After 30y w the @WomensSportsFdn, my renewal contract had a paragraph forbidding me from advocating for athlete sexual safety on @TeamUSA.🤯
When I heard @MagsGotSwag12 and @Aly_Raisman testify about being ostracized when reporting, I had to add my voice:

Tonight the Seattle School Board voted unanimously to fight I-638, a measure Washington voters just passed.
They talked it over behind closed doors, then came out and voted against the voters.
So I said it to their faces:
"35 counties said YES. King County doesn't get a veto!"
One school board doesn't get to overrule the rest of the state. Respect the vote.
Justice delayed is justice denied. 638 NOW.
#638NOW #RespectTheVote

Please understand
Public sympathy evaporated when it became clear that males were claiming the right to enter female sports, changing rooms, women’s jails etc,, and that activists were demanding “sex change” drugs, hormones and surgeries for minors.
When it became clear that gender identity believers were trying to force people to use their language.
You can blame TERFs if you want: we organized, spoke and wrote about what was going on. And now the public knows.
The public will never accept “gender identity” being prioritized over sex.

In light of #RussellBrand, this clip deserves attention.

It’s abominable the “Protect College Sports Act” has gotten this far. It pretends college sports exists in a world without Title IX, without employment rights, and without the recognition that our taxes fund the colleges & their sports programs.
Either:
1) sports are a part of a student’s education, where our tax dollars support 🇺🇸 America’s 🇺🇸 future, and women get equality (supposed to … but don’t.)
OR -
2) sports are a student’s employment opportunity, participating in a for-profit business. But if sports are employment, then employee rights like collective bargaining & workers’ comp should apply. (Under PCSA, they don’t) Importantly, all that revenue would be TAXED, like any other for-profit company. And donors couldn’t use Tax-free $$ to fund collectives, schools couldn’t use tax-free bonds to build facilities - like any other business.
In short, the PCSA would allow schools to avoid corporate taxes, workers’ rights, and gender equity - all while giving these schools protection from the lawsuits that have challenged the school grift.
The tell:
- The #PCSA could have included coaches and administrators’ compensation. The NCAA and conferences lost an antitrust case when the NCAA tried to limit coaching salaries, and I don’t see legislation protecting schools from hundreds of millions to coaches or athletic directors. Just a few male athletes.
- Why are coaches’ $$ privileged over athletes’ $$?
- The PCSA could have required the NCAA to apportion out its media $$ to its member schools based on metrics like …graduation rates, concussion protocols, gender equity, and sexual violence prevention.
But no.
The NCAA & Big 4 conferences cling to that for-profit model of $$ to the winners on the field.
As a taxpayer, why do I care about which team wins?
$$-for-wins doesn’t even make a better, more interesting game! It concentrates talent - it used to be “The Power 5”.
Educational outcomes for the half-million student-athletes are not part of the PCSA - not even an afterthought.
Pick a side - Business model or Educational model.
But the PCSA throws away our taxes and ignores our country’s economic future … among many other shortcomings.

The Seattle Times claims: “There is no serious scientific evidence that trans girls or women are better athletes than cisgender girls or women. A few transgender girls have won at the high school level, but across the U.S., just a few trans women have competed at elite college or professional levels, and none have dominated their sport.”
This is a remarkably befuddled and misleading way to couch the debate. For starters, it is without question that those who have undergone male puberty maintain a considerable athletic advantage over those who have not. And research suggests that even sustained testosterone suppression and estrogen treatment does not erase these advantages.
Even prepubescent boys tend to have athletic advantages over girls.
The research into these questions could be stronger. But it does exist. And the research claiming the contrary is considerably flawed.
@FondOfBeetles help me out here!

Stephen Fry has spent years snuggling up to trans ideology while sneering at the women who refuse to play along. He recently decided JK Rowling, a woman who has done nothing more than stand up for women's rights and single sex spaces, is a "lost cause" who got "radicalised by TERFs." The contempt is thick, isn't it?
A self appointed intellectual looking down his nose at a woman for saying biological sex is real and that girls deserve boundaries. There are so, so many of these smug old men it's ridiculous.
This is the same man who, back in 2013 on QI, thought it was funny to recite a limerick about a chaplain whose "real desire was a boy in the choir with a bottom like jelly on springs", which was broadcast minutes before Newsnight ran a report on Jimmy Savile!! How many red flags are needed, exactly? The BBC Trust later called the timing "unfortunate." Unfortunate. 🙄
Then, in 2016 he sat there and told sexual abuse survivors that their self pity got none of his sympathy and that they should "just grow up," casually throwing in the example of an uncle who "touched you in that nasty place."
He apologised later, of course. They always do once the outrage arrives.
This is the same old pattern. The same voices who minimise, joke about, or laugh away the reality of abuse against children are the ones who treat safeguarding and the age of consent as old fashioned inconveniences that can be rewritten when it suits them. Many of us have been saying for years that this erosion was coming. Trans ideology didn't invent it, but it's opened the door wide and given cover to people who want to blur the lines around children, consent and boundaries. And the loudest advocates are often the same ones busy belittling women, dismissing our concerns and tearing down the sex based protections the suffragettes fought for in the first place.
It's not complicated. If you're happy to mock or minimise what happened to children and you're also pushing an ideology that treats sex as optional and safeguarding as bigotry, you don't get to pretend you're on the side of the vulnerable.

I believe that so-called conversion practices bans are among the most dangerous and pernicious pieces of legislation. They enshrine the concept of the "trans child" in law and impose a model of compulsory affirmation that extends the self-ID delusion to all of society.

In this 14 minute video, I respond to Stun Gun Jen’s 2 minute 40 second clip with my own original commentary, analysis, and disagreement. I address her specific claims point by point and add substantial new context, perspective, and critique throughout.
The laws passed in Washington, Colorado, Arizona, and Nebraska matter because they protect the female sports category from being treated as optional. Girls deserve fair competition, roster spots, scholarships, records, and championships reserved for females.
Anyone trying to repeal or overturn these protections is asking girls to carry the cost. One male athlete can change an entire season and affect hundreds of female athletes. Voters saw that clearly.

Every claim transgender ideology makes, the exact opposite is true. It’s a rule of thumb that works 100% of the time. And, every organization transgender ideology infiltrates becomes the exact opposite of its mission. Human Rights Commissions are a clear example.
It’s not a human right to have your made up identify validated by other people and it’s not a human rights violation to be referred to by correct language. In fact, the exact opposite is true: it’s a human rights violation to be forced to adhere to an ideology you don’t believe in.

DIAG Democrats & fellow TERFs, we are at an important moment for reforming the party of some rotten planks. 🧵(long post).
On Nov 3, Americans rejected unfairness and corruption at the White House AND on the school playing field. This is the link: we reject unfairness. No special exceptions. Not for cabinet members and pentagon contracts, not for schoolboys pretending.
Trans, by denying 'maleness' of men, denies male advantage, and male-pattern everything. It thus upends legal safeguards, long held to be important based on sexed vulnerability and patterns of sex based violence, for women to secure full participation in society.
No male/man can ever be or become a female/woman, and accordingly none should be or become a 'legal women' either. It's unfair, and untrue. It destroys the integrity of the category-- and the spirits of girls.
There is no way to "live as a woman" without having been born female. Preschoolers are supposed to learn object permanence, but apparently this is no longer happening?
We must rescind and repeal all sex falsification 'trans' laws with a "Re-Establish Objective Boundaries Act."
Personal style can be 100% free, civil rights for all non conformers-- but no officially sanctioned lies about sex, no obscuring legal sex, and no 'sex changes' in paperwork or law. Be a dolled up vaginoplastied man, (which you ARE), and feel free to campaign for third spaces if needed, and let the word "woman" go. You are not entitled to it.
Restore former sex-based meanings to man, woman, girl, and boy in all law and policy. End this state overreach (what enables any form or 2+2=5, even one pretending to be progressive) by rescinding state power to uncouple law and policy from facts. How about a "Fact Based Policies Act."
Right now, TRAs calling us right wingers can't stick-- not when the same election that booted Trumpism ALSO booted unfairness to girls.
WE, not HRC, represent the majority of voters. We represent women. We represent men. We represent fairness sweeping out corruption.
I never left the party, and I deeply opposed Trump, and concurrently fight for Democrats to take a reality position on Gender. I felt the election results were completely coherent, exactly mirroring my politics. There is no schism here.
I also see Democrats as the MARKS, not the authors, of the Gender psy op.
Just as wealthy criminals should not be able to buy pardons or certain corporations get special exceptions to rules, neither should males (backed by $ NGOs and industry) receive a special exceptions to become legal girls. These issues-- anti corruption, pro fairness-- are LINKED.
Girls and women are not a 'social category.' We are a sex. These young females being elbowed aside at the starting line will give birth to and nurture the next generation of humans. We CANNOT pull the rug out from under girls for the benefit of self-rejecting males and expect them to be unaffected; to remain confident and self directed into adulthood. Society must value girls and women for men to learn to do so.
Why is it too much for women to ask for the rights we won over centuries? OMG where to begin … males have invaded every level of sport, every league, top to bottom. ➡️The NCAA has no males competing in female categories… because WOMEN FOUGHT BACK! Weren’t you an athlete @maddow? Ladder-pulling?

Another boy winning girls' championship medals.
There are at least 5 boys on record running "girls'" cross country this year. Here are their best 5k times and their rankings compared to girls:
1. 18:39 - Top 1%
2. 18:47 - Top 1%
3. 18:36 - Top 1%
4. 22:59 - Top 33%
5. Did not run 5k
"Only 5" boys in the entire country participating against girls and three of them (60%) just so happen to be in the top 1% of all "female" cross country athletes.
What are the odds of that?
🚨UNREAL: Yesterday in SoCal, a trans-identified boy, James Medero of Claremont High School, finished FIRST in a field of 92 runners in the Girls' JV Palomares League Championship race.
His time for the 3-mile course was 18:39, while the real winner, Nayeli Naranjo of High School, crossed the finish line in 20:00.
Rumor has it there were a @CIFState rep and a Claremont Unified school board member at the race as allies to the "transgender athlete."
When will California return to sanity?

Fans of "gender identity" are freaking out about the ballot initiatives because deep down, everyone understands that if no boys are girls for the purpose of sports, no boys are girls for any other purpose either.
Oddly, even the ACLU's main "gender" lawyer understands this.

So grateful for everyone who has worked so incredibly hard in Colorado to make this happen. What a huge win for girls and gender nonconforming youth!
Finally. IT’S AP OFFICIAL!
*YES, YES, YES on 133, 134 & 135!*🎉
Colorado has voted YES on all THREE child-protection measures:
✅ Prop 133: The Children Are Not For Sale Act
✅ Prop 134: The Protect Girls’ Sports Act
✅ Prop 135: The Protect Kids From Irreversible Sex-Change Surgery Act
THREE PROPOSITIONS. THREE VICTORIES. ONE GIANT GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT.
In a deep blue state. Against millions in opposition spending. Powered by thousands of everyday Coloradans who refused to back down.
We the people did that! 🇺🇸
But the REAL winners? >>> THE CHILDREN OF COLORADO. ❤️ That’s who this has always been about.
