I’m absolutely shocked that an account with the pronouns/Palestinian flag/Bluesky username trifecta in their profile could produce such a stupid take. Shocked!

I'm so tired of lateness being viewed as a moral failing. I've been shamed for it my whole life because it's framed as "disrespect" (and no, it hasn't helped me be more punctual) and if I lost out on a major life opportunity because of it I don't think I could have ever recovered

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.

'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.

If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.

Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.

Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.

@Blackbeard62596 @SLCLunk @LDS_Dems This is one study with a small sample size that has several other problems as well. The majority of the research suggests that biological males retain some of their athletic advantage.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@Blackbeard62596 @SLCLunk @LDS_Dems That’s just plain false. Hormone treatment can reduce the male advantage but cannot eliminate it.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@Blackbeard62596 @SLCLunk @LDS_Dems He just made up that males have an athletic advantage over females?

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@stuPfIag @BaileePolitics @xIDESOFMARCHx @LDS_Dems @SLCLunk You’re funny.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@stuPfIag @BaileePolitics @xIDESOFMARCHx @LDS_Dems @SLCLunk She does not believe in a natural race hierarchy. I don’t even know how you would conclude that.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@SLCLunk @LDS_Dems This is such a clown comment. Dem has only taken a moderate position here and has only stated clear facts. It’s not his fault your position is way out there and has become incredibly unpopular with regular people.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@BaileePolitics @xIDESOFMARCHx @LDS_Dems @SLCLunk This is completely false. Hormones can decrease the athletic advantage males have, but not completely eliminate it. See Carol Hooven’s work on this.
Also, thinking the male advantage can be eliminated is just a few months is bonkers.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@JenniferSey If I were satirizing the pro-trans position, that’s exactly how I’d do it. Everything about it is so perfect. The only problem is that it’s not actually satire.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@HilllbillyHugs @irenebritusa Clever.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@HilllbillyHugs @irenebritusa This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@mara_yamauchi Some of these, but the biggest one you didn’t list - having her brain broken by ideology. I think she believes what she’s saying.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@LDSLaw @StallionCornell @jercan2 Boy, you sure proved him wrong with this response. /s/

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

Megan has no idea what she’s talking about. If you put a gun to her head, she wouldn’t be able to state the opposing position in a remotely accurate way. For someone so passionate about an issue to be so ignorant is embarrassing.

Former women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe says the International Olympics new plan to actually keep women's sports for females only is "really hateful."

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@BlindSpotsMag @brad_polumbo Whatever. None of this is actually relevant. What’s relevant is that Semenya has testes, went through male puberty and has male levels of testosterone, and therefore shouldn’t be able to compete with females.

@BenAlas1 @davidharsanyi @BernieSanders You’re an idiot who doesn’t know how anything works.

[Swan Ronson @ronsonswan5]

@Scienceofsport Also, people with male DSDs have medaled in women’s events in th Olympics. I know people like Caster Semenya aren’t trans, but they’re still relevant here.
