@OtherSide61 There are transwomen playing in European women’s leagues, not in the US. The only trans player in the WNBA is a natal female so not a problem. Yes, BG raises eyebrows but she is AFAB and there are plenty of videos and photos of her as a young girl. It is possible she has a DSD.
The incomparable @KnownHeretic and @ZoeNope of Terf Bunny One fame have collaborated on a Terven anthem!!

@LondoSpark@forevercoco3@PennyRed The two pathways are mutually exclusive; while one may have a condition that interferes with the formation of gametes, no one can develop along both pathways simultaneously.
@LondoSpark@forevercoco3@PennyRed In humans, a biological female is one whose reproductive system, as developed in utero, is organized along the pathway designed to produce large gametes (ova).
A biological male is one whose reproductive system is organized along the pathway to produce small gametes (sperm).
@rachelblythe27@runthinkwrite But have you read it? In the autobiography, Caster recounts hanging out exclusively with other boys, dressing and grooming as a boy, rejecting all cultural expectations of femaleness, and even mentions saying they were not “the type of girl” to have periods or grow breasts.
„Gender-affirming care“: all questions answered.
It is simply no care at all; it is harm.
After following up all (!) Finnish patients under 23 years referred for “gender”, the authors of this paper found that
“in adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender re-assignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender re-assignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.”
This is a cohort of over 2,000 patients followed for up to 25 years. The 100% ascertainment of the fate of all Finnish “gender” patients <23 sets this report worlds apart from all other reports in the field: almost all other reports suffer from extreme rates of drop-outs making them methodically completely worthless medical fairy tales.
Of further note, on social contagion, the authors report that
“those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral.”
My psychiatry teacher at medical school always claimed that patients with psychiatric disorders very often seek self-treatment, frequently leaning towards trendy and accessible options.
This was back in the 1980s, and he was primarily referring to marijuana. He died in 2010 but would surely have recognised this very phenomenon in “gender-affirming care”.
‘Same pattern of lies repeated decades later.’
Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Dr Dionne Joseph, believes that gender transitions for young adults are one of the biggest medical scandals of our time, as a Finnish study reveals transitioning impacted mental health symptoms.
@anonymousREX17@HJoyceGender But also, the BSA still runs its troops as single sex, just some of them are all girls. And enrollment has continued to decline, even with the addition of the girls. That was not the problem.
@anonymousREX17@HJoyceGender Yes. I was furious. The BSA wasn’t “forced” however, it was a marketing decision to increase their numbers. My son benefited tremendously from the single sex Boy Scout environment and I feel the policy change was a huge mistake.
1. There are only 2 sexes, male and female, defined by reference to gametes and reproductive strategies.
2. Male and female are mutually exclusive categories.
3. This is true for all sexually reproducing species, except for a very small number of simultaneous hermaphroditic species (none of which is a vertebrate). In all mammals, sex is immutable. No mammal can change sex.
4. ‘Man‘ and ‘woman’ are labels that are attached, respectively, to adult male and female humans, in the same way as the terms stallion/mare, stag/hind, dog/vixen, boar/sow, ram/ewe, bull/cow and similar are applied in other specific species.
5. ‘Man’ and ‘woman’ are also mutually exclusive categories.
6. It follows that no male human can become female and no man can be a woman. So-called ‘transition’ is an illusory concept.
7. ‘Man’ and ‘woman’ are, therefore, sex-based concepts. They are not ‘identities’. To claim that, for example, ‘woman’ is a gender category and not a sex category, one would have to be able to provide a comprehensive list of the objectively observable criteria that make up ‘woman gender identity’ - the necessary traits, behaviours, characteristics and attributes that distinguish the said ‘identity’.
8. You cannot do this because all you have to fall back on is regressive and sexist performative stereotypes. Womanhood is not defined by reference to a feminine aesthetic.
9. In any event, sex is real and rooted in biology. It is defined by reference to objective scientific criteria. ’Gender�� is not real. It’s an entirely subjective construct that has no basis in reality. Sex and gender are not measured using the same tools. It is impossible for them to be either congruent or incongruent with each other.
Nothing in the above is ‘transphobic’, mostly because the term has no valid meaning. It is certainly a word that no longer has any power.
The above points merely contradict your quasi-religious, anti-science, anti-Enlightenment, ideologically-driven views. They represent the position of the vast majority of the world.
No one has to comply with your authoritarian dogma or your narcissistic compulsion to maintain a status of permanent victimhood and it isn’t ‘transphobic’ to say so.
You can hold whatever beliefs you like, but that does not mean that they are objectively true, especially when they are in direct conflict with reality.
🚨NEW: A new paper by exercise scientist @BrowngaGreg demonstrates a male advantage in running performance among under-8, under-9, and under-10 athletes in 70 m, 100 m, 200 m, and 400 m races.
"Between-sex performance differences were more than twice as large as the variability within sex among comparably placed finishers."
It simply isn't true that all sex differences in athletic performance arise during puberty. Trans-identified males who blocked their puberty still have a biological advantage over females, and should not be permitted to compete in the female category.

🚨NEW: Major scientific and media outlets have been using a recent @BJSM_BMJ analysis to assert that “transgender women” have no advantage over biological women in sports.
This is HIGHLY misleading, and it’s being used to justify elite sports policy the data cannot support.
The BJSM study measures recreational fitness in amateur populations, not elite athletic performance under extreme training.
Overlap in average fitness does not predict outcomes at the performance ceiling, where outcomes in elite sport is actually decided.
For @RealLastStand, ports scientist @jsmoliga breaks down why using this paper to justify competitive sports policy is scientifically unjustified.
