🚨 Record Alert 🚨
Smriti Mandhana is now the leading run-getter in women's internationals 🫡🫡
She surpasses former #TeamIndia captain Mithali Raj 👏👏

When words like Hindutva, Sunni law, Waqf Board, personal laws, Ayodhya, etc. dominate our national conversation, we push India toward becoming a religious nation rather than a scientific one.
That is a huge mistake for future generations.
India’s future must be built on science, reason and critical thinking-not religion.
Who tf has given the right to creatures with a pénis to dictate whether women should stay at home or not? Has Islam made men the custodian of religion? And women the doormat of the religion?
What's with this flood of regressive Islamic clerics, relics from a previous century, spouting such arrant nonsense? And what will it take to get them to shut the fuck up?
Trans women athletes are required to be on HRT as a prerequisite to compete in women's sports.
Whilst testosterone deprivation cannot shrink height, suppressed testosterone does result in reduced bone mineral density and reduced muscle and inhibits the ability to build as much muscle as those who have their normal or high concentrations of testosterone.
Testosterone suppression also reduces hemoglobin concentrations to cisgender female levels in just 3 months, while estrogen supplementation increases the total body fat
% in trans women by between 20 and 34% in just the first 12 months.
This results in what we call reduced fat-free mass. Fat provides resistance for movement, as opposed to a muscle, which provides torque for movement. Consequently, the more fat-free mass someone has, the better athlete they are likely to be independent of sex or skill level.
Couple this with the reduction of the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in blood to cisgender female levels after around three months of GAHT, and a trans woman's body will be significantly underpowered. Trans women at 3 months of T deprivation have less delivery of oxygen to their working muscles produces a higher rate of metabolites and consequently results in muscle fatigue.
Based on this data, a cisgender male and a trans woman cannot be equated.
Trans women are physiologically different from men even before the onset of GAHT, hence I believe the basis of any blanket ban policy is flawed.
In summary
There is very low participation of trans people in sport due to a large number of barriers such as actual or anticipated discrimination.
Hormone therapy leads to substantial physical changes in trans women, which often narrow or eliminate many performance differences over time.
Any remaining differences are small and vary by sport. Some studies show a slight residual advantage in certain measures (e.g., handgrip strength) and a disadvantage in others (e.g., lung function and aerobic fitness). How much this matters depends on the demands of the specific sport.
Safety concerns are mostly hypothetical. To date, there is no solid evidence that trans women pose a greater injury risk to cis women in sport.
Fairness and inclusion can coexist. With thoughtful, evidence-based policies, both can be achieved without resorting to blanket bans.

Dipke going around the schools and showing the reality of how bad it is.
RaGa going on his student campaigns and actually talking about issues.
And if after all this that hatemongering party keeps winning elections than this nation deserves its destruction.
What Abhijeet Dipke and his team is doing is what should have been done by Government and the Government Officials. Your problem is not why they haven’t done anything to improve conditions of Schools. Your problem is why he and his team is exposing it. The problem is in You
"Don't encourage children to protest, don't bring children into protests, this is their age to study".
This is also not the age to take part in religious processions, run amok for a month doing whatever they please, or make vulgar gestures while wearing saffron, but here we are
One thing that most of you always forget is he is never talking to people like you and me. He is always speaking to boomers and GenX/millenial parents. His whole speech is targeted at dividing families. "Dimaagi Naxals" who Mr Prime Minister? Who should isolate them? Families should isolate their children for asking questions and not supporting you? You cannot connect with Gen Z so you want to control them through their parents and grandparents?? You want people to abandon their own kids if they think, question, resist and hate you??? Wow!
14 दिन से शांतिपूर्ण भूख हड़ताल पर बैठे देवेंद्र नाथ महतो पर अस्पताल में पुलिस का हमला शर्मनाक है!
@ranchipolice, शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शनकारियों पर हाथ उठाने का अधिकार किसने दिया? @HemantSorenJMM, छात्रों पर पुलिसिया बर्बरता की नैतिक जिम्मेदारी आपकी है!
Shame that Modi used the occasion of Independence Day to take cheap shots calling his opponents “Dimaagi (Mental) Naxals”.
Instead of apologizing to the youth for using violence & pellet guns on them, Modi is peddling his usual nonsense.
Dump the ego, Mr PM. It’s not helping.
First He called his opponents ‘urban naxals.’
Now He calls them ‘dimaagi naxals.’
It is a sure sign of His desperation. It is a separate matter that He ends up doing whatever these so-called ‘urban naxals’ or now ‘dimaagi naxals’ are demanding or advocating.
It is not for nothing that the PM has a MA being the Master Abuser in Entire Political Science that he is.
