The shady question reinforces myths around trans athletes. We call on you to urgently address this question, making it clearer so you don’t have skewed results. We also recommend user testing on surveys with people with lived experience.
🧵5/5
Many who oppose the inclusion of trans athletes erroneously claim that allowing trans athletes to compete will harm cisgender women. Netballers vary in athletic ability and the sport is already played by a wide variety of women of many shapes and sizes.

This question specifically creates total confusion. People might want to be inclusive and say yes to this question - but what they’re actually saying is yes to gender policing and intrusive medical examinations. This harms all women.

Hey @EnglandNetball - we received your survey on Gender Categories. We’re glad you’re finally doing this consultation - BUT - we’ve got big concerns that 1 question could be designed to cause further harm to our trans sisters.

.@FirstBSA 2nd time this week a bus hasn't turned up after I've sat and waited its been showing live 73 free seats and then just disappeared off the app and not turned up. Today 36, easton Road ne, 11.49
@FirstBSA you are not running the service you say you provide. At least twice a week I wait for the 36 and it says due on your app then just disappears and doesn't come. Today church Street 9.14am did not come. No notification of cancellation.
@FirstBSA why do you cancel Busses with no notice and no update. Just waited 20 mins for the 36. Said it was due then disappeared off the board and the app!? Next one not for another 35 mins!?
What if #BlackLivesMatter protesters had carried torches? Would they live to tell about it? White supremacy and privilege do indeed exist. https://t.co/rhCcxuBFGR
