“Disproportionately, these regulations ... have impacted athletes from the Global South. " Correct. Athletes with male DSDs from the Global South. So the athletes who benefit most from the DSD regulations are female athletes from the Global South. Good.

Love the writing of @glosswitch.bsky.social. Can't wait to hear her with Susanna Rustin and Rachel Hewitt at #FiLiA2025 'If protecting girls matters, it has to be wrestled from the hands of those who might be willing to say the words but only for their own ends'. thecritic.co.uk/reclaiming-p...

Do you only care about males with DSDs who are not white? Or do you ever spare a thought for females without DSDs who are not white and never make it to the world stage because athletes with male DSDs have taken their places/careers/medals?

📢 We're hiring! We're looking for a (female only) Children & Young Person’s Advocate to join our team and support children at risk of domestic abuse, including sexual violence and stalking within a domestic abuse context within the Thames Valley area. Apply by 27 September 👉 buff.ly/Za6DAYw

To summarise: If "trans women are women," any man can get access to the women's showers (no transition needed), any man can replace women athletes with men, and any rapist can get free access to more women, after being caught. If you tell me you don't see the problem here, you're lying. TWAM. /

People here on BlueSky are still telling me: "Trans women are women." Of course, this is objectively nonsense since the requirement for being a trans woman is that you have to be male. But here are some trans women that further prove the problem with that statement. 🧵/

'Imane Khelif has appealed to the court of arbitration for sport over World Boxing’s decision to bar the 26-year-old from its events without a preliminary genetic sex test.' No. Female boxers & women everywhere are completely over 'passport sex'. Female sport is for females only.

The trans medic was born Theodore Upton but this information will be removed from written submissions by Sandie Peggie and her chosen witnesses and experts.

Joey is a "community safety organiser". Joey is selective about who he recognises as deserving of safety.

Do you have any analysis of relations of power, value & hierarchy between different groups of people or are you just a liberal individualist? Those of us on the left have an analysis of income & wealth inequality (socioeconomic class) just as we have an analysis of sex inequality (patriarchy).

Men demanding the right to ogle women and girls undressing, never was, and never will be, a matter of "human dignity". Saying "no" to these demands, however, is.

Men are responsible for 99% of sexual offences against women and girls. It's common sense to keep all men out of women's spaces. That's all we ask. Since you opened the door: prison stats show that trans identifying men are, in fact, more predatory than the average men in prison.

Like "Shut the **** up, TERF" or "The only good TERF is a d*** TERF"? Is that kind of aggressive dehumanisation you mean?

Very pleased and proud to share a birthday with Harry Potter and his creator JK Rowling

EHRC Chair: 'told trans activists that personal attacks on her and her staff have “got to stop”.' 'While feminist campaigners had acted in a “dignified and respectful” manner, trans rights activists had made it harder for her staff to come to work in safety.' archive.is/2025.06.11-2...

Women and girls' humanity is overlooked across the world (and has been throughout history) because of their sex.

@quaker.org.uk is there a place still in Quakers for those of us who consider Supreme Court ruling in ForWomen Scotland case to be legally & morally correct? I have experienced years of harassment for this. Please advise as seriously considering whether to give up my membership

16th April 2025, the day women in the UK got their rights back.

Today's strip is about the law:

I wonder how many public boards in Scotland are going to have to make changes now...

No-one has lost anything that was rightfully theirs as a result of today's Supreme Court judgement. Not rights Not reputation. Nothing.

"This judgment must be read by every member of the Labour govt..sent to civil servants, sports bodies, NHS trusts & every HR department in the land. The capture of our national institutions by this misogynist ideology is not over, but the end is in sight" www.thetimes.com/article/c3a0...

Thanks to all the women who came to the launch of the @filiacharity.bsky.social TU Women's Network. Great contributions and great questions - even some respectful disagreement... Women make unions stronger. Join the network www.filia.org.uk/latest-news/... #UnionsForWomen

Do I hate men? #notallmen But is it really so ridiculous and dangerous for women to do so considering all that Hollie goes on to list? There is no moral equivalence when the balance of power is so skewed. It is not the same thing.

Still opposing women's erasure by the men who pretend to be us. #terflife www.wildwomynworkshop.com

Who is reporting people having abortions in Malta to the police? DOCTORS. Reminds me of meeting with CEDAW, who didn't believe us that N Irish doctors would report women. We were right, they were wrong, and we activists are the ones following "first do no harm." timesofmalta.com/article/most...

'Current evidence does not suggest there is a categorical athletic advantage for transgender female athletes when compared with ... female athletes'. Completely false @law.ucla.edu The cited paper compared recreational overweight TW to elite females. williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications...

Female colleagues should never be expected to share changing facilities with male colleagues regardless of how they identify. It's wrong, and unlawful. But that's what happened to Sandie Peggie, a nurse working for NHS Fife. Today's Observer column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just posting this NHS page on Turner Syndrome - it is a female specific DSD. Myself and my friends with this DSD are not gotchas www.nhs.uk/conditions/t...

Cricket and Afghanistan: not normally subjects of interest to me. But the treatment of women is. Why England should not play cricket against Afghanistan - www1.politicalbetting.com

Agree. To do anything else would be unconscionable. #ItsJustNotCricket

The ICC must boycott the men's Afghan team. With Afghan women stripped of their basic human rights #ItsJustNotCricket Take action 🏏 brightonsisters.wordpress.com/action-four/ #RespectWomen #EndGenderAparthied

Standing with Afghan women while their rights are taken from them. Their struggle is our struggle. "I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own" Lorde #NoToTaliban #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #womenlifefreedom @liverbirdxx.bsky.social

Scottish Government KC says straight males who ID as trans without a GRC are straight but with a GRC are lesbians. Absurd. For Women Scotland KC says problem with the Scottish Government’s approach is not that they downgrade women's rights but that they ignore them. 💯 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In 1999, the UN designated 25 Nov as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in their memory. The day now marks the start of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. 2/2

The mother of Naama Levy (she of the bloodied pyjamas being dragged into Gaza) joins other mothers sitting in white outside government institutions in Israel.

I know "What it inevitably results in are women and girls who are primed for assault because people are going to want to check their private parts" is just the standard script, but I can't get over how much this *exactly* the kind of gaslighting crap abusive men would (and do) say

Dominique Pelicot's alleged crimes first came to light when he was caught #upskirting women at a shopping centre. Also known as a #creepshot, the act of taking a photo under a person's clothing without their permission, is a crime. Safety I Support I Advocacy I Empowerment
