I'm not particularly a fan of Piers but it's a fair question ......

She did give a clear answer, just not the binary one you wanted.
Lets be honest this isnt about gender issues, its about Morgan being a complete tw@t
Morgan is a playground bully who always wants to be a winner by doing others down
And Lisa Nandy refused to play his childish game.
Why go on then?
Kudos to Lisa Nandy for having the balls to go on (see what I did there
)Again then, why go on?

Tricky topic. I honestly think that the only fair way to do it is set testosterone levels for "male" and "female" categories and have regular compulsory tests.
But, that will destroy sport and turn people off.
Being a woman with more testosterone will be a fair advantage, but then, all other women should be allowed to supplement.
And a man with lower than average testosterone, should then be allowed to take drugs to raise it to alpha male levels.
Again, it would destroy sport.
The only real option is to have a clear rule in sport, no drugs are allowed that alter your testosterone levels at any time, before or during competition. Let the women with high levels be naturally gifted in sport, and don't question.
But it raises the next question - how do you determine if the level was natural, or and not artificially raised in the years before they started competing, giving them years of training advantage.
Trick innit?

I’ve heard that many female Russian field athletes (shot putt, Javelin and discus) failed the basic urine test mainly because they couldn’t get their cocks in the bottle.
That raises the point - what happens about the women athletes who transform into men?
Are they allowed to continue in the women's sport, or
should there be a handicap system in men's sport for those who are too small or not good enough?
Should people who can't sing be allowed to be opera stars?

They allow them on x factor.
There are categories for those who are too small or not good enough in some sports. Boxing, rowing, judo all have weight categories. Weight lifting has competitions where your body weight is a factor as well, probably loads more. Edit: football with under 21s or sports with veterans categories.
For men who transition into women there are rules. I believe the main point in them at the moment is to cap testosterone levels. I don't think anyone is particularly pleased with them as rules, but they are reasonable and I haven't heard any better suggestions.
Competitive sport is slightly different from Opera, rubbish singers just won't get employed. But it's not ok for Pavarotti to take part in a childrens talent show and take first prize.
So, we don't need separate women's events in those cases.
Piers had one.
That's the point. It's not fair.
Banning people just because they are {whatever} is discrimination.

Bet his voice ain't up to much these days, having been deceased now for over 12 years, he almost certainly is a rotten singer now.
