(Pronouns - he/him) – Paul joins us offering his understanding and perspective as a cisgender father of an adult trans daughter. You can read about Paul’s experience of a trans parents journey of discovery in the article he posted on this website: For the four years since his daughter revealed her true identity, Paul has learnt first-hand the reality of being trans plus witnessed the lies that are spread on social media and in our national media and decided that there had to be a place for those within the community to feel safe and supported by like-minded allies.

Of course we know that Men have an advantage in most sports, it is obvious, and we all can see it – the official record books are there for all to check, and on average, there is a 10-12% advantage when you compare records in elite sport for Men & Women. But if we are focusing on facts, as clearly we should, then the only true comparison in this matter has got to…
