@Amielouise79 I can see what you’re getting at. But, by your logic... you should never call a bully out, in case that bully commits suicide? I mean, if causing further hurt is your concern, why focus on changing the attitudes of the people being trampled on? #BeKind

@BBCSport That sounds reasonable - it is sad that trans people have to be excluded for the sake of fairness, but I’m sure no true sportsperson would want to compete with an unsporting advantage anyway.
