IOC fairness in women’s sports policy makes sports less fair for women: Thousands of female athletes around the world are going to have their access to high-level sport limited because of a witch hunt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. xtramagazine.com/culture/olympi…

Imane Khelif is biologically female, was born and registered as female, and has lived and boxed as a female. She also holds a female passport. JK Rowling and Pierre Poilievre just called her a man. Remember last week when RW Influencers were trying to tell us how "classy" Poilievre was?

The only trans athlete photo Ben Fordham Live could find was a trans athlete who came dead last at the Olympic Games. Trans women athletes have not won a single one of the 7,500 Olympic medals that were awarded since 2003, when trans women were first eligible to compete at the Olympic Games. Not even a solitary relay or team bronze medal has been won by a trans woman athlete. If Kirsty and the International Olympic Committee genuinely prioritised protecting women's sports, they would allocate 50% of Olympic funding to women's sports and dedicate more resources to investigating doping & sex offenders, which is a widespread issue in female sports. youtu.be/B8CzqxhZk7I?si…

This is a huge win for women's sport. The International Olympic Committee has banned trans-athletes from female events. The rule comes into effect for the 2028 Olympic games. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

they were forced off of prime beachfront which they relied on for fishing, and that area is now full of single family homes worth millions. They got a small parcel of land back next to a bridge and the current residents in those homes are FURIOUS that they built towers

SOGI isn’t “woke ideology.” It stands for Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity and it’s an anti-bullying resource used in BC schools. It doesn’t change curriculum or “teach kids to be anything.” It helps teachers stop harassment and protect vulnerable students. And then people wonder why teen mental-health struggles are rising when politicians spread fear about kids who are already struggling with their identity.

Repeal SOGI. Get woke ideology out of our schools. Sign the Petition: findlay4bc.ca/petition_repea…

In their wildest fantasies about Hunter Biden, Republicans didn't come up with anything half as corrupt as what Kushner is doing in front of our eyes every day. He's handling US foreign policy at the exact same time that he's taking billions from the Saudi dictator.
