@Martina@ACLU It's totally unfair to the female competitors. I can't believe people are still trying to make excuses that ITS totally acceptable for this to happen. It's not about going against Trans people, it's about FAIRNESS IN THE SPORT.
@ACLU I love you ACLU, but you are wrong on this. Unless you want to completely remake what Women’s Sports means, there can be no blanket inclusion rule. There is nothing stereotypical about this- it’s about fairness and it’s about science. Thank you.
Honoured to be interviewed by #MeghanMurphy on this @FeministCurrent podcast.
The beginning of a conversation that desperately needs to happen!
It is critical👉🏼 #IOC to set #biology-based eligibility standards that keeps the #female#athlete category level for #valid results 🙏🏼
@DaniNew18 So many transwomen just don’t grasp that women clock them, and politely withdraw/ fake normality. It isn’t passing, love. It’s forced politeness. We’re women ffs. It’s how we’re raised. You have male privilege. Not passing privilege. 🙄
1. THREAD on breast binding: This is the third batch of screen grabs we have received from a member of the online "affirmative" parent support group. The focus of this set is serious hazards from breast binders. Our source says this is a tiny smattering of what's on the forum.
@wastedchick3n @MichaelVatuone @notch Oh sweetie. It’s because they love them that they try to prevent untested drugs, sterilization, mutilation, and try to protect them from an ideology that teaches suicidal ideation and self harm. These are vulnerable children. Be who you REALLY are. Not a chopped up shadow victim.
The media have been complacent in this.. I was asked by a big tv show to do a spot on transgender sport. I said yes providing they got a highly qualified medical professional to talk science. They dropped the feature! Sensationalism not truth.
@AliceTotterdown@sharrond62@CarlBrian29 Mm. If that happened, some are probably TRAs trying to discredit the wider gender critical or biology acknowledging voice. It’s a common TRA tactic to join a feminist forum and attempt to goad women to post hatred, taking screen shots of posts to ‘prove’ transphobia as a gotcha.
@james_m_wilt @mountroyal4u Thank you for hosting the debate @mountroyal4u it’s necessary that discussion takes place in a respectful way. I hope audience members who derail as discussed in this thread will be removed. Planning to silence women’s voices in this way rather proves the debate is necessary.
@MariaMillerUK You’re the GRA’s equivalent of Cameron and Brexit: you had no idea of the chaos you were unleashing, you were too arrogant to listen to warnings, and now you’re trying to walk away from the mess you created - a mess that will take decades to resolve.
@MsHelenWatts @MariaMillerUK It's allowed for men to cross sex-segregated boundaries as though they are not there - there is no barrier to the protected spaces of girls and women if men can just say they are women as well - in the Girl Guides.
No protection at all Maria.
It has to stop.
4. Not dysphoric at age 6, no problem with penis. Mom got the tucking underwear. This is not an uncommon thing that some parents report. Why are such children considered the opposite sex by their parents? Who has encouraged them to think this way?
@MariaMillerUK You insulted countless women with your “purported feminists” remark. Your actions enabled a climate where a Brownie cannot sleep or change her clothes in a single sex tent without risk of being labelled a bigot and ostracised from the group.
@campervanwoman @EvieChapelle @OwenJones84 @shonfaye As a man wearing make-up, Sean was pushing gender boundaries. Now he’s a woman called Shon, she conforms to the worst possible gender stereotypes. She’s a coward. Easier to claim to be a woman and seek approval for being conformist than to rebel and challenge masculine norms.
