If a woman started taking testosterone she'd be disqualified from competing in women's pool. That's the official rule!
But men with testosterone who pretend to be women... come right on in!
Make it make sense.
How on earth do organisations produce this utter misogynist nonsense?! You, @USAFencing, subject all females to unfairness, then punish & humiliate women who say no. Your policy & behaviour are reprehensible. There is nothing inclusive, respectful or safe about what you’ve done.
Perhaps the convo has been too respectful @USAFencing
Perhaps a bit more outrage is in order.
And opposition is not “hate”, it’s just very legitimate pushback.
Stephanie Turner will be remembered as a hero. How will you be remembered?
peaceful, principled, POWERFUL.
Stephanie drew a line not just for herself, but for every little girl and woman watching.
And then you punish HER?
@USAFencing you suck
This young woman shouldn’t have to even think about this. But here we are. Kudos to her and the many other women & girls who are standing up to this madness. Courage begets courage …
Afghanistan has passed 21 laws this year restricting the basic freedoms of women.
The UN has passed zero resolutions condemning them. Complete moral bankruptcy.
Jewish women were tied to trees, their mouths blocked, while they were raped and tortured by Hamas on October 7th, just before they were executed or burned alive.
Women's organizations around the world were completely silent about this and still are.
Their silence is deafening.
Let me make this absolutely clear:
Gaza is a racist, apartheid hellhole of society that has systematically purged Christians and Jews.
Anyone with a shred of sanity should be backing Israel.
400 days ago, today. October 7th.
Hamas terrorists threw a grenade into the bomb shelter where a Jewish woman was hiding.
He entered, dragged her outside, shot her in the head, and smashed her head open with his rifle.
Don’t you dare forget why Israel is at war.
Here is a girl with a beautiful soul.
This is Maya Puder 💔
Hamas brutally murdered Maya at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th.
She was a young aspiring actress who hailed from Zichron Ya’akov, studied acting at the Yoram Loewenstein Acting School in Tel Aviv.
A school that I have had friends attend in the past.
“We are pained and shocked by the untimely death of Maya Puder, who was murdered by Hamas terrorists,” the school said in a statement.
“Maya was a beautiful and magical woman, pleasant and pretty, with a captivating smile and a unique personality. She was beloved by both her teachers and her classmates.”
In 2012, Maya was a camper at the Tamarack Camps’ Ruach Village in Michigan as part of a Detroit’s Partnership2Gether program:
“Our hearts are broken by this immeasurable loss,” the organizers said in a statement
Shira Pinkas, who worked with Maya at a restaurant in Tel Aviv, described her as:
“spicy, smart and funny. She was a huge light to all of us. She taught us not to take things too hard in life and to take things easy — she had a lot of self-deprecating humor… she was the kind of girl who everyone thought was their best friend.”
May her memory forever be a blessing 🕯️
“I couldn't save my child, and I'm just praying that I could be one of the small voices to help save these children.”
Former NBA player Eddy Curry “adopted” hostage Kfir Bibas as part of an awareness campaign for their release.
Curry, who played for the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks, tragically lost his 10-month-old daughter to gun violence in 2009, so he especially identifies with baby Kfir who was kidnapped by Hamas at 9 months old.
Curry says if Kfir’s story “doesn’t make you just put down whatever side you’re representing and say, ‘this is what’s right, this is what matters'… then you’re a monster.”
We must bring Kfir, Ariel, and their parents home from captivity now!
