Sharron Davies reveals trans abuse

Olympic legend Sharron Davies says her critical approach to transgender athletes has had an adverse impact on her finances as work has dried up. The 59-year-old swimmer has been a vocal critic of transgender women taking part in sporting events – arguing that transgender athletes have a genetic advantage over female competitors who were born female. Her controversial comments have provoked threats online – with the star even receiving death threats due to her views. Sharron Davies told Kevin O Sullivan that her campaigning has led to significant abuse but that she is not transphobic. "I just believe that the females in the world deserve the same opportunities that the males have." #talktv #talkradio
