We are a different shape, have a very different hip to knee angle, which hugely effects cadence for running, cycling, jumping, even kicking in swimming, different vision, reactions & even ligaments. It’s why it’s vital we have our own sports category
Female footballers suffer ACL injuries at around three times the rate of males.
It’s one of many reasons why protecting the female category matters.
Thankfully the @FA recognised that allowing males to participate in women & girls’ football is unfair - and stopped it

My essay about the Dutch Leaks, a series of reports that @genspect will begin publishing tomorrow, examining the deeply flawed studies that led the Dutch clinicians to make the extraordinary decision to begin medicalising children.

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.

Het rapport is daarmee voor de medici hier ten lande thans ook een beschermend document tegen aanklachten, tuchtrechtelijk, civielrechtelijk en misschien zelfs wel strafrechtelijk, die nu al begonnen zijn - en waarvan er waarschijnlijk meer zullen volgen.
Het proces is immers “zorgvuldig”, en “de autonomie” van het kind wordt geacht centraal te staan. Dat betekent dat de verantwoordelijkheid voor de schade van wat eufemistisch “genderbevestigende zorg” genoemd wordt, volledig bij de kinderen zelf gelegd wordt. Zíj wilden immers, zíj gaven toestemming - en de behandelaar was heus “heel zorgvuldig”.
Ik hoop oprecht dat integere politici bereid zijn, ondanks de beladenheid van het dossier, en ondanks de maatschappelijk geastroturfde “consensus” dat deze zorg “levensreddend” zou zijn, te onderkennen wat een diep immoreel spel hier gespeeld wordt.

Om een idee te geven over de redenering van de genderklinieken zelf, is de publicatie van Oosthoek uit 2024, buitengewoon inzicht verschaffend: de genderklinieken erkennen gewoon dat het zelfconcept gaat schuiven onder de invloed van de “diagnostische gesprekken”, mensen niet goed weten waaraan ze beginnen, en onderkennen dat de eerder geuite wens kan schuiven.
Maar in plaats te concluderen dat er dus geen sprake is van diagnostiek maar beïnvloeding en er geen sprake is van welbewust kunnen afwegen (een essentiële pijler van informed consent), stellen ze platweg dat de normale medische criteria voor de zorg in dit specifieke domein niet van toepassing zouden moeten zijn.
Als zélfs de genderklinieken zelf constateren dat ze dus de facto niet aan de WGBO voldoen (maar dat verhullen met een retorische truc, namelijk herdefiniëren), hoe kan de GR dan tot de conclusie komen dat ze er wél aan voldoen?
Het zijn vragen die broodnodig door de politiek gesteld zouden moeten worden.

Wat hier gebeurt is natuurlijk schandalig: het hoogste orgaan van onze democratie een middelvinger geven omdat de genderklinieken voor het eerst publiekelijk vragen voorgelegd zouden kunnen krijgen, en dat dan “polarisatie” noemen:

This article talks about women saying yes, then changing to no. I’m going to say it again. They want her to say No, so they make that happen. These rapists don’t want consent, they actively want no consent. That’s the point.

Not a single one of her male co-workers stepped in to defend her, but they all jumped to pull her off of him when they realized she was going to kick his ass. This isn’t uncommon: plenty of men will watch complacently as a woman gets pushed around, but the second they see a woman winning, they suddenly feel the need to stop the fight.

Their entire struggle is self-inflicted and a struggle against reality itself, so they can never be successful.
Anyone who doesn't roll over for their delusions becomes a target for their vitriol. It'd be tragic if it wasn't so dangerous and tiresome.

Interview with Helen Joyce on the multi-pronged approach to resisting the gender movement. She's in Brussels tonight with @AthenaForumEU
"The academic research on supposed transgender girls cites one mother who described her infant daughter as "the ugliest thing in the world ... I was more disappointed that she was so ugly than I was disappointed that she was not a boy.""
In order to support the theory of a 'transgender child,' gender identity sexologists and psychiatrists "measured the level of physical attractiveness in children."
Boys were rated as "attractive," "pretty," "beautiful."
Girls with "gender identity disorder were rated as significantly less attractive."
The average age of the boys who were rated on their attractiveness, by adults, was 8 years old.
This research cites Robert Stoller extensively. Stoller was behind one of the first gender clinics to experiment with transitioning children in the US, at UCLA.
"We have noticed that they often have pretty faces, with fine hair, lovely complexions, graceful movements, and - especially - big, piercing, liquid eyes," Stoller said of the young boys.
The average age of girls being rated on attractiveness was just 6 years old.
The academic research on supposed transgender girls cites one mother who described her infant daughter as "the ugliest thing in the world ... I was more disappointed that she was so ugly than I was disappointed that she was not a boy."

"I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers,"
You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls.
You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it.
I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin.
I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech.
Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

Het Museum Amersfoort durft een tentoonstelling over 300 jaar lokale Joodse geschiedenis niet aan. Diep treurig. Ondertussen heb ik met een team historici gewerkt aan een mooi boek waarin dat verhaal wél wordt verteld. Nu voorintekenen met korting: bekkingblitz.nl/300jaar-syna…
Woestmakend draadje over de vele manieren waarop de EU de rechten en bescherming van vrouwen en meisjes aan het ondermijnen is en de schade die zij daarbij aanbrengen aan de levens en reputies van de vrouwen die zich verzetten.
Volg @AthenaForumEU, @el_nagashi en @RoisinMichaux
Starting in a few minutes with an intro from @el_nagashi. This will be the first time @AthenaForumEU hosts an EU-level event.
The panel will be moderated by podcaster and women's rights expert Zsófi Balogh (she's on Instagram at instagram.com/zsofilter_podc…)
The full recording will be available soon on Athena Forum's YouTube channel.
I'll be tweeting about it here for the next couple of hours.

Faika El-Nagashi explains where the money for Athena comes from: not the evangelicals, Russian oligarchs, Hungarian authoritarians as it is usually claimed. She describes some of the people all over the EU who have donated money or materials: retired gay rights and women's rights activists... and mostly just ordinary people.
"The @EU_Commission does not hide its intentions. It has committed to.... trans self ID for kids, across Europe." She lists some of the other hard and soft laws from the EU on gender.
"You will hear what these policies mean in practice."

I just stopped the broadcast of the gender equality event in the European Parliament, nobody mentioned the cancelled women who have been punished for speaking out about gender identity.
Faika El Nagashi is now introducing the @AthenaForumEU event. Straight in: no man is a woman no matter how much he feels like one. She describes the backgrounds of most of the women on stage this evening: they are not right-wing, as is always claimed. She says the panellists have risked a lot to protect children and other women. "It is insulting and aggressive" to have men on dating apps pretending to be women.
She says: Across Europe women have been dragged to court, police... for saying women need to be wary of people with penises (ref to @doramoutot) She lists all the countries where women are known to have suffered severe consequences, banned, debanked, deplatformed, harasses, threatened and attacked. "And yet we speak".
We are defamed and smeared as fascists and extremists in reports produced by established organisations funded by the @EU_Commission

The distinction isn't between 'trans' and 'cis'. It's between men who want to force their way into spaces where women and girls are vulnerable, and those who don't. The former, as any nine-year-old can understand, are far more likely to be a danger to women than the men who accept that women's safety, dignity and privacy means they should stay out of those spaces. The distinction isn't between men who claim to be women and those who don't, it's the difference between men who respect women's boundaries - trans-identified or not - and those who don't. As the old saying goes, 'good men stay out so bad men stand out.'
