It isn't just 130 college athletes. It is 100% of all female college athletes being impacted by having males in female sports.
When AB Hernandez wins gold, it isn't a matter of 'just 1 trans athlete in amongst dozens competing.' It is dozens and dozens of young women being negatively impacted by having a man in their sport.
At the Rio Olympics, all 3 medals in the Women's 800m went to men. This was not a case of 'just 3 male athletes.' It was 50 female Olympic 800m athletes from all over the world, being cheated out of heats, places, records, and medals.
Plus all the women who competed to get to the Olympics. Plus the women whose team places these men took.
Plus the women who gave up on their athletic dreams because they didn't want to compete with men.
And so on.
@JournalismSEEN He passes so well no one has ever challenged him , yet he’s been asked in a group not to use female toilets . Either we can tell or we can’t , which is it ?
@o0oColmo0o@CrunchAlias The words “Trans women” aren’t a magic incantation that turns Bill into a woman. Trans women are men! It’s your responsibility to make your spaces safe and inclusive for them. You don’t get to give other men permission to violate our consent! Women’s boundaries are not bigotry.
@PennyRed The Equality Act is not a "new bill". Since sexed toilets were introduced 100 years ago, male loos have been for boys & men & female loos for girls & women.
Some men decided to invade the female toilets. The Supreme Court had to re-iterate they were not entitled to.
🚨Taliban bans bridal makeup and perfume even at weddings
The Taliban has banned bridal makeup, artificial hair, perfume for women (even at weddings if the scent reaches non-mahram men), engagement rings, music, dancing, and seating the bride and groom together — calling them against Islamic law.
@adukeMN Just so everyone understands.
We do not have to argue about "advantage".
We do not have to argue about safety.
We do not have to justify a damned thing.
We have said no, that's it. NO males in female sport.
@AlbaVeeDub@WomenReadWomen I’m going to hazard a guess she’s right given her answer . Nothing says thick quite like not knowing the answer to this “conundrum”
Dear women, I don't care if he's your bestie and a sweet guy. He doesn't belong in women's spaces. I don't know him. He's a stranger to me and to every other woman. I have no reason to trust him. I don't know you either.
Girls who deserve female only sports:
Girls that are shit at sports
Girls that come last place
Girls that train really hard
Girls that could train harder
Girls that don’t know they will get into sports as an adult
Girls that come fifth place
Girls doing races that aren’t a race but are timed and record first finishers
Girls that are mediocre
Girls that excel
All of them deserve fairness.
@AllisonMorris1@Olliemac@bbcradioulster Women are in danger from men they know in their own home but never in danger from men they don’t know outside their home , strange logic here
