This is the modern day slavery of women đŸ‘‡đŸŒ& the west doesn’t seem to care. In fact in the west, alarmingly, women’s rights, sporting opportunities & safeguards are constantly under attack. It’s as if women made great steps forward now we’re being punished for those gains?

Men are herding those faceless black two-legged creatures from one place to another, like grazing sheep. I think — if the world moves forward a hundred years in civilization, people of the future will be shocked to see this scene. They will find it hard to believe that once upon

Amherst: What about empathy for the women who have trained their entire lives? Or is empathy just for men? How is biology misinformation? People are excluded in sports all the time. There are weight, age and yes — sex categories. Empathy has nothing to do with anything.

This is not a victory but a sad day and a huge set back for female athletes around the globe. I hope to live in a time when female athletes participate in team sports & organizations where they are not forced to compete against men. Where women are not punished, silenced, or

'Club' athletes have a particular sort of knowledge. All of them/us said: 1) Chepng’etich: Nah, that's not right. 2) Lia Thomas: Nah, that's not right. 3) Imane Khelif: Nah, that's not right. Some other people just haven't got much of a clue about sport.

“that, really, is the absurdity laid bare. A tribunal now spends days asking ‘what if’ and ‘how else’, when the country’s highest court has already said what ‘woman’ means. For the nurses, the question isn’t theoretical - it’s the reality of undressing beside a man.”

Bethany Hutchison, a Darlington nurse, knocked it out of the park under cross-examination today. Here, she identifies (if you will) the way in which the concept of truthfulness has been fatally corroded by the enforcement of the idea that ‘people are who they say they are.’ 1/2

So apparently women don’t face discrimination. Women’s rights are not ‘populist posturing’. We deserve access to single sex spaces. Remember this when the @WiltsLibDems ask for your vote. @KemiBadenoch @ThePosieParker

It’s imperative we try to engage with young girls & find out what would keep them doing sport & fitness. We used to lose girls at 14/15, it’s now closer to 11, it’s so vital for their mental health at a time of high anxiety & body issues. It’s important we keep them involved

A young girl’s dream of reaching the Olympics begins on her local field, in school sports and community competitions. But when policies allow biological males to compete against girls, the dreams of girls are shattered, discouraging our brightest female talent from even trying.

No one should get to pick which category of sport they stand the best chance of success in. Every single one of us should compete where the reality of the body we have fits the criteria. Sex/age/weight/para cat. Trans ID’ing males do not get to pick. It’s not their human right

Translation: When males with trans identities are excluded from female sport they pretend they are excluded from sport altogether. They don't care about discrimination, exclusion & long-lasting harm for women and girls. Note: Sex categories are based on sex. Not gender.
