The new Olympic rule bans only trans women from women’s events; trans men aren’t mentioned at all. If this were truly about fairness and safety, it would apply consistently. Targeting one specific group raises serious questions about the real motive.

As I said yesterday, slavery is still a reality in this world and women are at the coalface of it. There is no other word for this inhumanity than slavery. Yet the UN remains silent and continues to give Afghanistan seats on its committees.

If a hospital doesn't want people to visit someone about to be euthanized because they're afraid they might change their mind and in doing so lose the organs they have already called dibs on, there's a problem.

I’m a feminist and this woman deserves an apology.

Interested to see how the Brisbane 2032 Olympics are going to handle this considering the Australian Human Rights Commission is adamant that men who think they’re women are women to the point of needing pregnancy protections in law.

@jk_rowling Me neither. I edited this at the time, and thought about Carini while watching the IOC press conference today. She is owed an apology. x.com/SexMattersOrg/…

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

George Clooney has been with us for 4 days. Huge progress today. He is eating from my hand and allowing gentle touch. His skin is still bad but he is making huge progress. He has a bright future ahead of him ❤️

I wholeheartedly welcome the new IOC guidelines that secure a safe and fair female category that excludes male athletes. SRY screening is a simple, non-invasive, once-in-a-lifetime check that returns female sport to female athletes. Laurel Hubbard should not have been allowed to lift weights against women. Caster Semenya should not have been allowed to run against women. Imane Khelif should not have been allowed to punch women in the face. This is a vindication for all the brilliant women who have fought for fairness and safety for all women in sport. Thank you to Kirsty Coventry, Jane Thornton and all those in the working group for a clear, evidence based policy. @iocmedia

Fantastic news. Complete ban of males in the female category at the Olympics.

The sheer stupidity of women like this is mind-boggling. She wants so badly to elevate men over her own rights, to prove how good she is. By the way, trans-identifying men do not have a life expectancy of 40, and they are NOT the most 'at risk' people in our society. Despite media propaganda, they experience a murder rate less than half that of the general population and lower than that of real women.

There are more people enslaved today than at any point in human history and 70% of them are women and girls. Slavery did not end. It evolved. And it is still happening, everywhere.

Apparently, teenage dolphins meet up in groups to get high by passing puffer fish around a circle, biting them, and then huffing the deadly toxin. The dolphins float to the surface, completely baked. The puffers are fine-ish, just bruised and probably pissed. 🐡 I have never laughed so hard about another mammal in my life. 😂😂😂 🐬 This Cardboard Cinema reenactment wins the internet.

@aniobrien @Mountain_Tui Wow. What a deranged creep.

@Mountain_Tui Here are some examples of Richard Fanselow on my Substack. And he still wonders why I block him

Richard Fanselow wants to know why I have blocked him. Anyone with principles on the left want to tell me if they are okay with their Reddit Lord fixating on me being a lesbian? This is just FB messages. He contacts me on every platform. @Mountain_Tui

Omg omg omg I CAN’T Yall. Yaaaaaaaaallll!!!! I have ACTUAL TEARS streaming down my face I have been laughing SO HARD I choked on my own snorts so hard that I peed a little bit …totally worth it. 🤣💀🤣💀🤣💀🤣

'Boys' is the word you are looking for. Its BOYS who have been quite correctly asked to leave a female-only group.

@wekatweets @SelinaStreet100 Apparently I am one of those.

@SelinaStreet100 @BenjaminAsh11 Theresa is quite good! (except for apostrophe pedants)

If she’s in the lake then she’s the Lady of the Lake.

When threatened, the pope can spray holy venom up to fifteen feet.
