What is a Woman according to Sir Peter Bottomley

"Why should a cyclist who is the 500th fastest in his age group or category be allowed to declare themselves a woman, and win a women’s cycling race?
There is no justification for that. There never was, and there never will be."

I absolutely recognise there are two sexes: this is a straightforward fact.

I feel unsafe, in this world and in this country, because of this toxic debate.

What we must do is to not allow a very small percentage of the population to allow us to be distracted, to take away from women's rights.

It's completely unfair that biological males who've passed puberty should be involved in any aspect of women's sport.
