript I posted earlier in the thread from an expert in the field of genetic microbiology. I welcome your comments on that.
