I'm just a girl, standing in front of a society, asking that it make policy based on evidence.

New paper out on hand grip strength, sex, and testosterone. Interestingly it attributes some difference in handgrip strength to sex-based difference other than T, because the difference in hand grip strength emerge at around 8, but T doesn't kick in until 10.

@lspear412 @adjuster8861044 @hecheateddotorg @Simone_Biles A male exposing his penis to non-consenting women and girls is committing a crime. Why are you minimising non-contact sexual offending?

@lspear412 @adjuster8861044 @hecheateddotorg @Simone_Biles There was a request for information, so I listed some examples.
Are you alleging the story was made up, or just that you don't like The Daily Mail?

🧵NEW: My latest paper, published by @E_C_S_S, is a meta-analysis of sex differences in grip strength from birth to age 16.

Conclusion: "Boys have greater grip strength than girls from birth onward. Prior to age 11, the sex difference in grip strength is small-to-moderate in size, with female grip strength about 90% of male grip strength. At age 11, the sex difference in grip strength decreases because girls reach puberty earlier than boys. Nevertheless, boys still retain a strength advantage at age 11. After male puberty, the size of the sex difference in grip strength increases markedly. At age 16, female grip strength is 65% of male grip strength. With a few exceptions, the observed effect sizes have been largely consistent across time and place. Together, with other findings from the biological and medical literature, the current results suggest a largely biological origin of the sex difference in grip strength in children and adolescents."

@AlexXanthaki @sharrond62 It doesn't matter *why* they do it. They retain male physical advantage in sports; it is therefore unfair to women to allow them to compete in women's sports.

[CrimeLine @CrimeLineLaw]

More than 70% of transgender prisoners in British jails are serving sentences for sex offences and violent crimes, according to government figures. Figures by the MoJ show at least 181 of the 244 transgender inmates, more than 74%, are in jail for crimes including rape, forcing under-age children into having sex, grievous bodily harm and robbery. Up to 144 transgender women, men who identify as females, are housed in male prisons while five are currently in female jails - including at least one top security institution where murderers and terrorists are being detained. Maya Forstater, of Sex Matters, a human rights organisation that campaigns for clarity on sex in law, said: "This testimony is important and HM Prisons must take heed. It has already implemented policies that keep many trans-identifying men out of women's prisons, but it needs to finish the job and ensure all prisons are truly single-sex."

After a long campaign against the so-called ‘Gender Quotas Bill’ in Wales, we are delighted that @WelshGovernment have finally now decided to scrap it.

This Bill was always an unlawful attempt to lever in self ID in Wales, a direct threat to the rights of women and girls, and would have inevitably ended up in the Supreme Court.

Is childhood-onset gender dysphoria that persists into early puberty highly persistent in adolescence and adulthood if untreated? In the opinion of many experts, yes. But—as far as I can see—this is not supported by the evidence.
