The trans movement is trying to take away women’s rights to fair sports.
Participating in sport is a right. Choosing the category you want to participate in isn’t a right. You participate in the one you qualify for.
@outsports
Women’s sports exist for fairness on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity. There’s no conclusive evidence HRT eliminates all male performance advantages and it doesn’t undo the other physical developments of male puberty. Those are the problems.
@KatyMontgomerie
There’s no science to prove it’s fair for trans women to compete in women’s sports but that doesn’t stop trans activists demanding it, just saying.
@TheatreSpoonie
You can argue about gender identity but the reproductive system you’re born with literally does define your sex. Male and female are biological terms for the reproductive roles of most living creatures.
@LeftieStats
Being required to compete in the appropriate category whether its age, sex, weight or whatever isn’t the same as being banned. Or don’t you think fairness matters?
@NicESpurling
@Conservative_BC
If it’s such a non issue, why does the trans movement refuse to back down on demanding it even though there’s no conclusive evidence that it’s fair?
@KatyMontgomerie
Nothing can be resolved until you actually start dealing in all facts and not just those you choose to recognise or opinions stated as fact.
@KatyMontgomerie
I hate all the nasty personal comments Celia gets, but she courts and encourages it with deliberately antagonistic tweets. Neither of these things are healthy or lead to positive outcomes.

@JournalStarNews
You’ve misrepresented that statement out of context and you know it. The fact is Lia Thomas ranks dramatically better against women than men and that’s the problem. The fact that LT is a fairly mediocre swimmer in competitive terms doesn’t mean LT should compete with women.
@GenderJustice
@nwlc
Females deserve fair play. Do you understand that women’s sports exist for fairness on the basis that women are biologically female? Gender identity has nothing to do with which sports category you get to compete in.

Women’s sports were established and exist for fairness on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity.
@PandoraSylvana
Nobody’s been hounded out of sport. People are just required to compete in the appropriate categories to preserve fairness. Sports are completely inclusive.

You’re so wrong here. What you’re basically saying is if people don’t agree with every demand of the trans movement then it’s anti-LGBTQ hate. That leaves literally no room for conversation or compromise. The female sport issue is important and you don’t get to just shut it down.
@ThomasWillett9
The problem is when you start defining anyone who disagrees with you about anything as terf/gender critical/anti trans. All it means is you’re not willing to have a conversation.

@therealrukshan
Most people do accept them. What we don’t accept is destroying the integrity and fairness of women’s sport. Women’s sports are segregated on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity.
@narindertweets
@jk_rowling
Perhaps consider that a big part of the issue might have something to do with the unreasonable demands of gender extremists.
@narindertweets
But you tell us everything’s racist. You even look for it when there’s no racial element at all, like trying to racialise the Lucy Letby thing. Maybe stop being part of the problem? 🤷♀️

@CarilynJohnson
My sports centre has a communal women’s changing area and showers. Do you think it’s reasonable to expect me and my daughter to be naked around fully intact adult males (also naked) when we change and/or shower?

Well that’s great if it works for you, but the definition of being heterosexual is not being attracted to your own sex. Trans men are the same biological sex as me, so I’m not attracted to them. It’s not a decision I make. It’s because trans men are not actually men.
@AriDrennen
Did you actually bother to read it? It’s not remotely conclusive in any way and even admits it. It’s just a limited study with virtually no actual performance data.
@ThomasWillett9
I’m yet to see any conclusive evidence that asking people to compete in the appropriate category for their biological sex in sport stops trans people from existing 🤷♀️
@NicESpurling
@Conservative_BC
So that picture shows a trans woman who’s won multiple gold medals. If you actually read that report it’s completely inconclusive and contains virtually no actual performance data.
And no, trans people haven’t been competing for years. There’s been a few isolated cases.
@KatyMontgomerie
There’s also no data to conclusively show that HRT eliminates all male physical advantage in trans women but the trans movement still insists they should compete in female sports categories 🤷♀️
@KatyMontgomerie
In the vast majority of people sex is binary and defined by the reproductive system a person is born with. Even if you argue that exceptions like some intersex conditions challenge the binary, that still only applies to a tiny number of people.
@mimmymum
What they need is someone who’s willing to have a conversation and be reasonable, not someone who avoids questions and not someone who throws their toys out of the pram if anyone disagrees with them.
@RB6K
@LeeHurstComic
@ThomasWillett9
Women’s sports were established and exist for fairness on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity. If you redefine the meaning of ‘woman’ you have to redefine women’s sports as biological female sports.
@finngalkn
To be fair, when I try to engage and actually have a conversation with trans activists I routinely get insulted and blocked. The crappy behaviour goes both ways, believe me.
@mushycrouton
I’m really confused. You’re saying all gay people support every claim and demand of the trans movement?
You’re saying anyone who questions trans activism secretly wants to sleep with gay people?
I don’t understand 🤷♀️
I feel so sorry for all these poor, lonely hot 18yo underwear model chicks on X who just can’t find love. Why won’t any of you guys give them a chance??? 🤷♀️
Dream scenario: I’m going to sleep now.
Most likely scenario: I’m going to lie in bed for a few hours thinking about how cool it would be to go to sleep and then get up 🤷♀️😘🥱

I had to go back and listen to that part a second time because I thought I must have misheard because it’s such a ridiculous thing to say. It turns out I didn’t mishear it.

The problem with the activists is they’ll attack you and label you a bigot for disagreeing with any one of their demands. They’re the ones causing the most problems for trans people who just want to get on with their lives IMO.

@VeroniqkeNik
I think most people would agree what happened to GF wasn’t right. What pisses people off is that a violent thug has been painted as a saint and martyr. The whole situation needs to be moved on from. How he’s been portrayed in media is ridiculous and offensive.

They could look like Chris Hemsworth or Brad Pitt or whoever. I’d have zero attraction. In my experience of what I’ve seen, I’m pretty sure I’d know or at least suspect very quickly after meeting anyway and if they tried to mislead me, that would be very manipulative.

Yes they are. You don’t seem to understand your own ideology. Male and female are biological terms for the sexes and are based on reproductive roles. Trans means your gender identity doesn’t align with your biological sex. A TW can’t be biologically female by definition.
@KatyMontgomerie
Use of the terms ‘genocide’ and ‘fascism’ in this context is incredibly obnoxious and ignorant when you consider the actual lived historical experiences that are directly associated with those words.
@ThomasWillett9
What do you mean you never saw her caring about female prisoners? What a weird thing to say. When did you ever demonstrate caring about prisoners until you were able to politicise it for your own agenda?
If you block someone for being mean or abusive or whatever that’s totally fine. If you block someone because they disagree with you and you can’t think of a counter argument, you’re basically just admitting you’re wrong 🤨
@NadaAJones
It’s so weird when you get a notification and it’s that a sex bot liking a random reply you made to a tweet like 3 weeks ago. What’s it all about??? 🙄
@dagadog
@Woodywing
@ThomasWillett9
You can redefine gender as an identity, but biological sex is a reality. It doesn’t matter how much you try to confuse the definition, the fact remains.
@ThomasWillett9
The problem is you start calling anybody that disagrees with any aspect of your ideology or belief system names (gender critical/transphobe/bigot/terf/whatever) leaving no room for conversation. You aren’t right about everything. Try to keep that in mind 🤷♀️
@IndiaWilloughby
@BethRigby
@RobBurl
No, I was pointing out something misleading that you said. Lia Thomas’ physical advantages over biological female swimmers are more than just in height. So yes, based on LT’s male physicality, not just height, I do think that LT shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sport.
