Peter Tatchell tweets his support for trans athletes, in light of the furore over transgender athlete Rachel McKinnon's recent triumphs on the cycling track:

Preventing trans women from competing in sport is denying their human rights. Most athletes have some form of advantage, such as fast-twitch muscle fibres, large hearts & lungs or extra long legs. Why single out trans competitors?

There follow hundreds of responses pointing out exactly why.

Worth a read.
