None of the Australian political parties deserve your loyalty. You/your Chill out, it’s just Twitter.

In case you were wondering, Simone Biles is still getting dragged on TikTok. I almost feel bad for her.

I accept Simone's apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She's still the greatest female gymnast of all time. A couple of things. Sports ARE inclusive by nature. Anyone can and everyone SHOULD play sports. Competition, on the other hand and by definition, is exclusive. So the idea of "competitive equity" is nonsensical. Secondly, the boys are publicly humiliating the girls. To suggest that women and girls must be silent or ignore a boy who is PUBLICLY hurting or humiliating them is wrong. You can't have any empathy and compassion for the girls if you're ignoring when young men are harming or abusing them. I am not ashamed to be a voice for the voiceless. Lastly, I agree with you that the blame is on the lawmakers and leaders at the top. Precisely why I'm suing the NCAA and support candidates who vow to stand with women. That's why I joined @realDonaldTrump at the signing of his Executive Order. I didn't see you there or championing this effort with your platform. Women's sports can't be used as an excuse for girl's to center the feelings and validation of men and boys. I welcome you to the fight to support fair sports and a future for female athletes. Little girls deserve the same shot to achieve that you had.

I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for. These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don’t have the answers or solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect. I was not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women’s sports. My objection is to be singling out children for public scrutiny in ways that feel personal and harmful. Individual athletes—especially kids—should never be the focus of criticism of a flawed system they have no control over. I believe sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition. We all want a future for sport that is fair, inclusive, and respectful. Xoxo Simone 🤍

@Peter_Fitz Yeah but you’re a small minded little man who doesn’t understand the issue. You can’t engage in discussion of anything outside of the most basic leftist talking points. So who cares what you call anything?

I call it “hate-bait” – a vicious version of clickbait. It is when you pick out with cold calculation the one target you know, you just know, will generate so much outrage and hate it will go viral while you harvest ratings, clicks, and votes. smh.com.au/sport/shame-on…

@LucyZelic @Peter_Fitz I'm so saddened by the sicko transphobe you've become, Lucy. What was it - relevance deprivation syndrome perhaps, after you left the limelight of football? The adoration of bigots & misogynists won't make it better, once the little dopamine hits from the haters you play to, goes

Hi @Peter_Fitz - I read your column. For what it’s worth, I am not interested in trading insults. I am just curious as to why your compassion never extends to the women and girls who are genuinely affected by these issues, which exceed the parameters of sport? You’ve painted a very one-sided picture that attracts vitriol from BOTH sides of the aisle. That you are impervious to the death threats and vile insults being hurled at women daily over their belief that the female sports category is worthy of protection, beggars belief. Years ago, you encouraged the public to support Brittany Higgins but what of the women whose lives, religious beliefs, or experiences with sexual assault have been woven into their reasons for wanting to preserve single-sex spaces? The lesbians, for example, who are accused of being “transphobic” and having a “genital preference” just because they are same-sex attracted? Or the gals who just want to have fun on the basketball court without having to compete against males? Some of the politicos and media types you slam in your piece also happen to be parents to young girls. Most of the mothers I speak to at the local football grounds couldn’t give a stuff about the game. I could tell them that Humpty Dumpty was the coach of the Manchester City women’s side and they’d be none the wiser. Does this make them any less qualified to care about the safety, fairness and integrity of the competition their daughters compete in? But, according to you, we’re all just a bunch of “bastards” laughing maniacally over a glass of pinot and whipping up hatred for clicks and votes. Is this what you’ve reduced women to? Rage mongers, who just need to shut the hell-up or risk the ire of our friends over at Media Watch, who won’t account for those who wish to remain anonymous, or for the bureaucrats who must protect their reputations at all costs? There’s nothing to gain for those who choose to speak out, except venom, cancellation, and the loss of their livelihood. Your wife certainly never kowtowed to men consumed by their own arrogance but the application of your double-standards to women who are experiencing similar, is quite astounding. And speaking of which, let’s cut through the real nonsense here - you know what a woman is, Pete. Come on. You married one, who gave you three beautiful children, and eloquently shared her challenging birth story and heartbreaking experiences with miscarriages. It made so many women who encountered similar, feel seen. Those pretending that biological reality doesn’t matter, or that the lines can be blurred, will always do so until it’s time to reproduce, or find the person you’d like to share a life of intimacy with. All of a sudden, we know who the women are. You’re also a former Wallaby for heaven’s sake. You were known for being a “master mauler” and given that you stand at roughly 6”7, if you decided to run full pelt at Charlotte Caslick while you were in your prime - she’d be lucky to avoid a hospital visit. Bodies play sport and the impacts of injury occur in both the elite, and amateur levels. Just ask the NSW girl who will never play again after her leg was broken in two places by a trans-identified male. Or would you like me to drag her out in public to verify this? Because no one ever won in the court of law based on their word against someone else’s have they? It’s easy to adopt an issue based on compassionate grounds when you’re sitting in the comfort of your mansion, but it’s far harder to cross paths with a rape survivor, who loved playing in her local women’s hockey team, until the presence of a male in her changing room triggered her. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I defended your right to have one when it came to Australian football but choosing to flippantly glaze over girls losing spots on teams and women being forced into silence? This one’s indefensible mate. Godspeed to you though. My door is always open to chat more.

What made the vibes of that debate so bad for Trump is that nobody's gonna want to vote for the guy who said weird shit while a pretty girl laughed at him, this has been ingrained in our psyches since middle school

It's such a minor point but I cannot stop thinking that Trump casually calling the head of Taliban "Abdul" is a perfect mix of his ignorance, racism and senility in just a single word.

Why does nobody ever mention how they put on a music festival right next to a concentration camp? Don’t people see how inhumane that is? 1 group partying with freedom 1 group caged up like cattle fighting for their lives and freedom whilst simultaneously being starved to literal death? Let’s talk about that!
