Defending the rights of lesbians to assert our political, sexual, and bodily boundaries
Only biological female athletes, whose gender will be determined by a one-time gene-screening test, will be eligible to take part in female category events at Olympic Games from now on, the International Olympic Committee said reut.rs/4uRzw6s
BREAKING 🚨 The IOC has officially banned males (including those who are trans-identified) from the female sports category. It's a perfect time to watch our video on the sex screening process in collaboration with @FondOfBeetles, @BrowngaGreg, @runthinkwrite, @Scienceofsport!
Transgender women athletes cannot participate in female Olympic events, the International Olympic Committee said on Thursday, as the committee announced a new policy limiting eligibility for female events to people assigned female at birth. The policy will begin for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. abcnews.visitlink.me/Swxq9I
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.
“We’ve been forced to have males who identify as lesbians in the lesbian community. There’s been no consultation. This is what the Australian Human Rights Commission are expecting us to accept, that males can be lesbians. And we say no.”

We’re going to be on Radio Sussex at 8am today talking about the harassment we’ve received. Multiple venues have cancelled our yoga classes for traumatised women.

We’ve written to @POLITICOEurope regarding their article, which frames gender-critical positions as a right-wing project imported from the US and now arriving in Brussels. This is inaccurate and extraordinarily one-sided. It ignores and misrepresents the many contributions of feminists, women’s rights advocates, lesbian and gay activists, as well as parents, clinicians, teachers, detransitioners, conservatives, Christians and former leftists across Europe who have been raising concerns for years. We’re happy to engage and set the record straight.
