This is what a lack of knowledge about what's actually being regulated and why it's being regulated looks like.

@IndiaWilloughby @ParkerMolloy @RogerPielkeJr @TraceyLeeHolmes

Sex tests are not merely mouth swabs. These tests are not about excluding trans women from the WTA.

Any female identified with a SRY gene will be subjected to secondary sex testing procedures. The last time the Olympics did sex testing 8 women were found to have an SRY gene. All underwent invasive secondary testing and all were cleared to compete as they had no advantage. Sadly all of their careers and in one case her life was lost via suicide.

In 2014 Duttee Chand failed an initial SRY test so the @WorldAthletics made Duttee undergo a chromosome analysis, an M.R.I. and a gynecological exam that she found mortifying. To evaluate the effects of high testosterone, the @WorldAthletics and IOC’e sex testing secondary protocol involves measuring and palpating the clitoris, vagina and labia, as well as evaluating breast size and pubic hair scored on an illustrated five-grade scale.

This measure to return to sex testing of female athletes represents a return to practices that are unethical, unscientific and discriminatory and which were widely condemned in the past by doctors, bioethics experts and international human rights organisations. Even the scientist who discovered it says the IOC should not use SRY test to determine gender of women's athletes.

There is no scientific evidence linking the SRY gene an advantage in sporting performance. No one has yet been able to find any connection between this gene and athletic performance.

Zeynep Sonmez says tournament organizers ban her from wearing Palestine-supporting pin

“I used to wear a pin. Tournaments no longer allow me to wear it. We had a discussion with the organizers because the Ukrainian flag is allowed but Palestine is not. They ultimately told us they definitely would not allow it ... I can use the vibration dampener and they can't object to that. That's why I put the watermelon symbol on my racket”

🚨The British media claimed that Palestine Action may have damaged the planes at RAF Brize Norton "beyond repair", potentially costing the UK over £30mn.

Flight tracking data now shows the ZZ338 aircraft, one of the two targeted by Palestine Action, is already back in the air.

If an 11-year-old Israeli influencer—a girl who delivered food and toys to displaced children—had been killed, the Empire State Building would be lit up for her. Her face would be on the homepage of every US news outlet. Her name would be on the tongue of every US politician.

A new terrifying update from the Palestinian Football Association (@PSFA28):

Israeli forces have killed at least 704 athletes, including 400 football players in Gaza since October 2023.

94 of them are children.

FIFA still allows Israel to be part of international football.
