@profilemoi @Glinner Because somehow it became a black mark to say men who would like to be women are not women. And few ppl are brave enough to be a pariah.

It's so rare that it should be pointed out: a woman coming into a vital role and immediately standing up for women. Love to see it.

She was elected to lead the Olympics as its first female president. Her first major decision: ban transgender women from women's events. Kirsty Coventry, a two time Olympic gold medalist in swimming from Zimbabwe, became the first woman to lead the International Olympic Committee in its 132 year history when she was elected president in June 2025. One of her first major decisions was launching a review of female category protections in Olympic sport. On March 26, 2026, the IOC Executive Board approved a 10 page policy banning transgender women from all female events at the Olympics starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Eligibility is now limited to biological females verified by a one time SRY gene screening. Athletes who test negative are permanently eligible. The policy also restricts most athletes with differences in sex development, including two time Olympic champion Caster Semenya. Coventry said the policy protects fairness, safety, and integrity, adding that "even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat."

Imane Khelif is not trans. Even if she were she wouldn't deserve the hate she gets, but Khelif is not trans. This has been definitively proven. These people do not care about women, they care about inciting hatred & profiting off of it.

It's such an obvious performative ritual. "If I mention Harry Potter, I must include a slight against the author, otherwise I will be damned". No explanation of which positions you are or aren't supporting. Just "I, too, know to say the thing"

Andrew Garfield says he recently watched the Harry Potter films for the first time, but added: โwe shouldnโt be putting money in the pocket of inhumane legislation right now through she that shall remain nameless.โ

I will never forget the way she bullied and harassed Imane Khelif, who isn't even trans. Rowling is a person full of hate and bitterness.

J.K. Rowling says HBO's #HarryPotter series "is going to be incredible" after the first trailer drops: "Iโm so happy with it." Twenty minutes earlier, Rowling celebrated the Olympics' decision to ban transgender women from competing in womenโs events by writing: โTodayโs ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but Iโll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.โ Rowling was referring to the Olympics decision to allow Algeriaโs Imane Khelif to compete in the womenโs boxing competition at the Paris 2024 summer games, one year after Khelif was disqualified from the Womenโs World Championships for failing a gender eligibility test due to elevated levels of testosterone in her system. Rowling denounced the Olympics at the time. Khelif was born female. variety.com/2026/tv/news/jโฆ

Bloody hell!
This just confirms what being on this platform for two years has made clear to me as a Black woman (who, btw, has never once in my entire life been mistaken for a man. And neither has my mum, sisters, daughter or any female relatives).
The vilest racists are on the 'tolerant' Left.
And the really sad/shocking/unnerving/enraging thing is that they don't get it.
They literally cannot see their own faults and failings.

@TTExulansic Gaps at the bottom are not just for ease of cleaning &cost savings. Itโs a security feature. One could have a stroke & no one would know.And yes,it makes it easier for a man to assault if he has a private stall to do it in.I hope thereโs cameras in the main part of that bathroom.
English
Ok now imagine you're a small woman, it's late and mostly deserted, and you're in this bathroom and you can't see who's standing outside the door, and you unlock the door and suddenly a man is pushing his way in and closing the door behind you, because he was entitled to camp.

Whatโs your thoughts on genderless restrooms ๐ฝ I personally donโt see the problem
English
@HilllbillyHugs @helenstaniland @bossert_l Itโs been sexed.The reason those spaces exist is because of sex.This idea that w&m are not material is pernicious & false.Eventually enough ppl will remember/realize we already had words for what theyโre now conflating with w&m,& that whatโs passed was a bunch of sexist nonsense.
English
@helenstaniland @bossert_l No but tge current and historical segregation has been gendered not sexed. You might want to get your concepts straight if your going to argue.

A big part of the problem is adults like this having lied to kids. They told boys that they were girls with the astonishing expectation that everyone would support their insane assertion. Any 'hurt and confusion' has been caused entirely by that and they *should* think about it.
Duncan Lindsay@DuncanLindsay
Can't stop thinking about how shameful and hateful this is Bending to the baying mob when this will impact just a handful of hurt and confused children plus their friends who enjoy having them there Kids suffer for adults' bigotry yet again

Women demanding access to menโs PUBLIC spaces where decisions about business and politics were being brokered and discussed is NOT THE SAME as men who are demanding access to the PRIVATE spaces where we are in states of undress.
Please stop throwing this in womenโs faces like weโre getting some kind of โcomeuppance.โ
Good men protect women from harm and donโt imply that we deserve abuse from men.

@PeterPatriot123 @sappholives83 Itโs the word for a female human being in English (along with girl, for a child).

@PeterPatriot123 @sappholives83 You render the word bigotry meaningless then. Truth is not bigotry.

@Meta428 @sappholives83 You can believe they arenโt. Itโs still transphobia, and by extension, bigotry.

Compliance is not consent.
The fact that the men who use womenโs spaces threaten, intimidate, and scare us into compliance exposes that we have never consented and this has been about the domination and abuse of women whole time.

@PeterPatriot123 @sappholives83 Theyโre not though. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ Itโs like trying to say up is down and then getting mad at ppl for refusing to go along with it.

@Meta428 @sappholives83 saying transwomen arent women is transphobia. transphobia is bigotry. objectively.
English
@PeterPatriot123 @sappholives83 Itโs not bigotry to recognize and say that men are not women.

@sappholives83 my question is how someone can be transphobic and cry over misogyny, obviously sexism is bad, but why is a bigot mad about bigotry?
