Tut tut, @Hobbycraft, this is unlawful discrimination. Your staff have no business refusing customers because of their political views and your managers need to leave their personal issues at home. Better get the lawyers on this one or apologise!

@Hobbycraft apparently bars GC people from its shops. I was in the #Dundee store with my partner today. Staff member wore a badge reading ‘no terfs no tories’ as part of her uniform. We confronted the badge. We got chucked out for doing so.

There is still so much to do around the world. Boxing may have introduced sex testing but not all countries are adhering to rules. Women continue to be beaten by male fists.

🚹Biologically male Olympic boxer Lin Yu-Ting has returned to the ring after being cleared to fight women at Taiwan’s National Games without a sex test. Yesterday, his teenage rival abandoned the match in under 2 minutes, fearing for her safety. https://t.co/mRXfQsWvgh

A handful of activist Lords have no business undermining an independent regulator's guidance on the Supreme Court ruling. That judgment didn’t make new law, it clarified it. Overturning it would mean rewriting the 2010 Equality Act. Women’s single-sex spaces are protected and

Effectively Semenya’s argument seems to be ‘I can’t help the fact that I was born me so it’s mean not to let compete in the female category’. https://t.co/LliyjqYqa4

"No trans athlete has EVER been excluded from sport. They've just been asked to compete where it's fair" This is fantastic. @sharrond62 brilliantly deals with a trans activist who heckled her at the Conservative Party Conference. Calm. Confident. Correct. Well said SharronđŸ”„

'Sport by sport', 'case by case', 'district by district' are all false bases for determining eligibility, because biological facts do not vary by sport/case/district. They vary on the basis of sex. Either TWAW and all should be allowed in female sport, or TWAM, and all

What is going on in sport? - Sports councils in denial - Many sports have changed, but not all - Scotland & Wales lagging behind - Precision sports still a problem - Two-tier policies - Men are flouting the rules - Initiatives for women won’t say no to men - Facilities

Why are we here? EIGHT schools forfeit, but the people in charge keep supporting ONE boy at the expense of ALL girls. Girls mean less. There is no other way to interpret this.

Eighth CA girls’ volleyball team forfeits instead of facing Jurupa Valley’s male player, AB Hernandez. Jurupa Valley’s girls are seeing their season derailed as the school prioritizes one male over its female athletes.

Reminder that at the 1996 Olympics, 928 women athletes were surveyed and 82% said they would like sex testing to continue to protect the female category. Despite this, @iocmedia discontinued gender testing in 1999 ignoring the clear majority opinion of the women affected.

Those who campaigned to remove sex testing (once in a lifetime cheek swab) enabling XY DSD athletes with androgenisation at puberty and male transgender athletes to compete in female sport against the wishes of elite female athletes bear the responsibility for this. 1/

I am really am speechless. It’s painful to realize @WorldAthletics leadership knew all along that XY-DSD was a HUGE PROBLEM (50-60 of these men in women’s #track!) and yet let this go on for so long. ALSO the flagrant double standard is a punch to the gut. đŸ‘‰đŸŒInjustice to men = 1
