00:13I'm Alison Ware from For Women Scotland Sports and we're here protesting at BBC
00:18Scotland in Glasgow against the BBC's consistent use of the term she for male
00:26athletes in female sports and we're particularly protesting at the moment and the
00:31award of the Women's Footballer of the Year to Barbara Banda who is a male
00:36footballer with the DSD. Women deserve their own fair sports, women deserve
00:42to compete in their own category. We have categories for a reason, these categories
00:46are physical, we wouldn't allow adults to compete in children's categories, we
00:53wouldn't allow able-bodied athletes to compete in para categories and women
00:57deserve their own fair and safe sport in their own categories.
