@hecheateddotorg@CiaraKille13vl@finngalkn I was answering the claim that trans men cannot beat the weakest cis man in any sport. Clearly this is not the case- these men were better than around 231 men (77 teams of 3). Not weak or untrained either, it's a well attended Iron Man event-3000 participants all up.
@hecheateddotorg@CiaraKille13vl@finngalkn Yes, the team category is a relay. There are relay teams in most triathlons and in ultra marathon swimming and running too. They came 3rd out of 80 teams of men. You can't tell me it's not serious when you're all freaking out about parkrun- it's far more competitive than that.
@CiaraKille13vl@finngalkn A team of trans men came 3rd out of 80 teams in a major team IronMan. So that's 231 other Iron Man male athletes they were stronger than- so hardly thde "weakest" men.

@ArtistAffame Wise choice. Less people either walking past or driving past your house to park. Also less street traffic noise. Hope your new neighbours are lovely.
I need people to understand, AI can't read, it can't understand your question. It uses pattern recognition. If you're using it for research, its not research, its selective and biased results based on pattern matching, if there's no pattern it fills the blanks with false info.
@jan_murray No, it's about the construction of gender. Under patriarchy the private domain is seen simultaneously as where women belong but also where men keep their property- which women were framed as. So private violence against women was framed as men exerting control over property
@speakoutsister There was never a picket line they didn't cross so the concept of solidarity is quite alien to them. How many boycotts on that department store are they up to now- 15, 16, 63?
@salltweets Sexual orientation was also included in the 2013 amendments. So are you saying lesbians aren't women? Probably given you also wanted those protections stuck down in your legal case. Or are you willing to acknowledge some women can be discriminated against in multiple ways?
@luke_pies@DolphinsAUS Zac SC and Bailey Lello are breaststrokers. We have young Henry Allan in back but as yet he hasn't sorted starts/turns so he ends up in wash. Interested to see how he fares over 100 this morning cos Isaac Cooper is not that guy (but I'd love him to prove me wrong).
@luke_pies@DolphinsAUS 5 golds is beyond decent. Neither Iona or Sienna are 50 specialists so imo they stepped up to get silver when we needed them to. We've had a hole in breaststroke for a while now, it's good to see Sienna coming along nicely & Sam arriving. The big gaping hole is men's backstroke.
4 women have been killed in 3 days by male violence.
This is a national emergency
42 women this year.
227 women have been killed since January 2024
More than all Australians killed by one punch, terrorism, sharks, home invasions, knife, arson, and machete attacks combined
@Al3437425851812@daniellismore@EHRC Where I live they're campaigning for a political party which says women lie about dv & want to slash child support & police resources for dv. They spend a lot of time telling lesbians they're men. They openly say "there's no such thing as trans people". So they lied to you.
@ladysirius1@daniellismore@EHRC Because the surgery is expensive and trans women are a very low income group on the whole. Except in the UK where it can be free- however waiting times are about 25 years for this lower income group- so they will be waiting decades.
@Sarahjdublin They're the same in Australia where they're all backing a political party which has a platform based on saying women lie about DV, that DV takes police resources away from "real crime" and to erode women's rights in family court and slash child support.
@aparachick Ultrasounds are more accurate than mammograms on dense breasts. If a mammogram detected a lump, the next step is ultrasound and needle biopsy. They've just cut to the chase.
