Dr. Debra Soh - SEXTINCTION is here
Banning transgender women from female events at the Olympics isn’t going far enough. All mediocre men who competed in women’s sports should be stripped of the medals & opportunities they stole.

At the 2016 Olympics, three men with DSDs took the top medals in the 800M Women's event. Lynsey Sharp, who placed sixth, explained in tears that it had been "difficult" to compete against Caster Semenya. The real winners: 🥇Melissa Bishop 🥈Joanna Jozwik 🥉Lynsey Sharp

@reduxx Here's the moment when three intersex males took gold, silver, and bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics Women's 800M event. Not a single woman placed in their own category.

This is so obvious, it baffles me that it didn’t bring the whole clown show to a screeching halt in 2016. How did it take another 10 years?

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.

I submitted this response to Mr Murphy's article. It was not published. Sir, Conor Murphy writes that words are important yet relies on vague terms such as ‘culture’ and ‘differences’ to avoid describing specific, immutable characteristics like race, sex, ethnicity, and disability, before conflating these attributes with self-declared identities. These are fundamentally different things: one is objective, the other subjective. (Why do we tell others what they should call themselves? Tuesday, March 24) Comparing the use of nicknames to using incorrect sex-based pronouns is unconvincing. If Patrick wishes to be called Paudie, this is simply a diminutive; it does not alter any underlying fact about him, nor require others to address him as anything other than he is: male. If some in his classroom take issue with the phrase ‘boys and girls’, straightforward alternatives such as ‘everyone’ or ‘students’ includes all without distorting language. Respect matters, but so too do clarity and coherence, especially in education. Privileging one person’s subjective feelings over another’s understanding of reality is a real tension that he fails to address. Yours Sandra Adams

@CreeAnt @BBCWomensHour The irony. This is what misogyny looks and sounds like - asking biological men to opine at length on women's lived experience of being our own sex. What a bizarre decision. And why do we keep having to explain it all really s l o w l y ?

Hi @BBCWomensHour Today’s piece on misogyny was a classic example of misogyny. You interviewed a cross dressing man on a topic about which he is not qualified to speak. Why didn’t any woman involved with WH call it out for what it really was? You’re cowardice shames you all

How on earth is killing thousands of innocent civilians and children ever justified? How would you have felt if the UK government had bombed Ireland into oblivion and justified it because of the IRA bombings?
Graham Linehan@Glinner

@JamesMelville October 7th is plenty justification. Don't commit atrocities if you don't want a response.

@esjesjesj One of the ways we know that misogynistic men don’t believe TWAW is because you only ever have sympathy for the man and never the woman. You’re transparent, pun intended.

You have little to worry you if this is whats making you mad. How many SEN kids are stuck without a class where you live, how many homeless? Find something more constructive to do while the taxpayer pays you.

Today I wrote formally to the Board of the Zoological Society of Ireland, which operates Dublin Zoo, regarding their Mother’s Day promotion. Many families contacted me expressing genuine offence at the decision to present a drag performance character as the public face of a celebration dedicated to mothers. Mother’s Day is about recognising mothers. The women who carried children, raised families and made sacrifices across a lifetime. Dublin Zoo is one of Ireland’s most prominent family institutions. Decisions taken by such institutions carry cultural meaning and responsibility. In media coverage the zoo claimed this performer represents a “light-hearted celebration of Irish culture”. I have asked the Board to explain exactly what they mean by that and how this decision was reached. I have also asked whether the Board accepts that many mothers and families feel this promotion trivialised motherhood and whether an apology is now warranted. Public institutions must be prepared to explain their decisions when those decisions cause legitimate public concern. The full letter has been sent to the Board of the Zoological Society of Ireland today. #MothersDay #RespectMothers #Ireland #Family
