When we include men in all women's spaces, sports and services we exclude women from full and fair participation in a tolerant progressive society.
To the point where we no longer have a tolerant and progressive society.
Societies regress when women are excluded.
This is so ridiculous. "Trans" participation in sport is not the issue. It is about MALE participation in WOMEN's sports, a category meant for female athletes.
Oliver once again misrepresents the issue in order to gaslight women who simply want fair sport.
No one has once suggested that "trans" identifying males be banned from sport at any level. We simply would like males to be kept out of the women/female category, regardless of how they "identify"
No one is denying anyone the right to "exist." We are simply saying that women are adult human females, no one in the history of the earth has changed sex, and men (adult human males) do not simply become "women" by their own say-so and we should not be forced to pretend they are women in any area of society or the law.
Oh, and one other thing, John Oliver @iamjohnoliver@LastWeekTonight - contrary to your portrayal, the people who want trans-identifying males out of female sports are not anti-gay, nor are we conservatives. There are many, many liberal, lifelong Dem women, like me.
WoLF was asked to comment on “a segment on transgender athletes” by @LastWeekTonight with @iamjohnoliver. In the interest of transparency, we are publishing our full correspondence with the show. You can be the judge if the show seems unbiased.

@zeno001@iamjohnoliver Stupid little man @iamjohnoliver - have you any idea how ridiculous you sound? Read the room - pretending there is no difference between males & females is so last year. Woke is only being kept alive by the likes of you.
This story just gets better, the more I find out about it. Dee Brent, the she/her 'fact-checker' from @johnoliver 's show , who wrote a very sneery email to @WomensLibFront about men in women's sport is not only a man. He's a man called David Brent. 😂😂
Hey @USAFencing why are you forcing the girl to fight a boy?
You know that’s not right or fair.
XY chromosome dictates the boy has superior physical abilities to XX. That is a BIOLOGICAL FACT. We can’t change this by using a different terminology or even with biochemical hormones.
Unless the boy’s entire DNA in every cell of his body is transformed genetically to different DNA sequences coding for XY chromosomes, he will NEVER be a girl.
Are you trying to get the girl physically harmed by the boy?
Why can’t the boy fight in his own biologically comparable category with other boys? If he wants to a trans , he can. No one is stopping him. He just had to fight against other trans. That’s is the fair and reasonable way.
STOP ENDANGERING GIRL’S LIVES AND BODIES by forcing them to fight physically against boys. You know in your heart of hearts you are WRONG.
@icons_women@USAFencing@USAFencing You should be protecting your female athletes.
No woman should have to take a stand like this, at her personal cost. Fix your damn policy and stop men competing in the women’s fencing category.
🤺🚨Historic Protest: Female Fencer Takes a Knee in Bout Against Male Opponent, Faces Immediate Disqualification
After receiving a black card for refusing to compete against a man, Redmond Sullivan's female opponent was expelled from the @USAFencing event at the Univ. of Maryland over the weekend. Sullivan fenced for the men's team at Wagner College last season before switching to the women's team this season.
