@KirstiMiller30 Are you betting nobody reads that to see if it actually says there is no advantage?

Research is showing trans girls are 19% kg for kg weaker than c_s girls and and they have less leg strength and lower endurance levels than c_s girls. Alvares & colleagues suggests that trans women can produce less force per gram of muscle than both c_sgender women & c_sgender men and combined with VO2 peak/FFM findings, possible cellular dysfunction in the muscle of trans women [Alvares et al., 2022]. An INTERNATIONAL LEVEL trans woman CYCLIST in this study demonstrated an ~15% LOSS of aerobic capacity with 3 months of GAHT & a 19-33% & 15-30% LOSS of lower and upper body strength respectively with 18 months of GAHT. That’s massive… repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/thesi… x.com/kirstimiller30…

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…

@eustacheus @writingenjoyer What's your problem? Top tip: before criticising someones English, check your capitalisation.

@writingenjoyer You know, you might think interpunctuation is optional, but I was looking for 5 minutes for the continuation of this story, until I realized you're just bad at english.

My toilet stopped working & the man they sent was answering me with completely unrelated remarks I'd be like "So it makes this noise whenever I turn on the water" and he'd be like "Yep I've been living here 23 years now" after like half an hour I said "Are you deaf" He was

@MarioNawfal You do know coco butter is a vegetable oil right?

This clip is proof that "death by misadventure" was invented because coroners needed a polite way to write "did something incredibly fucking stupid on purpose" on the report.

@Qveen_Potato Almost as if taking hormones isn't good for you.

Trans women on HRT experience hot flashes, breast development, fat redistribution, and muscle atrophy that cis men simply don't. We're physically closer to cis women than our former selves. If you actually cared about "biological reality," you'd acknowledge hormones drive these characteristics, not chromosomes. You don't check anyone's karyotype before treating them as their observed sex. Treat trans women as women (because we are) and stop being an asshole.

@StrongManGuide I'm not convinced 4 months is immediately.

My mom didn’t like the girl I was going to marry, After 4 months, we got divorced immediately. I lost: 50% of my income A dream of being a father Respect from all the family members When I ask my mother how she knew we were going to get divorced, This is what she said:

Just wondering, If you can complete a six week refit in six days, why is it a six week refit.

@IndiaWilloughby Only one of you was a Dame :)

The spark that lit the war on trans people in the UK started when I went on BBC Woman’s Hour in 2017. At the time I was an ITV Loose Woman and Channel 5 newsreader. I was invited onto WH for what I was expecting to be a regular light showbiz interview - but straight away, Jenni Murray was snotty as hell - asking “What qualifies YOU to present a show for women? Have you even read Sheila Jeffries? Should women shave their legs?” Peering like an owl over the glasses perched on the bottom of her nose. A few days later, she wrote a hit-piece double-page spread in The Times, saying I wasn’t a real woman, and all the usual terf garbage we now hear every day. Really horrible stuff. I complained - and the BBC suspended her for six months. Unthinkable now! Murray was removed from Woman’s Hour. Big story. The Right Wing press went absolutely ballistic - and from that point in early 2017, the UK ‘Gender Critical’ movement took off.

@WingsScotland Maybe Colin Beattie does their accounts?

Saw this on Facebook and it’s a damn good question. How the hell do you go bust running NCP? 😳😳

@pureMetatron Should have written "is is an Elephant" (in the room)

@pureMetatron It just means "support our thing". What the actual thing is is irrelevant.

What is the meaning of the phrase "trans rights are human rights?" Don't trans people already have rights by virtue of being human like everyone else? What other right do they want that we don't already have as humans? Why the need for this slogan?

@MyArrse don't you mean 'for all politicians' ?

Bad news for Reform UK in Wales: New Law to make it illegal to lie in Welsh elections is passed in Senedd. It is now a criminal offence in Wales to make false or misleading statements as an election candidate. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@mar2vickers @WalkAlanWalk @WingsScotland 1 in 300,000 vs 1 in 326? :0 like 921 x more likely?

@WalkAlanWalk @WingsScotland There are now more encarcerated transwomen sex offenders than women sex offenders in the UK. Not per capita, actually more as a hard number. From a supposed population of 49,000 (ONS Census), as opposed to 30 million women, there are around 150 transwomen, to just under 100 women

Oh look, the thing that never happens didn’t happen again.

@CalaiDavis @tadgh_dc Nobodys holding up a sighn saying 'Straight men never hurt children'

@tadgh_dc Ignore you do the millions of straight men who hurt children. 🤷🏽‍♂️ You know like yall did with Prince Anders.

@Richard56370536 @tadgh_dc tell us you don't know what words like "never" mean, I guess you may struggle with "no" as well.

@tadgh_dc Having to dig back 13years to find one solitary case shows the argument is desperate and anecdotal

@AlexandrAllen @tadgh_dc Read them all?

@tadgh_dc Weird because no drag queen or trans person was in the Epstein files, but a lot of straight men are….

@clairlemon Hoping to specalise in medical imaging?

@JohnSmytheInves one has to assume that dick has read it if he knows whether it's of interest.

It should be of interest to anyone that actually cares that things are done properly. The SG itself acknowledges in documentation that the James Hamilton 'investigation' is of high interest. People like Dick are an absolute disgrace.

@dom_lucre Could you please re-write that to make it clear who was blocking the road and who was trying to provide aid.

@salltweets Well there's a chap that dosn't know anything about boxing. 17 distinct weight categories, starting at 105 lbs classes including Flyweight (112 lbs), Lightweight (135 lbs), Welterweight (147 lbs), Middleweight (160 lbs), and Heavyweight ( lbs).

Q: If a skinny man can be accommodated in boxing, why can’t a man wearing a dress be accommodated in sports? A: He can. He can be accommodated in the men’s category. It’s literally that simple.
