Today, a 50-year-old male competed in the 13+ female category in Ontario, Canada.
This assault on women's and girls' dignity and complete disregard for the principles of fairness in sport must be openly denounced by all decent people everywhere.
Please send your best wishes to Amy (
@preta_6
) and her lawyer Lisa Bildy (
@LDBildy
) as they gear up to defend women's sex-based rights and free expression next week

Barbara Findlay: I request you use accurate language and not use "trans identified male" when referring to trans women.
Amy Hamm: I am using the most accurate language.
Barbara Findlay: I want the panel to rule that she can't refer to trans women as men. 1/3

Lisa Bildy: Not valid to invoke the BC Human Rights Code. This isn't a clinical setting, it's a hearing and the witness should use words she wants to use. Should we request you not use certain words? Some women find the term "cis" highly offensive.
Panel breaks to consider. 3/3

This is him (in pigtails) explaining that if a woman asks him where he plans on putting his tampons, he will respond ‘in her mouth so when they expand she can shut the hell up’
Transactivism is filled to the rafters with men who clearly hate women
This prick is no different
"[T]he alleged thought crimes against Hamm have nothing to do with how she has treated patients, and everything to do with expressing opinions on social media that do not neatly align with the 'affirm all things trans or else' narrative."

If being seen as and called a woman while being pregnant is too traumatic for some, perhaps motherhood should be delayed while the underlying trauma is treated.
Did you know? Incarcerated women are being assaulted and impregnated inside Canadian prisons by males who are being transferred there from men's prisons. Many of these males are doing time for sexual assault. 1/2
Are you actually serious? You just celebrated a full Pride *Season*. October is

Barbara Findlay: So you don't believe that trans women could be lesbians? You don't respect how they self-identify?
Amy Hamm: I'm not being mean. That's just the underlying reality of the situation. Transwomen attracted to women are heterosexual males.

@WoodReporting
Let's face it: the reason such a concept as the "transgender child" even exists is because many people are uncomfortable with effeminate boys and masculine girls. This needs to stop.
If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

Anyone who states they're disgusted by their own body should be provided with free high-quality mental health services to help them love and accept their physical self. Underlying issues need to be explored fully, including past trauma, sexual abuse and autism spectrum disorder.

Barbara Findlay: You think trans women should be excluded from rape shelters because some women have penises and women would be traumatized?
Amy Hamm: I don't believe women have penises. But yes, there are instances of sexual harassment. There should be zero.
We condemn your woman-hatred, City Councillor.
We are pro-women and girls.
We are pro-science.
We are pro-evidence.

Your ideology is harmful, regressive and authoritarian.
We reject it.
And we won't be silenced. Ever.

In Canada, you're at risk of being being called "far-right" if you know the difference between a female and a male.

Are you willing to take that risk?

Dear Legislators,
Sex is fixed and immutable.
"Gender identity" is personality framed as sex-role stereotypes.
"Gender expression" is fashion choices.
Best regards,
The Women
The Liberal/NDP coalition insists that a woman is anyone who declares it. Then, bizarrely, they create a Vagina and Vulva Day because "they are powerful and important". Not women, their genitalia. Does anyone else get the feeling their goal is to objectify and demoralize women?
There is no reason for Canadian Parliament to continue to exist.
Happy Vagina & Vulva Day🇨🇦🇨🇦🥳
How will you celebrate?
😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️🤡🌎
Somebody, please - make it stop!
We're at the point where gender ideologues think saying "women with short hair and no makeup are indistinguishable from men" is some kind of an argument. Really. They're actually saying it.
There's not a single Canadian Member of Parliament who will rise in the House of Commons and accurately state what a woman is. Not a single one.
This is pure insanity.

lawyer Barbara Findlay claims Hamm's views are evidence she could *potentially* cause harm and for that she should be punished. If passed, this Act will be a dystopian nightmare.
#IStandWithAmyHamm
Barbara Findlay is badgering Amy with the same line: "The more successful your campaign, the fewer trans women would be in women's washrooms... spaces... sports..."
Amy stands her ground: "Males should be in the correct category. Not women's problem."
The sooner we all realize that the main political parties globally don't care about women, the sooner we'll make progress. Free yourself from partisanship and focus on women's sex-based rights and protections. It is *the* foundational issue for women right here, right now.

for defending her Charter right to freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression -- and, by extension, all Canadians' rights.
You know what would be really progressive? If the person on the left felt they could dress however they pleased, completely dismiss sex-role expectations and embrace material, biological reality. That would be super cool -- and a win for humanity.

We're a group of volunteers working for women's rights. Many of us are new to activism. We're doing our best in an extremely hostile political situation that got out of hand behind the scenes before many of us were aware. Let's support each others' work.
#IStandWithAmyHamm
Barbara Findlay: Is it your goal to keep trans women out of women's washrooms?
Amy Hamm: It's not incumbent upon women who want to preserve women's safety and dignity to advocate for males who want to use women's spaces. I advocate for sex-segregated spaces.
We might stop saying gender dysphoria and instead call it sex dysphoria. The people who suffer from the condition have trouble accepting their sexed bodies and/or sex role stereotypes imposed on them and/or sexual orientation. Why was it never just called sex dysphoria?
Final day of hearings today after an absurdly lengthy quasilegal ordeal. Amy is truly a Canadian heroine for enduring this witch hunt with dignity and poise.

We are deeply concerned that Rugby Canada is rejecting the evidence-based guidance from
@WorldRugby
that women's rugby should remain woman-only. Rugby Canada's ill-conceived guidelines will place women and girls at risk of serious physical harm. We reject Rugby Canada's stance.
It gives us hope that German and Spanish legislators have rejected gender self-ID on the first go-round. Sending our best wishes to our sisters overseas as they keep the heat on to protect women and children!
Solidarity! 🇩🇪🇪🇸🇨🇦🌎
The "most marginalized" community in society gets their rainbow flag worked into every multinational corporation's logo for an entire month. Meanwhile, women are silenced and fired from these same corps for speaking of material biological reality.
#SexNotGender
In years to come, many people will be back-pedalling like mad. Some will hang their heads in shame. Others will strenuously deny they ever endorsed gender identity ideology. The day will come.
Male prisoners are sexually assaulting women in women's prisons.
Is this humane?
Is this progressive?
Is this the Canada we want?
Please retweet to tell the world that gender self-ID loopholes are being used by Canadian sex offenders to transfer to women's prisons.

Women and girls have a right to be recognized in law and public policy.
We have a right to be distinguished from other citizens who do not share our distinct, material concerns and issues.
This should not be controversial. Not even a little bit.
Did Canadian legislators anticipate that any male (including male-presenting ones) would be able to claim "internal sense" as a justification for entering female-only spaces?
