If only @FIFAcom could tell who’s a woman and who’s a man. But its staff still insist it’s complicated. Meanwhile players who withdrew from the WAFCON rather than face sex screening (prob have the same male DSD as Semenya) are playing in women’s professional soccer teams in the USA. Men taking women’s pro football careers for themselves. And putting other players at greater risk of injury.

Every women’s team will have to include at least two women as staff members on the bench — with one of them being either the head coach or assistant coach — as part of new regulations FIFA has agreed to introduce. This will be implemented at all women’s FIFA competitions, both at country and club level, effective immediately. The first tournament under the rule will be the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland in September. More from @Dan_Sheldon_ ⬇️ 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71306…

I was in court last week, to hear the judge's sentencing remarks, and psychiatric report, on Vivienne Taylor, a dangerous stalker of the female surgeon that castrated him. How many more monsters will gender luncacy help create before it is stopped? (Article in reply)

@adamndsmith @dinahbrand2 @SVPhillimore @Sorelle_Arduino Taking testosterone would be doping, Adam. It’s against WADA and UKAD rules. It’s also very risky - most of the East German women given testosterone had serious health problems as a result. Nothing to do with being girly.

One TERF complained that, theoretically, a trans person could take part in this course. As a result, the entire course has been shut down. Just another example of transphobia harming women

My dear client. He sat beside me when I told his story to the Inquiry. I feel numb at his passing. He suffered so much and endured tremendous grief. He was stoical but marked by tragedy. Those malignants who put him through all this are beneath contempt.

#PostOfficeScandal #ParmodKalia #StateSponsoredCrime The Quiet Dignity of Parmod Kalia (6th December 1958 –13th March, 2026) Parmod Kalia was a trained Banker. An Associate of the Institute of Bankers. Assistant Bank Manager. Treasurer of an International Charity. A man for whom every penny had to be accounted for. He chose the Orpington Post Office for the quiet life. Stable hours. Time with his wife and four children. The Horizon system repaid that modest ambition with a phantom shortfall of £22,202.01. Post Office Ltd told him he was "the only one." The National Federation of SubPostmasters — his supposed protector — told him to repay the money and fabricate a story. He borrowed £22,000 from his Mother's life savings. Post Office pocketed every penny. Then they prosecuted him anyway. 6 months in Prison. 14 years in hiding. 3 occasions where he nearly took his own life. A 17 year estrangement from his son Mahesh, who was just 17 when they took his father away. Children who grew up asking: "Dad, have you taken the money?" His own children. Asking if their father was a thief. Because the State told them he was. His conviction was finally quashed in May 2021. He should have spent his remaining years in peace, rebuilding what was stolen. Instead, the Post Office unleashed elite City law firms to fight tooth and claw over every penny piece of his Redress. They challenged causation. They delayed. They low-balled. They rejected his interim claim of £100,000 on "public interest grounds." Highly paid lawyers — billing more per hour than Parmod earned in a week — deployed forensic cruelty against a traumatised, terminally declining man whose only demand was that someone look him in the eye and say: 'we did this to you, and we are sorry'. He tragically died on March 13, 2026. Still fighting. Still waiting. Still uncompensated. Still dignified. The inhumane savages masquerading as lawyers who wage this war of attrition against Parmod, his family and hundreds like him will simply move on, adjust their cufflinks, sip their flat whites, and open the next file. Another victim. Another billable hour. This obscene tragedy simply cannot continue. The time is long overdue for the Prime Minister to intervene — to show some leadership, some backbone, and some basic human decency. These are not commercial disputes. These are traumatised victims of a State-sponsored crime. The lawyers instructed to handle their redress must be ordered — ordered — to show compassion, humanity, and urgency. Every day of delay is another day stolen. And as Parmod Kalia's demise has proved, the days run out. Rest now, Parmod. The truth outlived them all. The shame belongs to those who made you wait. @Keir_Starmer @darrenpjones @biztradegovuk @AGinsight @liambyrnemp @commonsBTC @RachelReevesMP @DavidDavisMP @kevinhollinrake @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @SeemaMisra_OBE @edwardhenry1 @BBCEmmaSimpson @nickwallis @Karlfl @marksweney @hrw @Cyclefree2 @DanNeidle @SkyNewsAdele @BBCBreakfast @ElCShaikh @VarchasPatel @Pinsent_Masons @hmtreasury @HouseofCommons @premnsikka @TimBushLondon @UKHouseofLords @TjX50 @Malcolm22206844 @NFSP @postoffice @PostOfficeNews @NFSP_UK @voiceofthepm @NigelRailton

This post is only for my few followers who still believe I am an unkind bigot. If you can watch this 1m 9 sec speech and still say you support the idea that men can be women, you are truly lost. Morally, ethically, intellectually… Young mum was locked in the same cell as her rapist. What is wrong with you?

@BettsCaro @anne_joseypye I think some of these people honestly believe that having the protected characteristic of gender reassignment means being treated as the other sex. After all, they’ve been told that by campaign groups and the EHRC for years. He can’t square the FWS judgment with that.

Lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre policy dude standing in front of Naomi Cunningham and claiming that the UK Supreme Court judges *didn’t think things through properly* 🤦‍♀️
Tribunal Tweets@tribunaltweets

PM: One point yes - it's not clear to me, how we then apply the Equality Act or a policy rather, so as to avoid breaching the Equality Act, when we apply on the ground NC: You don't think the Supreme Court covered that? PM: No I don't.

FIFA have ruled that all national teams and clubs competing in its women’s competitions must have a female head coach or assistant. Only 12 managers at 2023 World Cup were women. Seven of those countries now managed by men. telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

I completely agree HOWEVER the vast majority of excellent palliative care is provided not in hospices/ specialist services but in homes by amazing DISTRICT NURSES, the unsung sheros here. yet their numbers have been decimated and working arrangements trashed. RESTORE THE DNs.

I am of two minds: 1. It’s sad that this is now what artists have to do to get their work seen 2. What a brilliant, creative, and joyful piece of content this artist created that also got his painting seen

Today is 3 years since Let Women Speak Melbourne. @ThePosieParker came to Melbourne and highlighted the dangers of Gender Ideology. It was my first ever rally. My life changed in ways I never dreamed possible. My inlaw family cut me off. The greyhound rescue I founded forced me to resign. Some friends cut me off. On the bright side, I have gained an amazing group of women I call friends from all over Australia. I have travelled around Australia speaking up for women's rights. Supporting women who are in the courts fighting for women's rights. I am proud to know what a woman is. Know what reality is. I am so grateful I haven't joined the gender cult. Every week I hit the streets of Melbourne with @MsCarriggofreal. We are seeing how much the public have woken up to the dangers of men in women's spaces. We just need our politicians to wake up. #streetactionvictoria #womensrightsarehumanrightstoo
