PLEASE @SkyNews could you use the correct language when talking about males being banned from female sport. 'Transgender women' as you keep calling them, are men/males who 'identify' as women/female. The correct term is 'trans identifying males'. The use of correct language and terms is so important for those who do not understand what is going on in women's sports and for honest discussion based on biological facts. #SaveWomensSports #HoldTheLine

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

A transwomen is not a woman it is a trans identifying biological male. Who no matter how many surgeries or hormones they take, will genetically remain male. This is a fact.

Just so you know.

Not a single man has the “lived experience” of being a woman.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

A man putting on a dress & a wig does not mean you are living as a woman. It means you are a man in a dress & a wig!

@TalkTV @THEJamesWhale @virtualash @ThePosieParker If you don't have a reasonable argument to back up your claims, silence the person who does. Is that the gist of this segment?
Women have said no to men, whether they call themselves transwomen or not, in their safe spaces.
We are still saying no.

@LucyZelic @FootballAUS Who are these so-called 'right experts' they are seeking advice from? Are they the mindless morons who simply quote the mantra 'transwomen are women' or are they actual biologists who deal in facts. Clearly, women worried for their safety when facing a male don't matter to FAUS.

Yesterday, Putney Rangers FC were due to play against Flying Bats FC in the Women’s Premier League First Grade Female Division but chose to forfeit. They are the second side to do so this season, following on from Macquarie Dragons FC, who forfeited on the 21st of April.

That this outcome could - even by the most romantic standards - be classified as positive is partially true, but it ignores one very crucial point; the rights of these women to play the game they love safely, and with competitive integrity, have been taken away from them.

They, and many parents, have voiced their concerns to no avail and now, forfeiting is all they have left.

Worse still, the custodians of our game remain publicly silent. Lest we be fooled by Football Australia’s claims that it “aims to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all Members participating in football.”

During my career, I have interviewed a range of exceptional female athletes, some of whom have represented our country. Some of them, have cried about the sacrifices they made just to play football, while others were as young as 14. These interactions have always been rewarding and so divinely innocent - most of the young players could barely make eye contact while we spoke.

For the entirety of their careers, they have been told that they don’t deserve as much money as the men, that their football quality will never supersede the men’s, and that they will never be as good as the men.

Now, as Flying Bats FC - a team with five transgender players - sit atop the Women’s Premier League in the North West Sydney Football Association - the female players opposed to playing against them, are once again being told they aren’t important or worthy. It is my understanding that some players are feeling distressed over facing disciplinary action because of their stances, and some are trying to get transferred out of the division.

This is shocking and I stand in solidarity with each of them.

What began as ideological inclusion has resulted in the exclusion of the women these single-sex categories were created for.

At the time of writing, the NWSFA adopt the following guidelines:

“5.2.1 In line with the FA Member Protection Policy, players may register and participate on the basis of their gender identification.”

The FA Member Protection Framework: Anti-Discrimination Policy states:

1. “Everyone should be able to enjoy participating in Football regardless of age, gender, ability or disability, cultural or religious background or sexual orientation, or other attributes that may lead to any person feeling excluded or isolated, and have a safe, positive and inclusive experience.”

But here is where National Sporting Organisations like FA, have not only contradicted themselves, but confused everyone in the process:

“4.1 The exceptions to State, Territory and Federal anti-discrimination law, including exceptions for sporting activities, include but are not limited to:”

“(b) excluding people on the basis of their sex and/or gender identity status from participation in a competitive sporting activity where the strength, stamina or physique of competitors is relevant to the specific activity (note that this does not apply to activity by children who are under the age of 12 years);”

One policy, built perilously on two very different ideals. “Hey! Come one, come all! (But psst - not if you’re bigger, stronger and can run for days).

That NSO’s are being deliberately obtuse on this issue and refusing to invoke the protective legislation is the greatest problem females seeking safety and protection in Australian sport are facing. Especially at the community level, which has long been regarded as the heart and soul of any sporting code.

You cannot play both sides of the fence.

Recently, I read an excellent quote which said “don’t be afraid of losing people, but be afraid of losing yourself trying to make everyone happy.” It is more true now, than ever before.

I was overwhelmed yesterday when I walked into the club to be presented by the local players with a winners trophy, cash, flowers, and a card. Although I didn't win, and for me, it's about fairness, this wonderful gesture made me feel like a true winner👏 #fairplayforwomen

[Janice 💜🤍💚 @JwJag4]

@leftistrevolt12 @stephbastiaan Just stay out of women's spaces and we'll all be happy

[Janice 💜🤍💚 @JwJag4]

@bambylea @stephbastiaan No we don't, not in today's society

[Janice 💜🤍💚 @JwJag4]

@Bad_Bad_Apple_ @stephbastiaan It's truly scary that you can answer my question so easily and yet you are probably right.
Looking forward for better times soon when consideration is given for all.
