Since 1976, transgender women have been eligible to compete in the ladies' category at major tournaments such as Wimbledon, the United States Open, the Australian Open, and the French Open. Despite this, fifty years later, there has yet to be a transgender woman who has won a Grand Slam title.

In tennis, if a male athlete wishes to transition from the male to female category, the process typically requires the athlete to abstain from competition for several years.

The sport does not permit a male player to simply declare a gender change and immediately participate in female events at Wimbledon or other tournaments.

As both a researcher and a transgender athlete myself, I concur that no male athlete should be allowed to self-identify as female and compete in women’s categories without meeting established criteria.

For male athletes seeking to compete as females, the regulations specify strict hormonal requirements. They must undergo hormone therapy involving testosterone suppression and estrogen supplementation for a minimum of two years. During this period, they are required to maintain testosterone levels below 2.5 nmol/L and undergo additional physical assessments.

Such hormone treatment significantly impacts physical attributes related to athletic performance, including stamina, strength, recovery, and speed.

Research indicates that even in international sports such as cycling, transgender women lose their male advantage within one year of beginning hormone therapy. After three to four years of treatment, a male athlete would likely experience diminished physical capabilities, making it improbable to compete successfully or win at the Grand Slam level in women’s tennis.

im against sex work not in a “sex workers are sluts and degenerates” way but in a “we should live in a society in which exploiting our bodies is not necessary for survival” type of way

Zendaya on being a feminist:

"I consider myself feminist, but I would consider myself an intersectional feminist, meaning you can't pick and choose which kind of women or types of women or from which backgrounds you choose to support. If you choose to support women, that includes all women. I think it's important to keep that in mind when you choose to call yourself a feminist."

you seem pretty prone to procrastination for a girl so scared of failure

Sure, your eyes aren’t tricking you. That clip looks better than the new trailer, and the reason has nothing to do with talent. The VFX supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014? Jerome Chen. The VFX supervisor on Brand New Day? Also Jerome Chen. Same person. Completely different system around him.

In 2014, Chen had 50 effects artists at Sony Imageworks, the largest VFX crew the studio had ever put on a single project. They handled about 1,000 of the film’s 1,600 VFX shots on a $255 million budget. The crew shot on real film (not digital), on location in actual New York City, scanned Times Square with 36,000 photographs of over 100 billboards, and built physical lighting rigs on set so the CGI would match the real world.

Now look at how Marvel makes Spider-Man movies. No Way Home had 2,500 VFX shots spread across 12 studios and about 3,000 artists. The budget was $200 million, $55 million less than TASM2 despite having 56% more VFX shots. Digital Domain, one of the VFX vendors, was delivering final shots days before the December 17, 2021, release. They kept reworking shots into mid-January, after the movie was already in theaters.

Zoom out, and the math gets worse. Marvel released 6 films between 2008 and 2012. From 2023 to 2025, they pushed out 7 films and 7 TV shows. The Hollywood union representing VFX workers reported that Marvel pays artists about 20% below industry average and staffs one person where other studios hire three. Artists described 64-hour weeks and breakdowns on the job. Then, in February 2025, Technicolor, the parent company of MPC (three-time Oscar winner for Life of Pi, The Jungle Book, and 1917), collapsed almost overnight. 4,500 jobs gone globally. The studio had been actively working on Disney and Paramount films when the lights went out.

Brand New Day has four months before release, and trailers routinely show unfinished shots. But the gap between a 2014 Spider-Man and a 2026 Spider-Man has nothing to do with technology going backwards. The industry has been asked to do three times the work for less money per shot while its biggest studios are going under.

"women are people with periods."
not really many women dont menstruate.
"well, women are people with uterus!"
you can literally remove your uterus.
"women are people born with uterus!"
you can be born without one.
"women are ppl with two X chromosomes"
you can be AFAB and have a Y chromosome.
"well women are people who are female at conception."
everyone is female at conception.
there is no way to define womanhood that excludes trans women but includes all cis women.

"You hate AI because it's going to replace you" Actually, I hate genAI because it is built off of stolen data, it breaks copyright laws, it's poisoning the planet & black communities. It's raising our electricity bills. It's spreading misinformation & making people fucking stupid

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

£49.18 is the standard weekly allowance for asylum seekers.

It's reduced to £9.95 if meals are included with accommodation.

You need a national insurance number to claim benefits or work. Asylum seekers do not have one.

No free phone (or Ipads). Occasionally, sims, or recycled phones are provided by charities.

Just in case anyone is interested in the facts.

its okay to fall in love with a man

[sylvie ⚢ ☥ @femmepyr]

someone needs to tell these bisexual micro celebs that lesbians aren’t mad at them for discovering that they love men or whatever. lesbians are mad at them when they go on weird rants about how they feel oppressed for doing what is expected of them (being attracted to men)

People say, “if you’re not using AI to write, you’ll be left behind!” meanwhile study after study has shown severe and immediate cognitive decline in those who use it regularly. I’m still capable of reading and have a functioning brain, so who’s really being left behind here?

[Lin 🇫🇮 @Lfromthenorth]

Sexuality is not fluid btw.

If she felt pressured to identifying as a lesbian, that means she isn't a lesbian. I promise it's okay to be bi. Have some pride in that, instead of throwing lesbians under the bus.

[trash jones @jzux]

“use AI or you’ll get left behind” oh no that’s ok you guys go on ahead i’ll be back here with my reading comprehension and critical thinking skills
