I’m proud @Mamamia published my opinion piece highlighting difficulties Trans Women face in elite sporting space. @KirstiMiller30 @RefJackie @beges007 @NoahRiseman @lifeafterdawn @ChardonnayM @VeritySmith19 @CassieBarber87 @JMcKMelbourne @JPMasters mamamia.com.au/trans-athlete-…

@RayAlexWilliams As a fully fledged Trans Woman who faced same dilemmas 3 decades ago you still sit on the fence & hedge your bets. I think you’re a selfish individual who wants best of both worlds. Sorry for my harshness but you’re hypocritical if you cross dress while judging Trans Women

As some have predicted, trying to repress my AGP has not worked, even with the Catholicism. It has been a constant struggle. I'm tired of battling my own desires. I want to go back to integration and crossdressing. I don't know how to square this with my faith. But I don't care anymore. Repression doesn't work. It just led to endless binge/purge cycles. I gave repression my absolute best shot. But I cannot do it anymore. AGP is a core part of me. There's obviously the sexual kinky side, which I enjoy, but there's also the side of me that just genuinely enjoys more "feminine" interests like women's fashion, makeup, beauty, skincare, etc., and wants to openly incorporate these interests into my life and how I present myself, whereas as a "conservative Catholic detrans man" those forms of expression were not available to me. I have no interest in re-transitioning via a gender identity or adopting new pronouns again or anything like that. I am firm in my knowledge of being a man. Been there done that. Neverthless, I see a future where I am free to crossdress to my heart's content and embrace my sexuality. I simply love women's clothing and fashion too much. My whole life I've loved women's clothes. I don't know why. Can't explain it. But a future deprived of that seems bleak to me. I know some of my more GC oriented followers are going to bristle at the thought of me once again bringing my fetish "out of the bedroom." But I don't really care what GCs think anymore. My once hardline GC position has somewhat softened, especially insofar as it concerns AGPs expressing themselves publicly. I don't really care if it's considered "shameful" or "perverted" by some. Moreover, I still believe in common sense. Haven't changed my mind on sports, child transition, basic reality, etc. But I feel like I am reverting back to a more "liberal" position of letting people express themselves so long as other people's rights are being protected, even if there is a degree of "ick" from male sexuality. And I've come to realize 99% of the philosophical debate around "are trans women women" is verbal dispute, like almost all philosophical debate over the meaning of words. It obviously has real-world implications that are important, but the philosophical debate itself doesn't interest me anymore. Nor do I feel myself aligned with GCs against trans as this all-encompassing civilization-ending boogeyman that sucks up all my time and energy. I've grown tired of the whole GC debate. Some will say this is now just obviously self-serving. But, again, I have stopped caring about what GCs think. Last, I want to address the accusation that I am a flip-flopping, flighty, unstable zealot who goes from one extreme thing to the next looking for an emotional crutch. Yeah, pretty much, lol. I got called out accurately. Everyone who predicted Catholicism was a temporary crutch to cope with my gender feelings can now feel vindicated. However, I do want to say that my faith beliefs were genuine. It was all genuine. It really was a struggle. It really was a beautiful journey. And I still consider myself Catholic. I still believe in God. Obviously, I don't know how to square my newfound liberal convictions with conservative Catholicism. But I will square that circle later (somehow, maybe).

They voted for a no Transphobic dickheads policy Pete @Peter_Fitz as they didn’t want one in office lol 😊

Transphobia is absolutely anti-feminist. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@KirstiMiller30 What an idiot Caitlin Jenner is. Stop making excuses for the Orange Oaf. He hates Trans people and he hates you Caitlin. No two ways about it!

This bully called Imane Khelif a man. And Imane was born with a vagina unlike dickhead here.

This is the world's greatest athlete about 5 years post operative. You can tell @Caitlyn_Jenner body is experiencing complete androgen deprivation. Laurel Hubbard broke her elbow 6 years after her gender surgery whilst attempting a lift. I ended up with -3.2 osteoporosis, transitioned athlete K Worley also broke down, and we are far from being alone. google.com/url?q=https://… Everybody needs some T. By sports forcing post operative women athletes to compete with zero T has made is unwell beyond sports. Girls get your T levels checked. google.com/url?q=https://…

Pride Cup and @proud2playinc are both exemplars within this sector, as they involve trans athletes at all levels of their organisations In contrast, ACON after dismissing an Australian transgender woman athlete who competed in women's rugby league for New South Wales. Teddy Cook addressed @CarolineLayt, expressing skepticism over her sports history with a massively dismissive attitude. Furthermore, ACON has implemented policies that prohibit post-operative women like myself from participating in female sports, while allowing non-operative and pre-operative women to compete with unregulated testosterone levels.

A shitshow Kirsti. Teddy Cook asked who wanted to do interview with ABC. I put my hand up as post-op Trans Woman. Ted said they were going with non-binary’s. I told him I played women’s origin for NSW. His reply was a dismissive “sure you did”. (Video of me playing for NSW 2007)

Touch Football Australia received a Pride in Sports Award from ACON, which facilitated the development of the Australian Touch Football Transgender Policy at their paid request. The final draft version of this policy was forwarded to me, and I was offered financial compensation by ACON to endorse it. However, I was unable to do so, as the policy effectively excluded my participation as a post-operative transgender woman while permitting non-operative transgender women to compete without being on hormone replacement therapy. There is no scientific basis for this policy, and considerations of fairness or safety appear to be absent. Furthermore, the awarding of such recognition raises questions about the appropriateness of the government funding allocated to ACON. @CarolineLayt @RoyBarwon @JohnRuddick2 outinperth.com/winners-announ…

@KirstiMiller30 That’s why they’re tough bastards lol 😄😁

@CarolineLayt And they are less sensitive to it.

Agreed Kirsti. Everyone has testosterone coursing through their veins not just males. They just have larger doses of it.

@Matt_Pinner Donald Trump

what do u call?

Testosterone needs to be degendered. Stop talking about testosterone – there’s no such thing as a ‘true sex theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@KirstiMiller30 @Tamsin151 @star_observer Further Carlotta fired back at Humphries which was good. Well done Carlotta 😊👏👏👏 youtu.be/jvY9s2skCg8

@KirstiMiller30 @Tamsin151 @star_observer Yeah he was a horror Kirsti. Most drag queens secretly want to be women but don’t have guts to follow through. It’s easier to be gay than fully & medically transitioned. I knew I was Trans aged-4 but due to society’s non-approval I tried bi, gay & non-binary before transitioning.

@star_observer Drag queens are not trans. Some trans people are drag queens, some are plumbers, and some, like me, were maximum-security prison governors. This shows their hypocrisy with policies that ban drag queens. It's bad enough when right-wing media conflates drag queens with being trans. Being trans is not a costume we wear @star_observer or can take off at the end of each day FFS @CarolineLayt Trans peeps need our own media and our own advocacy groups. I am sick of gays speaking for trans peeps.

ACON are there for the money and not the community. Keep ACON out of trans sports. @BenFordhamLive

💯Kirsti

I attended ⁦@ACONhealth⁩ ‘s Trans “inclusion” launch. As Trans Sporting pioneer was snubbed as ACON wheeled out gay sporting stars instead. Was my 55th 🎂 Well done ACON 👏 I was treated with much more respect by ⁦@MamamiaNews⁩ @kirstimiller30 mamamia.com.au/trans-athlete-…

@KirstiMiller30 It’s men still policing women Kirsti whether gay or straight. It’s horrible and it needs to stop especially considering what we achieved pre-transition as well. I mean you represented your country on the big stage. You don’t get any bigger than that!!

@CarolineLayt What's a pair of homosexuals got to do with trans sports ACON? I remember Jason Ball wanted Alex to interview me to see if I was suitable to join team Sydney FFS Who made these homsexuals the trans athletes police?

I’m happy ABC ended partnership with ACON. Yes Kirsti we’re 3rd wheels. I was gobsmacked that day as a Trans Woman State of Origin rep & pioneer. Blackwell, Roberts & co were wheeled out. I watched on from the sideline. Erased by so-called own community! ACON erased us!!
