I am very happy that we are winning on sports. It's great. Men and boys have no business being anywhere near women's sports or locker rooms.
I'm glad the US Supreme Court saw sense and ruled that states may maintain single-sex sports. Great!
In America, we never would have gotten here if it were not for groups like @icons_women, the business @xx_xyathletics, athletes like @sophaller, or the world class @Martina.
Globally, there are so many more women who have gotten us to where we are on sports. @FondOfBeetles, @coachblade, and @sharrond62 come to mind immediately.
And the radical feminist groups that have been fighting this for years. @WDI_USA has been on the scene since 2020. @WomensLibFront was founded in 2013 and sued Obama over Title IX in 2016.
There are so many more!
Point of order, though: We CANNOT win on sports and then rest on everything else. We will not be finished when sports are won. This is going to be a long slog.
The vast majority of media outlets are still lying to everyone about the material reality of sex. There are still "gender clinics" harming people. Schools are still teaching kids that they may have been "born in the wrong body." Not a single federally elected Democrat has stood up and said, simply, "A woman is an adult human female."
This is not finished until the material reality of sex is restored in every way. And, this is not finished until women as a sex class are free.

McSharry claims “trans people are not hurting anyone.”
Self ID has enabled men in women’s prisons/refuges/sports, the erasure of sex-based language in policy and law e.g. people with uterus/chest feeders/people with a cervix.
Forced trans ideology in schools against parent’s wishes.
Ireland’s GRA was rushed with little debate & “under the radar.”
A Countess poll showed little support for pure self ID & only 17% agreed with the current law allowing birth certificate changes. Public opinion is more cautious than activists claim.
Gender affirming care isn’t “healthcare.” It’s body modification of healthy tissue (blockers, hormones,surgery) with weak evidence & risk of permanent harm.
Trans people have equality under the law. What they often lack is unrestricted validation of their identity at the expense of other people’s rights, especially women & children.
No one has the “right” to rewrite biological reality or compel others to ignore sex.
Sex is binary & immutable. Safeguarding must be protected.
@IrishTimesOpEd Pride has been hijacked by loony fetishists and the alphabet mafia. We are not allowed talk about the harms to women’s rights and vulnerable children for fear of being labelled ‘transphobic’.
This is an excellent article by Emma Healy in the @RoscommonPeople highlighting the capture of Irish society through the enforcement of gender ideology and the societal costs of imposing contested beliefs.
The problem isn't that you're captured yourselves @Education_Ire@DeptCDE@GovIE@INTOnews@astiunion@HSELive or that you at least pretend that you believe it all.
It's that you think you can drag everyone else along with you—including other people's children.
We’ve all had a few days to sit with @JuliaGillard’s declaration of whoops and as the minutes go by, the angrier I get. Not just at the admission that, basically, it was a “regret” to open up the legal category of women to men, but at the reluctance to admit it was wrong.
And the fact that it’s only now, after amazing UK women & men are putting on pressure by turning up to her events to remind of her of the whooosy, that she dares to say anything.
Not when @jk_rowling was getting countless r*pe & d*ath threat from the very men these kind of laws were changed to include.
Not when a man in his 50s took a pregnant woman (🙋♀️) to federal court, using that very specific Australian law change & institutional capture to his advantage.
Not when @ActiveLesbians were told by the Australian Human Rights Commission that heterosexual men who claim to be lesbians must be included in lesbian events.
Not when @martina came under attack for defending women’s sport, years after already battling for LGB rights.
Not when @KirralieS was dragged through courts for bringing attention to MEN who claim to be women in womens sport.
Not when that very league told the women in that sport if they so much as walk off the field because men are on it *they* will be punished.
Not when media started reporting on school girls not drinking WATER at school because boys were in the only unisex bathroom available to them & no adults would help them.
Not when women prisoners finally got word to the outside that they were in cells with MALE SEX OFFENDERS, locked up with them only because the Gillard amendments to the sex discrimination act (arguably) allowed it.
Not when Jasmine Sussex’s life was turned upside down for stating the fact that men cannot breastfeed infants, and because men can be women in law suddenly she’s the bad guy.
Not when the sex discrimination commissioner told senate estimates that men who claim to be women can have pregnancy protections in law but women can’t have single sex spaces, thereby interpreting the Gillard amendments to give men protections they don’t need while taking away women’s protections we do need.
Not when countless women in Australia and around the world were and are being punished for saying NO to this absolute bullsh-t that men can be women in law.
She said nothing until it started to interrupt her day in the mildest of ways. It’s pathetic.
@amnesty What the actual f*ck happened to what you stand for? They are not denied the right to participate, it just has to be in the category that aligns with their biological sex. And what about the rights of women and girls you absolute clowns?
@USATODAY Everyone can compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex. This should not be controversial. What is controversial is stripping women and girls of their sex based rights.
Transgenderism really is the biggest pile of shite to ever crawl itself out of the fucking shite bucket.
It's nothing but male privilege, male aggression, male desire, male fetishism, and it's brainwashed half of the world who think destroying women's rights in the name of men in fucking dresses is progressive.
You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
