THE TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN'S SPORT - What Pippa York gets wrong
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- The Women's Rights Network (WRN) takes a look at the claims made by Pippa York during a recent conversation with fellow cyclist Matt Stephens about Pippa's experiences in cycling.
Pippa York used to be known as Robert Millar and was an elite cyclist with significant achievements over the years.
There is a number of serious and significant errors. Women's Rights Network created this video to set the record straight based on the evidence from robust and effectively researched studies and recent events.
Also, keep your eyes peeled, there will be more on this topic by WRN!

BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES OF TESTOSTERONE
- Significant increases in total body mass
- Significant increases in lean/muscle mass and muscle density
- Reduction in body fat mass, improving strength and power-to-weight ratio
- Increased height, changed dimensions of important levers, greater bone density
- Increased haemoglobin levels
- Increased heart and lung size
RESULTANT PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES
- Significantly greater strength (between 50% and 60% percent by adulthood, with relatively greater upper body strength)
- Significant speed advantages (between 10% and 15% over various durations)
- Greater capacity to produce force/power (advantages of between 30% and 40% in explosive movement capabilities)
- Strength-to-weight and power-to weight advantages (even after adjusting for mass, height and similar level of performance (elite, untrained etc), males have a 30-40% strength advantage)

"No, thank you!" The most powerful words ever spoken by a woman!
Matt Stevens says we are 'lazy' - when it is he that is not only lazy,, but is stating evidence free arguments for men in women's sports. As for York/Millar - his misogyny is breathtaking.
Great video. Outrageous that the interviewer is just agreeing with every falsehood that comes out of York’s mouth without a single challenge. Weakened men still aren’t women, they are weaker men, and don’t belong in women’s sport.
If you shut your eyes, you hear two blokes talking about women's sport.
🤓
Two men deciding what women should think, believe and do. What's new? Athletes are famous for doing literally anything to win, this is just another means to win at any cost.
This is so needed right now, Thank You! Women's access to and visibility in sport is under assault. We use FACTS, not fantasies. Fantasies are what lazy people rely on, Matt..
Can't wait for you to see the video! You're going to love it. We have some amazing passionate sports women in WRN who really know their stuff!
If they're there is one thing transphobes don't do, it is use facts
Misogyny on the rise and it makes me angry at the age of 66 having fought this all my life!
Don't you just love the audacity of an over privileged man!
Why didnt his shoulders shrink 🙃
🤣
Great, and love the apt use of the soundtrack
The notion that an adult male can become a woman and compete against women in sport is just plain ludicrous !
TWAW, but their capacity to mansplain remains unaffected. No reduction in their bull production.
And the hands are still man's hands. Ditto the pelvis, the muscle mass, the arm and leg length.
😂🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
BRAVO!!!!!!
Every time someone calls a man "she" or "her" it makes my blood boil 😡
the fact that the author of this video put a like on this 100% transphobic, non sport related comment tells a lot on how biased this video is.
@@danieletognozzi7641 It's sports related when MEN are stealing women's sports trophies
@@motheringabomination1958 I agree it's a complex matter when it comes to sport, but if your blood boils "every time someone calls a man "she" or "her" is because you discriminate people that is taking the freedom to choose a pronoun, period.
@@danieletognozzi7641 Rubbish. Men cannot be women, it's as simple as that. It is grossly offensive to give away our language to men who fancy larping as their idea of a woman. The correct pronouns for a man are "he/him". He doesn't have a right to compel me to say words I don't believe, to lie about reality and to bastardise the English language. I'm not stopping you pandering to those men, so why does it bother you that I won't?
So in your small mind, you describe a sex by? A nurse ticking a box at birth?
Fabulous! Clear, factual & succinct & an excellent introduction for those that are not aware of the issues.
Mystic delusional stuff here , being brought back to reality by women's rights network.
Matt accusing women of a reaction that is in fact the reaction he has had to believing hook, line and sinker the TRA narrative. Matt should be ashamed of himself.
I never heard Matt use the words women in that context, he was talking about the population as a whole.
Great video, explains the issues so clearly and accurately.
You are an older man cheating women of their potential. It is just not fair.
Great start, thank you! Looking forward to more common sense 👏👏
My lord, this man is such a creep.
Women's normal T level is lower than this video says: 0.02-1.68 nmol/L
Thanks for your comment Roxytocin. 2.8 is the upper limit of normal for some labs, depending on your particular laboratory assay. Yes, the majority of women will have a lower level than that. We decided to go with the upper limit.
For normal women... What about top level athletes?
Very well explained and every opinion challenged with facts, politely, succinctly and accurately. Great presentation
Glad you liked it!
Loving the voice over👍🏾
#NoThankYou
Well done Glinner for the link.
Great film, well done! My take is that even if trans identifying male has reduced power, strength etc they are still way above what an equivalent women would have. Males have c 40% more muscle mass than women. If a trans athlete reduces T and his muscle mass declines by 10% that’s still more muscle than a woman has… similar figures for grip strength, punching power etc.
Excellent! Keep that information coming! 🙏🏽💯
You got it!
It’s very sad to see this man go the wrong way. I am genuinely sad to see him in this condition.
I take it his children were conceived naturally? The ‘supportive’ network for these poor people are doing great harm .
Can't wait!
Thanks Rupert.
Lies, built upon lies.

Matt Stephens is being a total Yes man here. "She" is Robert Millar. Always stuck up for Robert when i watched cycling on tv in the late 80s and early 90s. I missed the best part of his career in the early and mid 80s.
Watched him battle Michel Dernies in the 1990 kelloggs tour when I went out to Holme Moss on the final stage.
That's what I remember, as well as a very interesting chat one day with former brittish rider John Parker(RIP) whilst out riding a sportive in Lancashire.
I'm sure there are loads of women's groups out there- time to actually do something about this. We're not all shrinking violets.
Thank you. I'm late to the facts-gathering on this issue as I've been trying to avoid it but it just won't go away. The truth is setting me free.
I can't believe they're making a point of putting 8kilos of weight on after not training and competing at a professional level for over 5 years. You don't need to transition to do that, just a big load of takeaways on a weekend can do that! 🤷♀️
This is ridicularse of course. 'Trans' can compete against 'trans' maybe.
And all while trans women competed and won awards this year, two Namibian teens born female were excluded from competing in the Olympics due to having naturally high testosterone. Make it make sense :(
So their argument is “I’m weaker now (honest)” so women should loose their opportunities? So should small, weaker, mediocre sportsmen also be included in womens sports categories too? Do any of these men see women as ‘people’ that can speak for themselves, do we have the right to say NO THANK YOU or do the men get to decide what we have?
I just saw a Eurosport puff piece where Phillipa York went on to discount and wipe away all benefits of having gone through a male puberty with a simple sentence, by stating there is no advantage. Just like that. They even claim that in this piece here.
While i supoort her -she is not female but i will respect her wishes to be called her - way of life, i will vigorously defend the right of females to only compete against truly biological females. I will fight for the females not be to pitted against former males.
Going through a transition does not make you a female. You have no ovaries, the possible vagina you have is man made and surgically implanted, you are taking hormones at levels your body does not make on its own, the breasts you have are due to the hormones you are given or even surgically implanted and made of silicone, not because you are magically all of a sudden female. While you may feel like a female in your head, biolicially speaking you are male. Unless you are of the truly rare xxy variety and are truly in the middle of both sexes.
Matt Stevens wont bite the hands that feed him. I doubt he is this naiive. He comes accross as smart guy but i think his job and his income relies on him exressing a woke and politically correct view as that is what is demanded of him in the name of DEI. DEI which all corporations are keen to express as that, could, mean more income.
Is there info/link to the original of Matt and Rob/Pip?
I think Sigma Sports have taken it down.
Testosterone: less than five (used to be 10) for men, when women don't ever get over 2.5 nano wotsits.... WTFF are these 'sporting bodies' on. This bloody nonsense has got to stop
Caitlin Jenner disagrees with you. She is a kind and reasonable person.
Performance enhancing drugs don't help performance either. Do they?
Excellent piece
We need to be watchful if we're not careful the term Woman will be termed transphobic
No it won't be
