Five years ago today and my only regret is that I didn't speak out sooner. To every girl and woman who's paid a heavy price for fighting to retain their rights and boundaries, to every person striving to halt an appalling medical experiment on minors, I salute you. We will win.
Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill

So doctors are legally obliged to reject a £15 box of chocolates from a patient as a “conflict of interest”… …but the bloke in charge of the ENTIRE BRITISH MEDICAL SYSTEM can take ~£400K from “private health sources” since coming into office… …and that’s totally okay???

Reposting this. 👇Minister confirmed in 2024 that parkrun provides no sex or “gender” data to Sport England. So they take millions of public money to “increase female participation” and have no idea what impact, if any, this money has had towards the goal it was granted for.
Sport England awarded parkrun £3M in 2018-2021, in part to increase female participation. Parkrun don’t collect sex data so cannot know how many females are participating. Please see this excellent PQ asked by @HayteratLords.👇Answer confirms no reporting of sex data.

Heartbreaking for these athletes. They lost out terribly in 2016. So pleased that the female category is rightly going to be sex protected in athletics from now on.
At the 2016 Olympics, three men with DSDs took the top medals in the 800M Women's event. Lynsey Sharp, who placed sixth, explained in tears that it had been "difficult" to compete against Caster Semenya. The real winners: 🥇Melissa Bishop 🥈Joanna Jozwik 🥉Lynsey Sharp

'Former British athlete Lynsey Sharp has told Sky News she would have won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 had today's gender testing rules been in place then.'

Sharp's comments come ahead of the Women's 800m final at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, in which British star Keely Hodgkinson is odds-on favourite.

The rewriting of history begins. Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos. I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans

The philosophy that we hold dear in World Athletics is the protection and the promotion of the integrity of women's sport. It is really important in a sport that is permanently trying to attract more women that they enter a sport believing there is no biological glass ceiling.
The World Athletics Council has approved new regulations concerning eligibility conditions to compete in the female category for world ranking competitions. The new regulations come into effect on 1 September 2025 and will be applied to the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25
