There have been 13 Olympics that have allowed trans women to compete in the female category if they meet the hormonal and physical requirements of the trans sports policy. The results over 13 Olympic games suggests trans women massively underperform in elite womens sports. Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 81,000 people have become Olympians. Out of those 81,000 Olympians a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42. There isn’t a single trans or intersex woman dominating her sport. Even Caster Semenya, the most famous, & most successful, intersex woman athlete doesn’t “dominate” her sport. Caster has won a total of two Olympic golds medals & holds no world records.  By contrast, Katie Ledecky has won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals and has broken 19 world records since 2013. Why is Katie Ledecky treated like a marvel, and Caster Semenya and transgender women are treated like mutants? There currently exists no evidence to suggest that trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over c_swomen indefinitely. More specifically, current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages  trans women do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 2 years of testosterone suppression. transresearch.org.au/post/trans-wom… youtu.be/B8CzqxhZk7I?si…

When you consider everything they did to silence Riley, you realize why so many women & girls still fear speaking up. It also deepens your respect for those that bravely do it anyway, regardless of the price. And there’s always price.

So it’s a problem when asylum seekers are fleeing actual war torn countries with no homes to go back to but we should all have a little empathy for the people crying over the 52 hour “journey” to get back from to Dubai to Ireland, safely.

"I was in London in the Blitz ... It was terrifying. Aren't Arabs terrified? Aren't Iraqis terrified? Don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die? ... What fools we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children" — Tony Benn, 1998

I’ve watched this four times A champs league winning performance 🫔 The napkin tucked in ready to go- Like Viera and his heavily vaselined shirt 🍽️The bao bun pivot was pure art - like Bergkamp scoring against Newcastle 🎮Pure room control - like Iniesta pulling the strings in the middle 🦾Laser like focus on the task in hand - Like Keane ready to go to war in the tunnel Balon d’Hors d’oeuvres 😙 👌🏼
