Reasonably Angry Woman 🦕💜🤍💚

Suggestion: If you support the IOC policy, why not write to Kirsty Coventry and Jane Thornton at the IOC headquarters and let them know? The policy will hold: they are women of steel who don't *need* this. But they will be receiving a lot of nasty stuff from the other side.

@speakoutsister Telling males it’s ok to go into women’s sex based spaces is the very definition of patriarchy

“The dirty little thing that they’re covering up about all this is they’re opening up the door to [men] who now have a Willy Wonka golden ticket to pretend they’re a woman, be around women, dominate women’s spaces, dominate women’s sport & dominate all kinds of things that women are involved in… taking over women’s groups” - @joerogan When I was navigating the Australian Human Rights Commission Complaint I received for alleged “gender identity discrimination” because I had refused a man - who it turns out claims to be a woman - entry to a woman only space I created I was told by the AHRC that to settle the complaint (and therefore not escalate it to federal court) I would have to allow all men who claim to be women into the platform, apologize, pay this particular man (who claims to be a woman) $20,000, attend ‘sex & gender’ education classes (which could only be re-education) and - most sinister of all, I think - moderate all content on the platform so that men who claim to be women were not offended by anything actual women were saying. Basically, not only did these men want to be in the women’s space, they wanted to control it. That is chilling. I said, “No”. GFY. 4 years later, we’re awaiting a decision from the Full Federal court. No man is a woman. gigglecrowdfund.com

When you think it can’t get any worse… Canada is now trying to euthanise people for BACK PAIN. Miriam Lancaster visited the emergency room after waking up one morning with a sore back. The doctor’s first suggestion: Euthanasia. She had no long-term health issues. They hadn’t even examined her back. And they were already offering to kill her. You heard that right. In Miriam’s own words: “I went to the Vancouver General Hospital and I was approached by a young lady doctor whose very first words out of her mouth were, ‘We would like to offer you MAiD.’” “I was taken aback. That was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to find out why I was in pain. I did not want to die.” Canada’s MAiD program was initially sold as a compassionate last resort for the terminally ill. A narrow “last resort” for those who were terminally ill, in immeasurable pain. And unable to maintain a basic quality of life. But that was never the reality. Euthanasia is state-sanctioned organ harvesting and legalised murder. A healthy 84-year-old woman with no history of illness shows up in the ER with a bad back… and the very first offer is a lethal injection. No tests. No investigations. No other options. Just “we think you should die.” Miriam, thankfully, refused. She spent a month in the hospital healing from a spinal fracture and made a full recovery. She has since even climbed a volcano and went on international hiking trips. But her story is just one of thousands, and too many like her have bowed down to the pressure of the medical “professionals” who are supposed to save and protect them. How many others weren’t given that chance? How many were worn down, pressured, or simply told this was their only option? We just saw the coercion, murder, and organ harvest of Noelia Castillo Ramos by the Spanish state. Who was stolen from her parents, gang-raped, traumatised so badly she tried to end her life, then left paraplegic. Doctors coerced her into agreeing to die. Then, when she started having second thoughts, they told her that her organs had already been “reserved.” They stopped her bed friend from seeing her on the day she was killed because they worried she’s change Noelia’s mind. In Belgium, children are being granted the ‘dignity’ to die before they’re even old enough to sign a legal contract. Paralympic athletes who simply asked for a mobility aid have had their doctor suggest euthanasia instead. We are told that assisted dying is dignified. That liberalisation is inevitable. That this is the evolution of a ‘free’ society. But where is the freedom in a society which pressures the vulnerable to die against their will? Where is the dignity in treating our fellow humans like produce on a shelf, to be discarded once they pass their ‘Best Before’ date? This was always the plan. Turn medicine into a kill switch for anyone who costs too much or complains too loud. If they’ll float MAiD to an 84-year-old with a fixable back injury in the ER, imagine what they’re whispering to the depressed, the disabled, the lonely, or the broke. Never let them talk you into believing your life is the problem. Or that death is the solution. Fight for your life. Because this isn’t healthcare. It’s a cull. And it’s accelerating.

@DavidBahry She's never said "I support being vicious and sadistic towards trans people". She's said stuff like "I support rape victims having single-sex spaces". If you find that vicious and sadistic, that's for you to try to defend.

I think the big battle in the Green Party will not be between the traditional Green activists and the left populists. That battle has been decisively won and the former vanquished and marginalised. The coming battle will be between the left populists and the left ideologues. 1/2

It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain. Please #retweet! Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year! So important to #share! 1/9

If the Minister for Women and Equalities can sit on the EHRC code for 206 days and go on Laura Kuenssberg today without one question about it, @BBC politics is not failing by accident. It is failing by design.

@ejhchess @Scienceofsport Who did I pass judgement on in my tweet?

@AngryReasonably @Scienceofsport "I'm not passing judgement on anyone" The very thought

So much wrong with this. For one, it applies a stereotype to women they're supposed to argue against. For another, and this is crucial, what these people haven't yet realized is that no matter what happens next, sport MUST have a means to identify males. They are to be excluded

@Jenny_1884 🙋🏼‍♀️

Does anyone else find Zack Polanski a bit creepy?

This utterly vile man harassed me on X for years. It’s the biggest reason it’s absolutely vital they are not allowed to change next to your daughters or cheat in women’s sport. When they tell u who they are… believe them!

@ejhchess @Scienceofsport I'm not passing judgement on anyone and I think I'm unlikely to meet an Olympic DSD athlete but I'll bear your helpful suggestion in mind if I do.

@AngryReasonably @Scienceofsport You should have these conversations directly with the people you're passing judgement on, it might be an illuminating experience

Semenya thinks women boxers should accept being punched in the head by men for sport as the cost of participation. What a pos he is. skysports.com/olympics/news/…

I find this genuinely disturbing, that women’s needs have become so dispensable.

@ejhchess @Scienceofsport Not genders, sex. Gender is irrelevant to sport.

@Scienceofsport It is curious Professor Tucker that so much energy has been expended insisting that the difference between genders is immutable and obvious and yet now parents and doctors are being told their own observations on the question are invalid

@ejhchess @Scienceofsport Or very right. Austria should have supported him as a male skier 👇🏼. youtu.be/8mgQ97TKxc8?si…

@Scienceofsport If someone brought up from birth as a girl is to be referred to straightforwardly as a male, then something is very wrong

@KProtein19 @KateBMwriting And not a moment's thought for the black women losing out because it's mainly (only?) black DSD males taking their spots. We can't assume Bishop, Joswick and Sharp were the real medallists in Rio 2016; there were three black women we never saw. And the Guardian will never see.

@KateBMwriting This racist drivel is squarely on brand for genderists. It's part trying to induce shame in those defending women's rights by invoking black pain & suffering, and part resentment that black women are women while this grp of predominantly white men are not never will be women.

The Guardian telling on themselves here. Suggesting that black women are a bit like men, if you really think about it 😳

@FiLiA_charity @UKTogetherAll x.com/i/status/20379…

We are at the HUGE @UKTogetherAll march with our gorgeous banner. We are proud to be anti-racist & anti-fascist #feminists; we are not free until ALL our Sisters are free! ⛔️No to racism ⛔️No to the far right ♀️Yes to #sisterhood & #solidarity #Together #FeministsAgainstRacism

I don’t need protection as I’m a big girl. Pointing out an antisemitic trope from the pen of a politician leading what is about to become an officially racist party isn’t me needing help but them. Jew hatred is ruining the Greens.

@sleeepysandy @jo_bartosch @charles_hart Me too. I've unfollowed. There are limits.

@jo_bartosch @charles_hart I’m gutted; they do seem to have taken sides on this. I’m aware that their line is that they disagree on some things. I’m baffled that they’ve decided that it’s okay to disagree on feminist issues like rape, instead prioritising political affiliation. open.substack.com/pub/feministsa…

I've had a look at some of the orgs on this march. I don't do guilt by association, but even I'd feel a bit squeamish about marching alongside the Islamic Human Rights Commission (look them up...), LGBTYS, the Peter Tatchell Foundation, NION & TransActual Feeling rather relieved that FiLiA withdrew my panel invite last year.
