Some men and their fragile egos 🫠
I didn’t vote for the NPP, but Dilith Jayaweera, you have no right to insult Harini Amarasuriya for choosing to remain unmarried. I’d choose her over you any day. At least she didn’t stoop to cheap, racist politics like your media houses did to keep the Rajapaksas in power. #LKA

Interesting to note the language used in some manifestos particularly how the term gender & LGBTIQA+ is not mentioned at all and zero emphasis on men engaged programmes to promote gender equality or either issues central to men #PresidentialElection2024

Briefly looked at the presidential election manifestos of a few leading candidates to see the emphasis on gender equality and women's empowerment (just drawing from key areas and key activities proposed). https://t.co/fsBtpY5V6u

After all the transphobia, witch-hunting, and the despicable and unsportsmanlike disrespect shown by a handful of athletes - let THIS image be the one that stays with you: After Imane Khelif won her gold medal bout her opponent, Yang Liu of China, embraced her with a smile.

MYTHS ABOUT #ImaneKhelif (Please don't believe what the meme's tell you - and don't be the idiot that blindly reshares them) 1. Myth: Imane Khelif is a man competing in women's boxing. Truth: Khelif is a biological woman who was born female (with an XX chromosome) and has

Growing up, Imane Khalif was told she couldn't box because she's a woman Now, she's being told she can't box because she isn't "woman enough" Fighting poverty and sexism, she's now Algeria's top female boxer

Imane fought long & hard to get where she is. When she was a child she was studying, training & selling scraps to afford training! Her message for girls & women is ‘defy the odds, hold your head up with pride. Inspire future generations & be a hero’. She deserves all her flowers.

What can we learn from the #ImaneKhelif case? 1. The gender binary is inherently unstable. 2. Human bodies are extremely diverse. 3. Black/brown athletes face immense racism. 4. Transphobia has reached absurd heights. 5. Many hearts will bleed for a crying white woman.

Years ago, Serena Williams faced accusations and almost ended her career due to high hormones levels, yet she had @jk_rowling 's support. Today Rowling didn't hesitate to fuel attacks against Imane Khelif. Where do such double standards come from? #IstandWithImaneKhelif

It's high time we move beyond #genderbinaries & embrace a deeper understanding of diverse gender identities & expressions. We need to recognize & respects all experiences of gender.
Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening
