@salltweets Twenty years ago Tracy Austin told me that when she was ranked number one in the world, her brother Brian, ranked about 120 among men, always beat her love and love when they played and he was playing to win.

Dr Colm Henry should be a very busy man managing clinical governance in the HSE. While it has been reported that “lengthy delays in A&E cause 48 deaths a week” Dr Henry finds time to visit Iceland to investigate trans healthcare there. While Finland & Sweden conducted

@FinalTelegraph I was supposed to be an object lesson to other women. I've seen more than one person say on X, 'd'you want what happened to JK Rowling to happen to you?' This is a movement that relies on intimidation. The only possible response is to refuse to be intimidated. That said, I've

Great letter in today's Sunday Indo @TheSundayIndo "Children do not have the capacity to consent to puberty blockers and opposite sex hormones that will affect their fertility and health for life."

We are using the word female more because people like Sinéad have changed the word woman to include men and we want to be specific.

@EliErlick Men have been stealing from women for years, why make them stop now? Is that really your argument?

I read as much as I could stomach of this article, and it's littered with; 1. Cultural relativism; "Who are we as westeners to judge what they do in non-western countries?" 2. Minimization; "Not all FGM is the same. Some forms are purely aesthetic and not very invasive." 3.

A male can never experience womanhood but apparently this makes them more woman. You do not go through anything a woman goes through that makes her a woman, only a man's idea of it.

@LadiesFootball Keeping males out of female sports is also a sure fired way of reducing injuries to women and girls.

Actually, the Dutch, who started this whole atrocious experiment, did precisely that. In 1988, they published a follow-up study of the first wave of adult men to embark on the “sex reassignment” experiment. The men said they had no regrets, but were unhappy with the cosmetic

@cooper_m Is it “kind” to tell children they can change sex when they can’t. Is it “kind” to harm children with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Is it “kind” to potentially leave children infertile or without sexual function? Is it “kind” to gaslight other children into

Ruth forgetting the baying mob that tried to silence women at LWS Dublin? The police cordon we needed. People have spoken out for women despite their fears, not because they don't have them. People, especially women, face being ostracized and worse for their ordinary views.

@FondOfBeetles Where can we see the conclusions of the ethics committee?

Is this guy really asking me if I've condemned coaches that have raped athletes? I wrote a whole book about coaches abusing athletes in 2008 before anyone talked about it. I was a big part of getting the 80s national team gymnastics coach banned from the sport for sexually

For Irish people who are interested in this topic, here’s one to read and bookmark. A comprehensive study of the treatment of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria. @CarrollJennifer Ireland please take note. The US recognises the irreversible damage being caused by

Laoise de Brún was invited to speak by the ECR parliamentary group as country expert on surrogacy, as Ireland has just adopted a new legislative framework which attempts to normalise surrogacy by banning commercial surrogacy in Ireland, permitting it abroad and allowing for

Maith thú Laoise. Is iad seo na comhrá is tabhachtaí.

@courtsnewsIRL What consideration was given to the child in this scenario. There are only 2 sexes - male and female. The law must respect and reflect biological reality. Only men produce sperm. Only women can be mothers.

Spare me any praise of the IOC for recognising the bleeding obvious. Its decade of dithering enabled one of sport’s worst scandals. Column

The service to truth, reality and women's sport done by Emma cannot be overstated.
