Maxine Blythin, transgender cricketer.

Makes Caster Semenya's plight all the more ridiculous.

She is a genetic woman and is treated like shit. Yet seem to be fine letting men that have transitioned to be a female compete.

There's a weightlifter who may compete at next years Olympics who was born a man but competes as a woman.

More blokes are getting hair transplants. Do you think it's because more men are going bald, more men dislike being bald, or there are now opportunities to fix it?

Comparing transgenderism with blokes getting hair transplants

Nice of you to leave the rest out mind marra

Its not comparing them, its highlighting another example of a correlation between a rise in something and improvements in science/technology/attitudes.

A bit like how there appears to be more idiots now, but in truth they have always been there, they just now have platforms to be heard

We’re probably out of the realms of ‘cricket’ on this one now.

Take issue with you ignoring the fact many suicides are due to people regretting their decisions though. There is no reversal for having your cock and balls chopped off. Many people can’t cope with the unnatural change to their body. Hormone drugs are far more dangerous than a bit of ridicule too.

Not ignoring it marra, just not aware of it in any great numbers. I have worked with several projects in the past that dealt with transgender folk (and their issues) and those leading the projects highlighted emotional stresses, strains, family fall outs etc as the main driver for any suicides, not the loss of the fruit and veg (again, perhaps you are not aware of just how many stages and assessments people have to go to to get to that stage, not to mention then living as the opposite sex, having hormone treatment etc.

And yep, I think you correct with your former point.

Try telling a M to F transgender that they can't participate in women's sport.....

They shouldn't be able to. It's unfair and in certain sports downright dangerous.

We’re in agreement then - regarding the hormones.
