We all know it’s a DSD case. Now explain why it’s acceptable for a person who has gone through male puberty, and has all the advantages of a male anatomy, should be boxing in the women’s competition.

This happened to me at primary school. It made me very uncomfortable, because it seemed I was being used as a punishment for the naughty boy.
@bbcpress
When will we see a new drama following the pain of a detransitioner? Are you doing a 6 part documentary on the scandal of the Tavistock clinic? How about a soap opera featuring a trans widow?
@OvarianCancerUK
Only women can get ovarian cancer.
You are using confusing language - most normal people equate gender with sex.
The people disadvantaged by your misuse of language are the elderly, those with learning difficulties, and those for whom English is not their first language.
@UKLabour
I’m remembering all the children who have been sterilised and rendered asexual by puberty blockers, and all the young people who have had their bodies mutilated in a futile attempt to change their sex.
#R4Today
the Scottish government is about to bulldoze through a change to legislation that (a) the public don’t want (b) promotes a legal lie (c) creates a wonderful loophole for sexual predators.

@BBCWomansHour
Provide single-sex spaces for girls, get rid of mixed-sex toilets, and stop pretending that boys can magically turn into girls. You can’t expect boys to respect girls when girls are treated with such little respect by the education system.
I’m not the only person outraged by the NHS Confederation’s decision to recruit a “trans ally” to, among other things, advise NHS organisations on how to deal with dissenting voices. Well done
@SexMattersOrg
for challenging this.
@KemiBadenoch
Nobody is born in the wrong body. These kids were chemically castrated and damaged forever. There should be professional sanctions for all those who put ideology above proper concern for patients.

If you had intensely scrutinised the background to this story, you would realise that Caster is genetically and physiologically male. He has XY chromosomes and internal testes that produce testosterone. He has clearly gone through male puberty. He may wish he was a woman, but he
@stellacreasy
This is nothing to do with sexual orientation at all.
No child can change sex, and it’s wrong to pretend they can. It’s even more wrong to socially transition a child and keep it secret from their parents.
@AnnelieseDodds
Think of the poor women who thought they’d married a man, and are now supposed to pretend they’re lesbians. The spousal veto simply allows them to divorce their husband before all the documents are changed. Why do you object to this courtesy?
The Women's Equality Party has never been more needed, but our survival is under threat.
In 7 years, we have changed laws, influenced government, exposed abuse, and refused to accept a sexist status quo.
Now, WE need your help. This is make or break.
It’s been a week since this report was released, showing 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults in UK hospitals over a 4 year period. 1,000 rapes on hospital wards. Still no mention

So disappointing that any woman would believe it is OK to house men in women’s prisons, or to allow men to compete in women’s sports, or to fail to understand the importance of private spaces for women.

This a parody right? A very clever performer, demonstrating the true nature of trans activism, and why women need protection and safe spaces.

Reposting because you obviously don’t want to read the perfectly sensible replies to your first post.
No child is born in the wrong body. Children who don’t conform to gender stereotypes should be loved and cherished, not chemically castrated with puberty blockers.

@TheFineFeminine
I remember in school being made to sit next to a naughty boy to make him “good” and as a punishment for him. I should never have been used in this way. It was a horrible experience for me and I had done nothing wrong.
@GSpellchecker
We doctors get it wrong, over and over again - blood-letting, lobotomy, thalidomide, HIV contaminated products… you would think we would be more sceptical.
@DonovanCleckley
Yes, I recently wrote a blog about the lobotomy, thalidomide, infected blood, and other medical scandals - and asked why we haven’t learnt the lessons.
@pressgazette
And this is why I gave up my TV licence. The BBC isn’t fit for purpose. No human being can change sex, and transwomen are definitely male. Justin Webb is absolutely right.
@thenimadre
He is brave, a good man, and very clever to voice his concerns on live TV so that the BBC couldn't censor his comments. We all know there is a problem when the IOC refuses to test for sex and instead chooses to "believe" a passport.

Thank you for standing firm on this. We know you will be subjected to vile abuse, but it’s important to defend fairness and justice for women and girls. ❤️

Shame on you. Males should not compete in female sports, no matter what adjustments they make to hormone levels. They’ve gone through male puberty and their bodies are fundamentally different.

@sajidjavid
Please look at what is happening in medical schools too. They have been signing a charter to guarantee affirmation of gender, with all the potential harm that might follow from this.
I’m wondering how I can make the public aware of the Medical Schools Charter? As the media aren’t writing about it.
This charter is being pushed by self-proclaimed ‘queer medical activists’ and it says that doctors & future doctors will affirm patients’ ‘gender identity’.
@GovJersey
I’ve delivered babies, and never once assigned any baby a sex at birth. Just handed them to their mothers who immediately observed their sex. Many knew before because of scans during pregnancy.
Today, I discovered the BMA is questioning the recommendations in the Cass Review, and the IOC is allowing men to compete against women in the boxing ring. The world has officially gone mad.
In other words, Annex B turns the NHS’s single-sex guidance into a total sham (and the promise of single-sex wards into a misleading lie) and should be removed immediately.
@NHSEngland
@NHSDevon
Hey
@NHSDevon
, who are all these pregnant people? Is “woman” now a dirty word? Please don’t obfuscate your message by using confusing language.
This is the document that makes clear the NHS should provide single sex accommodation. But, look at Annex B. It completely negates the concept of single-sex wards by allowing any person to have access to a female bed, as long as they identify as transgender or non-binary.
@timesscotland
Wrong. The Equality Act 2010 allows for sex segregation (para 734) in circumstances where “they might be used by more than one person and a woman might object to the presence of a man, or vice versa.”

She is so underrated. When I was younger, I thought she was a bit OTT. Now I think she is a true heroine. “I don’t care” is something we should all say more often.

. Glad you are covering the scandal of alleged rapes in the CBI. Have you heard of the FOI requests that uncovered 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults in UK hospitals over a period of 4 years?

Women have every right to be worried about losing our single-sex spaces. We can worry about more than one issue at once, but this is a big one.
@ruthaylett
@UKLabour
Puberty blockers are definitely NOT the same as the contraceptive pill. And children cannot consent to being sterilised or rendered asexual - they are far too young to understand the concepts.
@soniasodha
For a chambers that prided itself on tackling human-rights cases, they seemed to have little understanding of women’s rights in a world where anybody can call themselves a woman.
@DrRaviJ
Just a reminder that in the Beverley Allitt case, the senior nurses kept their jobs or were redeployed, while the hospital consultants who raised the alarm all lost their jobs.

She can’t answer. The “standards of care” she keeps quoting are, I would guess, the WPATH standards, which are built on the flimsiest of evidence.

Just because you’ve been arrogant enough to include males on a list of women in the past, doesn’t make it acceptable this year either.
