• 12 July 2021: They are indeed. And dragging counsellors through a lengthy and protracted “disciplinary” proceeding should they not use mother-centred language.
• 12 July 2021: I hope they use the pants off the government of California.
• 12 July 2021: I did listen to Finding Cleo, extremely sad story
• 11 July 2021: According to this whistleblower, it appears @OzBreastfeeding is more concerned about males wanting to artificially induce lactation than mothers, babies and the breastfeeding consultants.
• 11 July 2021: 'It is not the role of mother support people to be counselling transwomen. Their number one role is to establish breastfeeding with the birth mother,' she says.
• 11 July 2021: 'Those expressing concerns have been silenced rather than the ABA trying to accommodate the volunteers,'
• 11 July 2021: 'I have experienced men ringing the helpline and wanting to have inappropriate sexualised conversations about breasts and have always, until now, felt supported by the organisation to immediately discontinue those phone calls and report them.' @OzBreastfeeding
• 11 July 2021: Whistleblower at Aus. Breastfeeding Association: “We do not consent to provide that support. We are experts in mother-to-mother breastfeeding we have no skills in assisting in affirming men in their experimental attempts to breastfeed” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9771551/Australian-Breastfeeding-Association-offers-LGBTQI-families-men-transwomen-breastfeeding-advice.html
• 11 July 2021: Denton’s playbook says otherwise
• 11 July 2021: Beggars belief that OJ continues to bang on about “marginalised” when we know the trans lobby is one of the most organised, powerful, connected and well-resourced industries in the world, if not the most.

• 11 July 2021: Chaos
• 11 July 2021: Thank you everyone! This is a veritable feast of content. Cleaning out the filing cabinet and sorting my study is not going to be the chore I was dreading….
• 11 July 2021: Shout out to the terven hive mind for suggestions for podcasts and webinars to listen to. In Greater Sydney lockdown with time on my hands, getting through some of those big around-the-house jobs you never have time for and looking for interesting stuff to listen to.
• 11 July 2021: I support you Milli! Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. Courage lends to courage.
• 11 July 2021: It’s been rebranded the “Progress” flag
• 11 July 2021: Many groups fighting on all the fronts now, so many dedicated people, the public debate has many well-informed and articulate GC voices representing our position to push back on the ideologues. Courage lends to courage - more and more of us are finding strength to speak out!
• 11 July 2021: I feel very relieved that angle is covered and I feel I can concentrate on my research or lobbying, and know that the public debate has dedicated and articulate GC voices representing our position, and pushing back in the ideologues.
• 11 July 2021: …the GC resistance has already deployed and is saying everything that needs to be said, and arguing all the important points, on all the platforms. It used to always be the same names resisting, but now there are so many engaged in this fight from so many walks of life!
• 11 July 2021: I entirely agree. A few years ago, we would all be overjoyed when someone published an article or did a podcast or were interviewed by media…now we have so much content out there I cannot keep up. Or there is some ideological nonsense published and I get there and find that….
• 11 July 2021: A dumpster fire of comments
• 11 July 2021: That’s absolute garbage. Some of those practitioners provide care children and people with trans or gender identities, including detransitioners.
• 11 July 2021: Those cases are not precedent. I’ll tell you why, because they only considered evidence from Telfer’s side, no counter-evidence whatsoever. They are also labouring under erroneous beliefs such as PBs are reversible. Those cases will eventually be overturned.
• 11 July 2021: Neither have the AUSPATH been peer-reviewed. They are simply touted as “best practice”. I could sit here and waste time adding links to peer-reviewed evidence criticising these practices, but I’m not going to bother. This is the biggest medical scandal of the 21stC.
• 11 July 2021: I was appalled by their behaviour. They were like a pack of starving hyenas, isolating, surrounding and tormenting their prey, provoking and antagonising, using a phalanx of cameras, umbrellas, skateboard. It was appalling. Enraged mob of villagers with pitchforks.
• 11 July 2021: They will do whatever they can to divide us. This about protecting women and children. They despise that women are the gatekeepers and the last line of defence against children and young women, so they use whatever they can to discredit us.
• 11 July 2021: …must be had. And it is an emotive conversation, which is why objective, rational, evidence-based discussion must take place, not dominated by hyperbole, overwrought emotion, ideology, conflicts of interests and bias.
• 11 July 2021: impartial, credible evidence that does exist says otherwise. This is an extremely complex issue and it’s clear to me you only have understanding from the side of the ideologues. A transparent, impartial conversation critiquing the “children will die” narrative…
• 11 July 2021: and wilfully misunderstood to promote an ideology. It is completely reckless to tell children they will kill themselves if they don’t get what they demand, to tell them that transitioning will relieve their distress, to create lifelong medical patients. Especially when the
• 11 July 2021: That is not what I am doing at all Jenny. I am asking you to explain your blanket statements. You are responding with hyperbole and accusations. I understand the distress is real with these children, and I am horrified at the way this distress is weaponised and misconstrued
• 11 July 2021: Yes Jenny, details need to be “nit picked”. The devil is in the details. If you are going to make such claims as “children will die” you need to be able to back it up and explain it. Correlation is not causation, suicide is complex, making blanket statements about it is reckless.
• 11 July 2021: They also attacked a Hispanic couple
• 11 July 2021: Dr. Michelle Telfer makes a wide variety of erroneous and reckless claims. Telfer’s AUSPATH Guidelines have been meticulously critiqued by a group of highly qualified psychologists and psychiatrists. https://ourduty.group/2021/07/04/segm-issues-rebuttal-to-auspath/
• 10 July 2021: Women and girls have the right to separate spaces, that we fought for, from men when we are vulnerable, in a state of undress or asleep. Fighting for men to access these spaces is not “civil rights” it is a display of male entitlement and misogyny.
• 10 July 2021: What are you talking about?
• 10 July 2021: I am also cautious of any reporting that is not impartial - that article uses woke language “gender-affirming care”, and the doctor is a gender specialist therefore has a vested interest in protecting livelihood, reputation and gender industry.
• 10 July 2021: What does “try to commit suicide” mean, what did they actually do? You need context for these claims. There are too many unanswered questions to make simplistic statements such “children will die” ie kids will commit suicide if they don’t get opposite sex hormones on demand.
• 10 July 2021: What does “try to commit suicide” mean? You need context for these claims. There are too many unanswered questions to make simplistic statements such as kids will commit suicide if they don’t get opposite sex hormones on demand.
• 10 July 2021: And is the attempted suicide related to side effects of the hormonal treatment, comorbidities relating to hormonal treatment? Has anyone investigated the implications of telling children they will commit suicide if they don’t get the medication they demand?
• 10 July 2021: They also do not consider the impact on mental health and stability of taking opposite sex hormones, which are acknowledged and documented.
• 10 July 2021: pic.twitter.com/lPEV0vYQXc
• 10 July 2021: But lived experience is not “expertise” or reliable evidence. Until we have proper, credible medical research that clearly demonstrates what the TRAs are claiming, they cannot rely on it as a valid argument.
• 10 July 2021: You cannot say these medical interventions are “lifesaving” because it prevents suicides, then when you cannot provide any evidence of suicides, say well, it might happen therefore it is lifesaving and it’s still your fault. What sort of argument is that?
• 10 July 2021: So on the one hand you say, the rates are similar, then when they aren’t, you say, doesn’t matter because “the direction is the same”. You do realise you are talking nonsense?
• 10 July 2021: It is right and appropriate to gatekeep irreversible, experimental medical interventions. Just as it is right to gatekeep women’s spaces for children and women. Nothing wrong with “gatekeeping”, especially from those who seek to be reckless or harmful or abusive.
• 10 July 2021: Provide evidence
• 10 July 2021: Why not both?!?
• 10 July 2021: Woke fail. Excludes colour-blind people!
• 10 July 2021: Give this brave journalist a follow! @bethanyshondark https://twitter.com/rosey_nz/status/1413685154397134849
• 10 July 2021: That’s not my understanding due to the effects of the condition.
• 10 July 2021: Very very true. It’s why T levels are an imperfect way of delineating. The line should simply be only biological females playing in women and girls category.
• 10 July 2021: Greater Sydney lockdown. What happens if I forget the milk? pic.twitter.com/vRVpvr13tw
• 10 July 2021: In reply to FA, well yes, anecdotes are relevant in some circumstances, but to solely use anecdote as the basis for determining clinical approach is a truly remarkably negligent statement to make.
• 10 July 2021: The Australian women’s movement will be safe in the hands of the next generation. My 8 year old daughter wrote this entirely of her own volition playing “offices” today ❤️ pic.twitter.com/0VZH0UdGN7
• 10 July 2021: Was a delightful read.
• 10 July 2021: If you are in Australia, please get in touch.
• 10 July 2021: Their ignorance is embarrassing. Semenya is biologically male with undescended testes and Y chromosomes. No woman has T levels over 5 nmol/L unless they have a hormonal disorder, such as PCOS, which would hinder their ability to compete at elite level.
• 10 July 2021: Yes they do, the US national media covered it. The TRAs did themselves a huge disservice with their deplorable, violent behaviour. Likely peaked a heap more people.
• 10 July 2021: Yes indeed! There was a Aussie radfem who did the hard yards on pressuring the ABS. This is a win. We must collect data on basis of sex firstly, but it’s also important to collect it for trans & NB people so we can understand their demographic to provide appropriate resources.
• 10 July 2021: Exactly. It is insidious and cruel.
• 10 July 2021: Pink News? Bahahaha. That’s just a mouthpiece for misogynists and the Rainbow Reich.
• 10 July 2021: No. There was a woman who filmed herself making the complaint, in the presence of many other women complaining. She has since made a public statement. That is good enough for me. It’s telling that so many men are saying they don’t believe her - that her word is not enough.
• 10 July 2021: I use preferred pronouns. I use the pronouns that I prefer to use. Sex-based for the most part. But I will also use pronouns for the trans people that I have respectfully connected with, and who politely make that request. https://twitter.com/drlouisejmoody/status/1413449764964757512
• 10 July 2021: That not an essential reason for leaving the house - I’d get fined!
• 10 July 2021: I finally feel brave enough to criticise this reckless narrative. I am sure if a child had actually completed suicide they would be martyred and deified by Mermaids.
• 9 July 2021: Hatred and disgust and denigration of women for being the sex able to bring forth life
• 9 July 2021: Two weeks of school holidays at home with 3 young children, another week minimum. School not going back. It’s a joke. The day of school holidays they call the lockdown - the impact on the economy, small business, lives interrupted….so many people I know are simply not coping.
• 9 July 2021: Exactly - it’s incredibly reckless and goes against Samaritan’s advice for reporting on suicide. These groups peddling suicide myths to vulnerable children and teenagers must be held to account. They are the ones causing needless suffering.
• 9 July 2021: These people need to start providing evidence of “lives lost”. If a child has died as a direct result of the Tavistock decision, let’s hear it. Susie Green of @Mermaids_Gender foreshadowed an epidemic of suicide yet it’s seven months later…and nothing? STOP weaponising suicide. https://twitter.com/butnotthecity/status/1413286709740118018
• 9 July 2021: With the dozens of phones and cameras being shoved in the faces of the people being surrounded and assaulted by so-called “antifa”, I’m incredulous there is not footage and photographic evidence from every conceivable angle. What happened to those with “press” body armour?
• 9 July 2021: For a group that has demonstrable direct access to power, such as White House, Ottawa, IOC etc, with the ability to effect such swift and dramatic change in their favour, I’m struggling to see how that equates to political oppression?
• 9 July 2021: Wondering if the nurse was of the #WomenWontWheesht variety and having a lend?
• 9 July 2021: Wasn’t Invictus complaining that someone insulted their appearance, but then they go on to call you a Karen?
• 9 July 2021: I grew up with a rescue Ridgeback, she was terrified of men and loud noises. I hate to think what had been done to her.
• 9 July 2021: Loads of young GC over on TikTok
• 9 July 2021: “Lived experience” has replaced facts and evidence.

• 9 July 2021: Men and boys belong in the male sports category.
• 9 July 2021: Winston would have found this clever little diagram to expose Woke newspeak useful. When they say this they actually mean this. 2 + 2 = 5 means capitulate whatever I say otherwise you will be erased for heresy. @ConceptualJames @peterboghossian pic.twitter.com/cRDQFVRInE
• 9 July 2021: The organisations have already chosen. They have replaced the female category with mixed sex. So now we have mixed sex (females and failed males) and men's.

• 9 July 2021: I am truly annoyed so many of us have to spend time explaining basic, observable facts about male and female physiology to people so woke they won’t acknowledge the reality before their eyes.
• 9 July 2021: This what happens when you put an elderly male in a position that should be held by a woman or man who has the stamina, at a minimum, to be able to form a coherent sentence.
• 8 July 2021: The most powerful thread I have ever read about how we must reject the concept of gender and reclaim our right to be recognised as the category women - adult human females - from the legislature who pander to the demands of men who wish to perform what they think woman are. https://twitter.com/hairyleggdharpy/status/1412439798401351684
• 8 July 2021: Not to detract from the stress of this Rachel…but lucky your son wasn’t in Australia, a pair of return first class tickets from Sydney to Paris are currently $24,000 😱
• 8 July 2021: Why would you apply it unilaterally when males are responsible for 98% of CSE?
• 8 July 2021: According to @latimes , women boundaries can be transgressed and children no longer have the right to be safeguarded against strange, naked males. Because we should all just get over it and get with the times. Grooming of society, in action. https://twitter.com/my_real_name/status/1412950629144698883
• 8 July 2021: It truly is incoherent BS that can only be subjectively determined. Making law based on feelings is bad law, yet here we are.
• 8 July 2021: Similar to how “inclusion” means exclusion of women and girls, or “woman” now means males?

• 8 July 2021: Exactly. There is a reason we don’t let children and adolescents make certain decisions.
• 8 July 2021: Woman hate, especially for the disobedient women standing up for women’s rights and safeguarding children, is alive and well. https://twitter.com/dimension20show/status/1412599020850139138
• 7 July 2021: More evidence the Pride flag is being rebranded “Progress Pride” flag. Won’t be long before they drop “Pride” altogether. Wondering how history will look back on this example of symbolism? https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2021-07-07/hate-crime-investigation-underway-as-bristols-new-rainbow-crossing-vandalised?fbclid=IwAR3xEXPt6FZWky0YlEK31A98zenICR_BiQUM-jWOrxd6L3q0yr6q9lLB-eQ
• 7 July 2021: Is the production company or sponsors signed up as Stonewall Diversity champions?
• 7 July 2021: Don’t they know that males are routinely are placed in women’s prisons in the UK, on nothing more than a self-declaration, even if they are rapists and murderers? The UK just stated it’s lawful for the MOJ to do so. This storyline is pure TRA propaganda. https://twitter.com/hollyoaks/status/1412133428774936576
• 7 July 2021: Telfer claims he has “wind resistance” due to his superior height apparently, never mind that height is a valuable trait for hurdlers and that being male, his torso to leg ratio is higher. https://youtu.be/QLfUjrUO_7w
• 7 July 2021: I think you’ll find it’s not the case. It’s just the press doesn’t cover it. Women in France, Germany, Spain are fighting against it. WHRC has weekly panels with women from all over the world who are affected. https://www.womensdeclaration.com/en/country-info/france/statement-from-r%C3%A9sistance-lesbienne-about-paris-pride-2021/

• 7 July 2021: To be fair, I’ve done a fair few live TV interviews and podcasts lately, and spoke to a parliamentary inquiry, it can be terrifying. If you lose your train of thought you can end up looking like a stunned mullet. It’s awful and you kick yourself for days afterwards.

• 6 July 2021: It bigoted to insult those who do not agree that girls and women should bear the brunt of boys and men wanting to compete in their sports.
• 6 July 2021: No one is banning anyone. Women’s sports are not a dumping ground for mediocre men. Lindsey is male and has no right to participate in women and girls’ sports.

• 6 July 2021: Clarify - the IOC is 10 nmol/L, which is not even mandatory testing…they rely on the athletes to adhere to it, but if they are tested and fail then they get suspended for 12 months. What a gift to those who seek to exploit shoddy policy for performance advantage.
• 6 July 2021: They seem to be missing the point that little girls and women seeing a strange man exposing his penis is sexual assault.
• 6 July 2021: Including men and boys, excludes women and girls. Males in the female category makes a mockery of women’s sports, it’s might be a win for misogyny, but certainly not for women and girls.
• 6 July 2021: The restriction is 10 nmol/L not 5 nmol/L. I’ve read the decision, while I feel compassion for Caster, she is biologically male, she has XY chromosomes, undescended testes and has benefited from that in a way a biological female never will

• 6 July 2021: Is there parliamentary appetite for that?
• 6 July 2021: I learnt in law school that judges cannot make law, they can only interpret. They way they write judgments can be a message to parliament to fix conflicts or clarify statutes, the MOJ is an example of that in my opinion.

• 5 July 2021: DARVO Plus the motley group of sad sacks, incel losers, screeching libfems and entitled uni students were hardly redolent of some sort of “resistance”. If that’s “antifa” then clearly the only advantage they have is being a violent mob. Good luck with that long term strategy.

Disgraceful display of mob mentality, like a pack of slavering dogs. Wake up to yourself. https://twitter.com/anitasarkeesian/status/1411462936795639810

• 4 July 2021: No one is buying the “transphobia” argument anymore. We all know it simply means “someone who doesn’t agree with me, probably an uppity woman that does not want men in spaces where women and children are vulnerable, or in her sport”.
• 4 July 2021: Did you miss the aggressive brownshirt style bullying of self-identified “antifa” at Wispa in LA this weekend?
• 4 July 2021: What an ignorant statement - not very well informed if you (still) erroneously & simplistically believe it’s “far right”. People all over the political spectrum reject gender identity ideology, especially centrist and left women. Do keep up.
• 4 July 2021: I bet she thinks she would be the witch being burnt at the Salem trials - the one standing up for women. Nothing more than one of the deranged villagers, shrieking and waving their pitchforks, enraged a lone woman refuses to capitulate.
• 4 July 2021: We can all see who the bullies are here. Don’t forget the so-called “antifa” are fighting for the right of a man to expose himself to children. You are delusional if you think they are the right side of history.
• 4 July 2021: Stop peddling lies. I spent yesterday watching footage of these so-called “antifa”. They are nothing but modern day brownshirts. I was disgusted…they stand for nothing but chaos and violence. Disgusting.
• 4 July 2021: …to little girls. They are the aggressors and the problem. @MrAndyNgo is quite right. And despite the pathetic, toothless reporting of the MSM, the footage speaks for itself.
• 4 July 2021: The proof is in the pudding. All you have to do is look at how the so-called “antifa” are hunting down the protestors one-by-one to realise they are nothing more than a group of aggressive, nasty brownshirts. And don’t forget they are fighting for men to expose their genitals
• 4 July 2021: Taunting….exactly right. Goading them into a response, then shrieking “victim” and whining to the police when the person defends themselves and fights back. It’s DARVO on steroids. It’s so horrifyingly antagonistic.
• 4 July 2021: What about “pants” as an expletive?
• 4 July 2021: I will never stop fighting for the little girls. The other side forgets that we women have been fighting them for millenia, and we carry the memories of our foremothers who have survived, within us.

• 4 July 2021: You hunt down, isolate and surround your prey. Wave a phalanx of cameras and phones in their face as you advance and get their back up to the wall. Scream insults, antagonise and provoke. Run these people down. You are a pack of disgusting hyenas. Shame on you.
• 4 July 2021: What’s with the phalanx of cameras and photos? It’s very sinister and disturbing.
• 4 July 2021: Will be there in August!
• 4 July 2021: Can someone explain the tactic of shoving a million phones and cameras into the face of the person they are intimidating? I find it really, really threatening.

• 4 July 2021: UK High Court determines it is lawful to incarcerate men who rape women and children in the women’s estate because they need to experience prison in the gender they identify.

• 4 July 2021: 27 followers in 12 years…he’s winning the internet!
• 4 July 2021: This most definitely is not that. Not at all. It’s chaos and destruction. It’s an excuse to intimidate and frighten people, to demonstrate anyone who holds opinions that do not align with their authoritarian regressive world view (they call “progressive”) will be hunted down.
• 4 July 2021: …either chasing them away or the police intervene. They are like a pack of starving hyenas. I’ve seen at least four examples of them doing that on the Wi Spa protest footage. It’s disgusting intimidation.
• 4 July 2021: I’m really appalled by their tactics - hunt down and isolate a single protestor, surround them, start advancing and back them against a wall, yell provocations, wave dozens of phones and cameras in their face, then screech “victim” when they defend themselves, before
• 4 July 2021: You can’t answer my questions can you?
• 4 July 2021: Is your logic, someone is a lawyer in NSW therefore they are a racist? The cognitive ability you demonstrate is truly stunning.
• 4 July 2021: Mate, I’d be very careful about implying someone is racist unless you have evidence to back it up. Answer my questions please.
• 4 July 2021: Stonewall has had a good crack at pushing it through irrespective of the law in the UK, Pride in Diversity is doing the same thing here in Australia - and they use Stonewall Diversity scheme as a template.

• 4 July 2021: Provoking is exactly right. They are detestable. I don’t what it is about all the phones waving around but it really gets under my skin, they are so sanctimonious about it. Vile.

• 4 July 2021: Hubbard weighs 131kg. That is 45 kg over the 87+ kg category minimum. FORTY FIVE KG. 50% more than the super heavy weight minimum.
• 4 July 2021: Stuff and nonsense. It comes down to mediocre and/or aged out males wanting to compete in the female category, and women are simply saying, NO we do not consent to men and boys playing in our sports category.
• 4 July 2021: Males using women’s spaces. Reality based language is important.
• 4 July 2021: Maybe the police pulled him away for his own safety
• 4 July 2021: Why aren’t they arresting the antifa thugs? They are deliberately goading, surrounding and crowding in on single people. Waving their phones around so they can screech “assault” if someone defends themselves. No better than hyenas.
• 4 July 2021: Some good news out of Canada!!
• 4 July 2021: Never in a million years will I join an authoritarian movement that deliberately creates chaos, assaults anyone who disagrees with them and fights for male predators to have access to children.
• 4 July 2021: What these people fail to realise is that the penis-person posed a threat. It is an aggressive move. The vast majority of people, especially parents, are enraged by that. Do they honestly not realise it enlivens a visceral & primal reaction in people to protect the vulnerable?

• 3 July 2021: Really glad I left California in 2007.
• 3 July 2021: What do you think a woman is Zach, a man because he says so? He is not a woman and you and everyone else knows it. You are happy to support legislation that results in children and women being sexually assaulted. Good to know where you and California stand on that.
• 3 July 2021: Betraying women by destroying their rights might have had something to do with it.
• 3 July 2021: And what about the rules that it is illegal for men to expose their genitals to children? Does that rule now suddenly cease to apply because the male says he is a woman?
• 3 July 2021: What is a woman to you Zach? The male with his penis out at a the spa is a man and had no place in the women’s section. He belongs in the men’s. Glad we cleared that up.
• 3 July 2021: Do you not believe the woman on the video? She says children are present. Are you defending the policy that it is okay for a naked man to gain access to children snd women at a spa?
• 3 July 2021: What are you saying here Zach? That a male with intact genitalia is a woman because he says so? pic.twitter.com/zv2MOjOszl
• 3 July 2021: If you watch the entire Wi Spa video that is exactly what happened. Little girls were in the spa and he encroached on them with his genitalia exposed.
• 3 July 2021: And yep, we have males in the female prison estate here in Australia already. Women are working on collating the data. As usual we are about 2-3 years behind the rest of the world on this stuff. https://www.facebook.com/SingleSexPrisonsWA/
• 3 July 2021: They don’t even need a certificate Graeme. Look at the sports policies. The Sex Discrimination Commissioner even said that it would be unlawful for a sports organisation to prevent a male from accessing the girls toilets and change rooms.
• 3 July 2021: Males are not women. No male can ever be a woman. Penises do not belong in spaces where women and children are vulnerable, in a state of undress or asleep. If you are arguing for it then you are enabling male predators.
• 3 July 2021: I think everyone should be concerned about policies that enable male sexual predators and protect the rights of men at the expense of women and girls.
• 3 July 2021: I don’t really see what your personal opinion about Korean spas has to do with keeping men out of spaces where women and children are vulnerable.
• 3 July 2021: Males should be banned for very good reason from spaces where women and children are vulnerable, in a state of undress or asleep. It’s basic safeguarding. Don’t try the old trope “women do it too”, 98% of sexual abuse and sexual offences are committed by males.
• 3 July 2021: And while you might object to Korean culture, it’s a perfectly normal and acceptable activity in that country. It’s a fun thing to do with friends and family. Certain areas are sex segregated and there is no issue.
• 3 July 2021: Not the point. An adult male was naked in the women’s section, he got into a spa with female children present and encroached on their personal space. Males should not have access to spaces where women and children are vulnerable, asleep or in a state of undress.
• 3 July 2021: He was naked in the women’s section. He got into a jacuzzi with female children present with his penis exposed, and deliberately encroached on their personal space. You’re not doing yourself any favours by trying to defend him.
• 3 July 2021: He got into a jacuzzi with a female children present with his penis exposed.

• 3 July 2021: And further to that, why are his feelings about him wanting validation and wanting to get his penis out in front of little girls and women more important than the feelings of the women and girls?
• 3 July 2021: A person with a penis is a male. A man. And swinging said appendage around a woman’s change room makes him a creep. Women say NO. We do not consent to this. Any person who tells us to get over it or stay home or tries to shame us for saying NO enables sexual predators.
• 3 July 2021: Quite a few women in the group too. Never ceases to amaze me how women will participate in their own oppression.
• 3 July 2021: A mob surrounds, intimidates and attacks a woman because the mob believes that men have the right to expose their genitals to little girls and women. https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/1411391998649532418
• 3 July 2021: So women and girls are not allowed to experience discomfort seeing a strange male genitals? See what you are you are doing here Zach? You are eroding women’s boundaries. You are normalising women and girls having to put up with creepy blokes.
• 3 July 2021: I’m very sorry that happened to you. These stories are far too common.
• 3 July 2021: I don’t think the problems we are seeing with the implementation of gender theory into policy are “unintended”. The Denton’s document outlines clearly that they seek chaos and seek to undermine societal structures etc. They just don’t care about the impact of consequences.

• 3 July 2021: You are not insane. I am immersed in lobbying and advocating against gender identity ideology, and I frequently have through the looking glass moments. Society is being gaslit into accepting the authoritarianism of a new secular religion.

• 3 July 2021: My partner is an ex-cop who arrested a taxi driver in his fogged up cab parked in a back lane one night…a chicken was involved, a live one, and a whole sack full of them in the trunk ready to go. He was arrested, charged and convicted but no jail time.
• 3 July 2021: Bring out the banjo and really scare them off
• 3 July 2021: Yes that does make sense….I imagine you would have had to be very on point to pull the whole thing off.

• 3 July 2021: Interesting how they now accuse GC of being a belief system when transactivism is the contemporary secular religion - sacred cow class, holy trinity, high priests, heretics, enforcers and supernatural beliefs…

• 2 July 2021: We are a volunteer organisation that does not have a budget (we pay for running costs ourselves) and is run by women who work and run businesses and have other obligations. Nevertheless, George gave us an hour to respond to these accusations and published anyway. 2/

• 1 July 2021: I always wanted the surprise, I had to tell them not to say anything first thing every appointment. I got a lot of pressure to find out, but that usually makes me more stubborn. Having twins, one footling breech, without knowing the sex caused great excitement for the midwives.
• 1 July 2021: *I should say “did not find out the sex while baby was in utero until baby was born”. We made a point of not finding out, the midwives were really excited because most people find out these days, so it was a surprise.

• 1 July 2021: As another of twins, wondering if your own twins are daughters…how will you explain to them that you fought against the right to believe sex matters, especially for women?

• 1 July 2021: The root cause is biological males entering spaces where young girls are vulnerable and in a state of undress. The whole of society knows this is wrong. This is why males are excluded from such spaces.

• 1 July 2021: Such as taking into consideration there is a male with a trans identity on the editorial board of Teen Vogue, TV is a hotbed of SJW cancellers, publisher Conde Nast is swimming in the kool-aid, and anything they write must be considered from that perspective.
• 1 July 2021: Sorry, my prior comment was directed at those who instantly dismiss any criticism of gender theory as right wing bigotry!
• 1 July 2021: Yes, but if you have the ability to think critically you know how to judge the veracity, weight and credibility of such information.
• 30 June 2021: That sort of comment simply simply demonstrates me a person’s limited intellect and inability to think critically.
• 30 June 2021: Well yes, but that’s what it it is to “think critically”…be able to consider the article, the source, the writer, the references and evaluate for yourself based on the wealth and breadth of knowledge you have acquired over years from reading and learning widely.
• 30 June 2021: …anathema instead of an opportunity to consider or debate, our collective intelligence is reducing and it results in fearful small-mindedness and an inability to think critically. Does not bode well for the future.
• 30 June 2021: …it concerns me deeply that people are not able to read an article and evaluate it on its merits rather than the source or the writer. It’s instantly dismissed if it doesn’t come from a pre-approved source, people are being taught to fear unknowns, dangerous ideas are an
• 30 June 2021: I agree, I knew media was biased, but the gender wars truly opened my eyes to how the narrative is controlled and shaped, and how dissent is silenced. I feel fortunate to have been educated before critical theory took over the academy and have always read widely…

• 30 June 2021: That people are protesting policies that enable men to access women’s toilets, change rooms and overnight accommodation based on their “gender identity” is not “transphobia”! It basic bloody safeguarding, parents and women are right to be alarmed by this.

They can use gender, as per guidelines from the Attorney General b/c sex isn’t important apparently and sex/gender can be used “interchangeably although conceptually distinct”. https://www.ag.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-03/AustralianGovernmentGuidelinesontheRecognitionofSexandGender.pdf

• 26 June 2021: I would argue the rules have been broken. The IOC has said their own Consensus is a live document & subject to new evidence & research. They haven’t kept to their own rules - they KNOW about Hilton & Harper research. They’ve chosen to ignore it against their own policy.

• 25 June 2021: Manumua has been offered the "tripartite" position (#14 position) - it always exists, it is discretionary and offered to the host country or another country without an athlete in the competition.
• 25 June 2021: I'm horrified that Worley's singular "lived experience" (along with Harper and Phillips) is being used to destroy women's sports for all women and girls, and apparently successfully lobbying/consulting to IOC for self-id as the only requirement to compete in the female category!
• 25 June 2021: Oh right, I understand they was angry b/c too weak to compete - not sure surgery was to compete or otherwise, but had to get exemption for testosterone supplements (for energy/strength) to compete in the women's - hence the fight to now remove ALL hormonal/surgical requirements!

• 25 June 2021: That is a clear error of law in my view. Grounds for appeal.
• 25 June 2021: It’s absolutely clear that biological females cannot be discriminated against on basis of gender identity, as expressly differentiated from biological males!! How on earth did they manage to misinterpret that?!?!

• 25 June 2021: They don’t care
• 25 June 2021: They have manufactured a presumption that gender identity takes precedence over sex where sex is relevant. No Australian case law or statute supports that assertion.

• 25 June 2021: In the actual decision they do not use “female” to refer to 46XY people. They made a point of that. You are right to point it out, because correct, reality-based language is critical in this debate.
• 25 June 2021: I didn’t say that. I said she would get the Oceania spot. If she takes that spot, she would be in the competition, whether #9 or #13. Instead she doesn’t get to compete at all, because Hubbard is there.
• 25 June 2021: While this is extremely exciting, I’m looking forward to the future Netflix series “Women Won’t Wheest” when it comes out. Will be compelling.
• 25 June 2021: Incorrect. If Hubbard was not competing, #8 would move to #7, Charisma Tarrant would move to #8 freeing up the Oceania spot, which would go to Manumua. That's how it works.

• 24 June 2021: Hubbard can go back to being Gavin 4 years after competing as per the IOC Guidelines. The IOC Consensus are a farce and flawed policy.
• 24 June 2021: And this research was collated by the transactivist who successfully lobbied the IOC to include males in the female category on the basis of his bad science in 2015. So Harper has now contradicted his own evidence.
• 24 June 2021: It’s an absolute betrayal of women and girls that our category was destroyed on the basis of a male’s demands and an absence of evidence. We now HAVE evidence to demonstrate male performance advantage, yet the IOC has chosen to disregard it.
• 24 June 2021: No they weren’t Charlotte. Here is the transactivist Joanna Harper - a radiologist and student - who pushed through the 2015 policy embarrassingly trying to defend the poor quality data the IOC relied on. The data is bad science. And there as a “paucity of evidence”. https://twitter.com/fairplaywomen/status/1407637621480767491
• 24 June 2021: Then we would have men, and men. Women are not able to compete.
• 24 June 2021: That is factually untrue Charlotte. Semenya is biologically male - undescended testes and Y chromosomes. Due to ambiguous genitalia Caster was assigned female at birth. This is clearly explained in the CAS decision.
• 24 June 2021: Hubbard started competing at 35, and testosterone advantage begins in utero. Your argument does has no merit.
• 24 June 2021: Charlotte hasn’t read the decision, clearly but professes to understand what it says and completely gets it wrong.
• 24 June 2021: You haven’t read the decision, have you Charlotte? Bodies play sport, not identities. Caster’s condition means Caster is biologically male, and has an unfair biological performance advantage over females, this is clearly explained in great detail in the decision.
• 24 June 2021: June Eastman is not a “child”, June is an adult biological male who is competing in the female category, despite having an overwhelming performance advantage due to male physiology.
• 24 June 2021: Only a matter of time before we see men playing on the women’s teams. Enjoy this while it lasts.
• 24 June 2021: We are allowed to be angry
• 24 June 2021: No one does. The definitions were absurd - “suppression practice is a practice that is suppressive” gender identity is “person’s personal sense of their personal preferences”.

• 24 June 2021: Why did they have to make a rule? On what basis? If there was only one or two males who were likely to compete, how could such a oppressed and vulnerable group have the power and authority to make such a dramatic change to policy?
• 24 June 2021: This interview with radiologist Joanna Harper, a male who claims a trans identity, who spearheaded the erasure of the female sports category at the Olympics proves precisely why transactivists have pushed their demands into policy by stealth and fight for #nodebate https://twitter.com/fairplaywomen/status/1407637621480767491

• 21 June 2021: Jess Hill is a renowned & celebrated Australian journalist who has done outstanding work on domestic violence & abuse. She appears to be very unaware of the global situation of men identifying their way into women’s spaces & resulting in women self-excluding & being harmed. https://twitter.com/jessradio/status/1406743574222303232
• 21 June 2021: Men who claim a trans identity are just as dangerous to women as any other male. There are men going into those spaces and they ARE harming, abusing and raping women. Women are self-excluding and missing out because of the presence of men. Are you really not aware of this?
• 21 June 2021: They don’t have to. They just need to claim/declare a “female” identity.
• 20 June 2021: That even ONE woman or girl is suffering needless distress to assuage an accused criminal male’s subjective feelings about himself is one too many. Not to mention the possible legal implications of being compelled to lie on the stand to save someone’s feelings.
• 20 June 2021: Why is Willoughby famous in the first place? Can any British friends inform me?
• 20 June 2021: I am a lawyer & in my role as a women’s advocate, a victim-survivor reached out to me about her distress when, having testified THREE TIMES against the man who attacked & tried to kill her (estimated to have killed about 30 women) had to refer to him as she/her the last time.
• 20 June 2021: ….unkind, and that men actually are women and deserve access to our spaces, services and rights on a mere declaration fails to recognise the women being affected, and demonstrates very little knowledge of the current culture war raging over gender. http://Noconflicttheysaid.org
• 20 June 2021: There are many women who are suffering harm and abuse (even rape) because males are now identifying their way into spaces where women are vulnerable - such as prisons, DV shelters, sex assault support groups, Lesbian groups etc. To simply imply any woman who won’t say TWAW is….
• 20 June 2021: @garethgemini @sdp_tim @Firebird_psych @AramintaMooncr1 @ShonaghDillon And therein lies the problem with the Woke - when they do not have substantive argument they think ad hominem attacks will win them the argument
• 20 June 2021: The estimated 100000+ women killed by femicide globally, the one woman a week in Australia, the two women a week in the UK clearly demonstrate there is an epidemic of MVAW across the world.
• 20 June 2021: But your anecdotes hold weight, isn’t that right?
• 20 June 2021: What “public services” are women “hijacking”?
• 20 June 2021: I will blame the men that abuse, rape and kill women, children and other men. To pretend that domestic abuse is not overwhelmingly perpetrated by MALES fundamentally fails to address the problem. And why are you expecting WOMEN to “cooperate” and fix the problem?
• 20 June 2021: I think they are forgetting that if a woman has an unwanted pregnancy, being handed a pamphlet with a list of harms is unlikely to dissuade her.
• 20 June 2021: No Howard, I just said I’m not going to waste my time and resources on an MRA sock account. Good bye.

• 20 June 2021: I can block whomever I like. I am not obliged to waste my time with anyone who demands it. I have read enough on the debunked parental alienation theory to know it is devastating for women and children in Australia. It is also UNLAWFUL to rely on it in Australia.
• 20 June 2021: We should not have to constantly reshare our trauma to have credible opinions. I have written a paper arguing for a statutory tort of domestic violence in the context of family law. DV is overwhelmingly committed by males against women, children & other males. It is a fact.

• 19 June 2021: I’ve thought very hard on this one. I would not expect the athletes to resist, but they did of their own volition, I would support them 100%.
• 19 June 2021: IOC is right on board with this.
• 19 June 2021: Yes, you do have a point. But women get castigated for not playing along, and I wonder if some are genuinely brainwashed into accepting them as stunning and brave. I suspect until there is a serious groundswell of support many women athletes will be too afraid to take a stand…
• 19 June 2021: Some men enjoy transgressing women’s boundaries.
• 19 June 2021: It never ceases to amaze me how some women will actively participate in their own oppression, and this sort of behaviour merely transfers it to the younger generation
• 19 June 2021: ….what you are wittering about.
• 19 June 2021: It is & remains undisputed common knowledge…..at least up until 5 minutes ago when gender theory squirmed its way into policy, procedure & language by stealth and by fiat & tries to posit it’s a “new conversation”, when no one outside the academy or Twitter has the faintest idea
• 19 June 2021: I’m not making excuses. To become an elite athlete requires extraordinary sacrifice and dedication. Why should those women have to step away from competing because men are making unreasonable demands on them? The onus is on those men to prove why they should be included.
• 19 June 2021: Women are not a “definition”. No matter how much you try to obfuscate and contort language, nothing will change the fact that humans cannot change sex.

• 18 June 2021: 6500 differences between male and female, 3000 of which are observable. Funnily enough, women are able to see beyond the performance of sex stereotypes to clock someone’s sex. 50 years of gender theory don’t overcome 2M years of human evolution.
• 18 June 2021: Almost 35 weeks, about 2kg each, but they couldn't breathe on their own and we had to get feeding established. It was a long, hard month in NICU. I am ever so grateful to the Royal Women's Hospital Randwick who took such incredible care of us.

I began speaking out for their rights, & the rights of little girls everywhere. I will never, ever stop fighting for them all. pic.twitter.com/sM8LmhtZzY
• 17 June 2021: Eight years ago I became a mother when I gave birth to these two beautiful creatures. It was transformative and fundamental to my experience of womanhood. My daughters gave me the confidence to have the courage of my convictions and to become the woman I am today. pic.twitter.com/qcsp07nwfq
• 17 June 2021: We have been polite, patient, persuasive for years, willing to engage & pleading for support. Risking reputation, livelihood & wellbeing. Frankly, it’s a credit to women we have maintained that position. Now we are fed up, we demand action & accountability - that is not hostile.
• 17 June 2021: And do not dare impute to women the “rancour” of this debate. The disgraceful threats, deplatforming, silencing, intimidation, reputation and character assassination, stalking and assaults have only come from one side. Don’t you dare put that behaviour on us.
• 17 June 2021: This is fundamentally a collision of rights, after years of being told to “be kind” and “be accommodating” and “no debate”, women have bloody well had enough. Including tolerating those who have completely abandoned their paid posts to defend women such as @fawcettsociety
• 17 June 2021: Maybe we should. Just like the Ladies did at the Pond in London?

• 16 June 2021: Thank you so much Heather! If ever I have moments of fear or vulnerability, I always think of the women who came before us and those who cannot speak up & do it anyway. It is an egregious betrayal of women that those who are paid & protected to speak for us, have failed to do so.
• 16 June 2021: Lumping women in with aggressive, abusive men, while we have been fighting for our rights for years, then showing up to play peace-making neutral diplomat is too little, too late. Women have been begging @fawcettsociety to stand up for them for years. Where WERE you?
• 16 June 2021: What an absolutely disingenuous response. Women refusing to capitulate to the other side’s demands, patiently and politely repeatedly refuting their arguments with evidence, then enduring smearing & threats is NOT behaving in a “toxic & aggressive” manner.

• 16 June 2021: Bingo. There is no way to explain it except by stereotypes and feelings. While someone should not be discriminated against for performing opposite sex stereotypes, there is no presumption that gender identity must displace sex whenever sex is relevant.

• 15 June 2021: What a extraordinary article from @nzherald .

• 15 June 2021: Yes
• 15 June 2021: We don’t stand for it. Unfortunately we have ACON (our version of Stonewall) doing it all by stealth with the help of useful handmaidens like our Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins who declines to define what a woman is.
• 15 June 2021: Does this free speech extend to women who reject the idea that men should be welcomed into female sports, prisons, DV shelters, breastfeeding support groups, toilets and other spaces where we are vulnerable, simply because they say they are a woman?
• 15 June 2021: And things are being made even more difficult with Australian govt departments and organisations saying a woman is “anyone who identifies as one”, including the Aust. Academy of Sciences. How are they going to do research if they don’t know what a woman is?
• 15 June 2021: Further to this morning, Sports Integrity Commission @ProtectingSport accepted my letter, waiting for a phone call in response to my request for a meeting. Let’s hope “protecting sports” includes protecting the female category.

• 14 June 2021: It’s an offence and affront to women to demand that we indulge and include a person who performs parodies of feminine stereotypes usually while acting like an entitled male. No self-respecting woman is going to “be kind” about that.

• 14 June 2021: Pride in Sport, Pride in Diversity (workplace) and Pride in Health & Well-being. ACON has been very busy being paid by the government to lobby govt, private/health/law/education sectors, so members can then pay to embed the ideology for them, and then get assessed for compliance.
• 14 June 2021: We’re all confused Chilli. Its deliberate.
• 14 June 2021: Yes indeed. And if they come into conflict, in practice, the TRAs have effectively embedded the presumption that GI displaces sex and takes precedence.

• 14 June 2021: I resigned from my well-paid law firm job to fight this. My advocacy work was interfering with my paid work, but my loyalty/attention was divided and I felt it wasn’t fair to my employer. There are many women making huge personal sacrifices and taking major risks to fight.

• 13 June 2021: And Gymnastics Australia has just implemented policies that allow males into the change rooms, toilets and overnight accommodation with girls and women. All they have to do is “identify as a woman”. The cognitive dissonance is mind blowing.
• 13 June 2021: You are asking me to do it, I do, then you reject it. Troll.
• 13 June 2021: Why is it “sensible”? Why is it “conjecture and assumption”? What is your authority? Why are you prepared to betray your daughters and force them to compete against males in their sports? What is your evidence for supporting the notion males can compete in the female category?
• 13 June 2021: They seem to be forgetting this works both ways, Forstarter has confirmed that.
• 13 June 2021: British Medical Journal is as credible as they come. What exactly is satisfactory in relation to credibility for you? Or are you confusing “well-respected and supported” with “something that I personally agree with” or “something that supports gender theory”?

• 13 June 2021: DARVO much? Prior is on fire with the projection since Forstarter.
• 13 June 2021: Why? We are human beings with a sex that either male or female and immutable, but sex stereotypes (the performance or non-performance of which is “gender identity” as per gender theory) are culturally relative, and regressive and oppressive for females.
• 13 June 2021: Yes it is. Look up the definition. It’s based on name, dress, mannerisms and “personal sense of personal preferences” (whatever that means). What are they but based on stereotypes?

• 12 June 2021: The foundational premise of gender identity is that it is based on sex stereotypes - that is exactly what it says in the Yogyakarta principles definition they are so fond of. Further that you are “born in the wrong body” if you do not perform those sex based stereotypes…
• 12 June 2021: Yes, they often explain things in several different ways in decisions.
• 12 June 2021: The guidance is clearly stating the very foundational premise of gender identity is not to be taught to children.
• 12 June 2021: This paragraph essentially outlines that gender identity should not be taught.

• 12 June 2021: I’m aware of that. But what you are saying is protected is indoctrinating children into a belief about gender identity, which the most recent policy forbids.

• 12 June 2021: Such tactics are major TRA own goals now. A number of anonymous “throw-away” accounts did complain to one of my employers - they were angered at such “cowardly” “character assassination”. Peak-transed harder and faster. Bullies and harassers won’t win, Prior.
• 12 June 2021: These guidelines, published a month later, effectively forbid the teaching of gender ideology - children cannot be taught that failure to conform to sex stereotypes means they have a different gender identity, or their body/personality is wrong https://www.gov.uk/guidance/plan-your-relationships-sex-and-health-curriculum#using-external-agencies
• 12 June 2021: I’m a lawyer, I’m aware that. “Gender identity” is not a protected characteristic under the law.
• 12 June 2021: That is against UK Education Department policy.

• 10 June 2021: Please provide receipts of this “harassment”. Or is “harassment” something that I don’t like or I don’t agree with, and when someone asks me why I feel that way I can’t answer so I shout ad hominems and threaten their livelihood, but I can’t do that anymore?

• 10 June 2021: Because if we can’t even define or defend the foundation of the category (woman is adult human female) then the rest of it is pointless.
• 10 June 2021: We all know inclusion of males in a female category means exclusion of females.
• 10 June 2021: But post-op isn't the issue, its artificial reduction of hormone levels and sex self-id.
• 10 June 2021: Good point, perhaps "interest" would have been better than "support"
• 10 June 2021: Same with the ABC in Australia. Recently had a segment on Lesbians where a biological male discussed his penis & having sex with other penis-owners, then said they was woman & Lesbian. All of us who wrote to object got the same response about being "inclusive", "identity", "TWAW"
• 10 June 2021: Yet you refused to interview her prior to the decision, now that she has won you are showing support?

• 10 June 2021: Yep, I've also had anonymous accounts send threats, character assassinations and attempts to get me fired from my previous job. Fortunately, all it did was peak my former employers. Ha.
• 10 June 2021: Astonishing that they say that, when other parts of the TRA movement are militant about medically and surgically transitioning children, yet adult athlete males competing in sports should not be forced to transition due to the physical toll?

• 9 June 2021: I think you have a serious point Jim. I am very concerned at the confident tone of these TRAs regarding the new IOC Consensus on this issue. It will be an egregious betrayal of women if it is based on sex self-id. It will also contravene the CAS Semenya decision.

• 5 June 2021: It’s grossly insulting to impose ideologically fabricated categories on the woman, a proud butch Lesbian, who started the Stonewall riot. Being a butch Lesbian I doubt she identified with female sex stereotypes of the time. Your categories don’t make sense.
• 5 June 2021: It’s a very hard issue to explain to a newbie because it is so insane. Sports is usually a good place to start because it’s easy and the visuals work in our favour. Or ask the Staniland question.

• 5 June 2021: The Bradenberg trials are a great example of this. The Nazi Wife Grudge case in particular - the judge was put on trial for prosecuting a man under Third Reich law, but it offended human rights so those that brought and prosecuted complaints were tried post-WW2.

• 31 May 2021: No. I am not a “person who menstruates” - that is made up language, no one has ever said that until the gender ideologues got just forcing their ideas on everyone else. I am a woman. Stop referring to me as a body process, it’s dehumanising.

• 30 May 2021: A person with a lot of opinions and not much idea. Anyone who champions the discredited idea of “parental alienation” (invented by a paedophile apologist who then killed themselves), which is now unlawful in many jurisdictions - despite continuing to be used by abusive males to
• 30 May 2021: Astonished that a bloke who is an actual walking red flag gets 2000+ likes for his inane ramblings
• 30 May 2021: But what about women being violent? But what about the 13 year old boys? You are pretending the fact that males commit the vast majority of domestic violence against women, children & other men, & the violence is more severe, more frequent & results in far more injuries & death
• 30 May 2021: Domestic abuse most certainly is a sexed issue. To pretend otherwise by deploying “whataboutery” is a disingenuous position.
• 30 May 2021: We have seven daughters between us, including a set of twins each. And his wife is one of my oldest friends. He is most definitely a very decent, honest and hard-working man. While we don’t agree on everything, I think he will do a fine job representing his electorate.
• 30 May 2021: And yet, transactivists regularly call for the destruction of books they don’t like so what’s your point? I don’t believe in gender identity ideology, but nor do I call for books to be burned.
• 30 May 2021: Thanks to @RitaPanahi and @rowandean on @SkyNewsAust on Outsiders for interviewing my very good friend’s husband David Layzell @thenationals who just got voted into NSW Parliament - needless to say there have been some very fiery conversations over bottles of red over the years!

• 26 May 2021: Likely why many families will stay away. No parent wants their child to see a bunch of kink fetishists in broad daylight. Just...no.

• 25 May 2021: They use “family violence” in Australia. It’s not a bloody game of Twister. Call it what it is “male violence against women and children”.
• 25 May 2021: https://www.genderhq.org/search?q=Puberty%20blockers
• 25 May 2021: No. The right of males to be included in female sports DOES NOT trump the right of girls and young women to be safe and have fair competition.
• 25 May 2021: Sorry, the psychological impact on girls being sidelined in their own sports takes precedence. One male competitor has the ability to steal the opportunities from many girls.
• 25 May 2021: Disagree. It absolutely is about competition! Why should girls have to give up the thrill of victory to validate a male’s inner feelings about his gender? No.
• 25 May 2021: Through the looking glass....and what Alice found there. We are all Alice right now.

• 25 May 2021: And accepting biological reality appears to be akin to the Spanish Inquisition because literal violence
• 25 May 2021: You cannot just impute meaning to the law to suit yourself, and redefine words that are defined in law. This breaks so many principles of statutory interpretation I can’t even deal.
• 24 May 2021: Refrain from patronising me. Still haven’t answered the question.
• 24 May 2021: That is precisely the position that the males with a trans identity argue for their inclusion - wanting validation and feeling excluded. Female athletes are arguing on the basis of observable male biological advantage. Don’t her feelings count in garnering public support?
• 24 May 2021: Don’t impute anger to me, and don’t patronise me either. It’s very obvious you are using those tactics to avoid answering the question, because you won’t. Because you know it will sound absurd because you will have to admit what you are demanding we believe about you.
• 24 May 2021: They’re not legal definitions, that definition does not exist in commonwealth or state statutes. They are in the Attorney-General’s guidelines - which need to be withdrawn.
• 24 May 2021: Why aren’t you answering the question? Is it that you cannot answer it therefore resort to attacking me? Typical and boring. Gender isn’t a “thing”, don’t push your ideology on me.
• 24 May 2021: Answer the question snd stop putting this back on me.
• 24 May 2021: So you are demanding we believe you about your “gender”? What is “gender” in your opinion? And what is it about your “gender” the world must believe? I’ve been cognisant of my SEX pretty much since I can remember, I am a female.
• 24 May 2021: I wonder if that would be a violation of IP law?
• 24 May 2021: No, please explain what you mean. “Deserve to be believed” about what? If you are demanding to be “believed”, what is it that you expect us to “believe”?
• 24 May 2021: Yes, I try to be mindful to be open to being persuaded if the argument holds up, along with primary evidence. I have not been persuaded by the other side.

• 20 May 2021: Does the UK Equality Act even say the world “trans”?
• 20 May 2021: Indeed it is. Melbourne is Australia’s capital of woke, with Sydney’s Inner West running a close second.
• 20 May 2021: @StephenKing Did you actually read what she wrote? What”did” she say? Was that she says she knows and loves trans people? Or is that what she said has more to do with women having rights than people who are trans.

• 20 May 2021: We can have an absolute field day with this!
• 20 May 2021: Bingo. That’s what happens when activists are allowed to draft legislation - the wording is extraordinary and like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s Australia’s version of “Stonewall Law” except it’s gotten so far as to be enacted (that will happen next year).
• 20 May 2021: ...cause harm by simply “affirming” GI or put themselves at risk. The Act is a very poorly drafted, ideologically informed, reckless piece of legislative drafting that is going to cause far more problems than it seeks to solve.
• 20 May 2021: ..the kool-aid. So many kids in distress are not getting appropriate support for their issues, they are only receiving care for their distress about gender. For any ethical practitioners this is problematic, many want to help these kids and can’t now, as they do not want to....
• 20 May 2021: ...girls who grow up to be L are NINETEEN times more likely to be GNC! The other issue that arises is many practitioners are afraid of litigation or complaints, so they avoid patients presenting with GD, which essentially reduces the pool of clinicians to those who have drunk...
• 20 May 2021: ...absurd and circular (“suppression practice is a practice that is suppression”). There is an inherent fundamental conflict that suppressive practice for “gender identity” is potentially affirmation for LGB sexual orientation - as many GNC kids grow up to be LGB. For example...
• 20 May 2021: Dr. Phillip Morris has been very concerned about this issue, he has been writing about and lobbying in favour of a therapeutic basis for some years now. As a general opinion potentially it could, to my mind, the huge problem with the Act is that critical definitions are...

• 20 May 2021: If it was so succesful at “saving lives” why aren’t they trumpeting the data? Where are all the suicide stats of the kids who weren’t able to access medical interventions? If this was the case, why didn’t we know about this suicide epidemic prior to 2015?
• 19 May 2021: What human rights are they asking for specifically? First time I’ve seen concerns about homelessness & poverty....up until now it’s all been lobbying to get their worldview into policy, legislation & education, medicalising children, and telling Lesbians & women to shut up.

The idea that woman is not a biological entity, a sexed body, but an identity that can fit any kind of body.. @msediewyatt https://www.spectator.com.au/2021/05/on-chestfeeding/
• 19 May 2021: The only time I’ve really felt anything is watching my daughters play....it was thrilling as they were leading & they’d had a history of getting smashed. I look forward to their games every weekend now they are playing, not just faffing about. Emotional connection helps 😊

• 18 May 2021: OMG I have just submitted supplementary answers to the parliamentary inquiry for NSW to ban on teaching “gender fluidity” in schools (due in 7 minutes) & I used Prof. Freedman as example of how women are deplatformed & harassed - now she has been vindicated!

• 17 May 2021: This is very similar toAustralia’s ABC, that to date has not made a SINGLE mention of Keira Bell, or any criticism of gender ideology or its impact on women and children. None. It’s all puff pieces and “brave and stunning” and child drag queens called “Candy Featherbottom”.
• 17 May 2021: Yes, follow the money. But I remain confident that a small group of determined individuals, acting collectively, can change the world - and this is an ideology, eventually they all fall, particularly when based on such absurd and nebulous ideas.

• 15 May 2021: Women have been quite successful at crowd funding litigation matters for other women, it’s almost as if 1000s of women around the world scraping together $5 and $20s can make a difference.

• 13 May 2021: It means you are doing something right.
• 13 May 2021: No, they just have nothing else to counter with. Women in Australia, myself included, just accused of “histrionics”, “beat up” & “unhelpful” for politely & calmly objecting to “chestfeeding”, & defending themselves against complaints for saying “mothers” instead of “parents”.

• 13 May 2021: I think it’s more ideology and the devaluing of the reproductive role of women and mothers, more attempts to further disembody us. If they are making such policy about breastfeeding, yet don’t even understand how it works, then they are not the appropriate people to do so.
• 13 May 2021: And here they are, doing exactly that, in another Australian state.

• 13 May 2021: I don’t think any of these people have actually ever been present at a birth. For a start, no doctor records birth on a birth certificate. As a parent, you have six weeks to fill in a form and send it in to the Department, then they send you back the Birth Certificate.

• 7 May 2021: Referring to women as “birthing parents”, “gestating or pregnant people”, to breastfeeding as “chestfeeding”. Why is it suddenly shameful to speak of WOMEN & BREASTS? It is dehumanising & harmful to erase the concept of “mother” & “woman” from human reproduction. 2/

• 2 May 2021: This is why I will never stop advocating for the integrity of girls sports. Our coach had a full scholarship to a top US college on the basis of her sport. She went to the Olympics. Now she is inspiring a group of little Australian girls to do their best as a team on the field.
• 2 May 2021: The parents were elated (and emotionally wrung out). The girls came so close to victory, leading the way most of the game. Importantly, their competitive spirit has now been awakened. All thanks to our magical coach who dropped out of the sky like a soccer fairy godmother.
• 2 May 2021: The girls had their second game this morning. Total nail biter, we parents were on the edge the entire game. Final score 2-2 (even with a slightly biased umpire - a dad from the other team). Scored! Twice! And nearly 3 more times! Did you see that mum?!?! The girls were elated.
• 2 May 2021: Friday afternoon training. Dear Daughter, somewhat stroppily, pipes up "So how come you are our coach now? Did you go to the Olympics or something?" An unexpected response: "Yes. I competed at the Olympics on the USA women's soccer team." Stunned silence ensued.

• 1 May 2021: Yes up until 12 I think. I’d be happy to get her that far, then switch to AFL or touch footy.
• 1 May 2021: It was her choice to play! She loves it, although she’s often reluctant to tackle - even though she is bigger and faster than the boys (at the moment, that will change of course). The boys are not afraid. The sex differences are real even at that age.
• 1 May 2021: I’ve got three little girls. I spend quite a bit of time in the Ladies - babies, toilet training etc. If I knew there was not proper toilet provision for women I would avoid that location. As it is, we choose to go places where I know the facilities are safe and clean.

• 30 April 2021: It’s not normal for a woman or girl to menstruate annually.

• 30 April 2021: Yes!! It’s fantastic - first series stays true to book, but the other seasons are great. The weird thing is Canada is where the handmaids seek refuge, but in reality its the country now systematically destroying women’s sex-based rights...
• 30 April 2021: Do you even know what it is?
• 30 April 2021: Ordinary Australians are getting very fed up with woke orthodoxy
• 30 April 2021: ...information they provided to the panel in my own testimony by referencing the relevant statutes. I hope the parents here approach the school with the actual law and inform them the mother of the trans identified male student has given them the wrong information.
• 30 April 2021: Yes indeed. Happened here in Aus when parents at a parliamentary inquiry said their son with a trans identity was allowed to attend a single sex girls school and they told the principal that, however the law protects SS schools and the following day I corrected the wrong...
• 30 April 2021: Aren’t they supposed to have single sex toilet provision after 8 years old? Wouldn’t change rooms extend to toilets? Or have I got that wrong?
• 30 April 2021: But doesn’t English law protect girls facilities in an educational institution?
• 30 April 2021: I feel like there are now so many of us on the “outcast” side (and let’s face it, it’s way more fun being a rebel) that it’s looking more and more attractive to many. The other side is simply rather dogmatic and joyless these days, despite the rainbow branding.
• 30 April 2021: Yes the traditional platforms one would expect to amplify and investigate an issue relating to the rights and safety of women and girls are stubbornly refusing to cover this issue. I suspect once it’s “safe”, they’ll be on board, pretending they didn’t betray us.
• 30 April 2021: I had a surprising but very welcome invitation to speak to Alan Jones for the second time this week on @SkyNewsAust to discuss the impact of inclusion policies on women and girls sports https://youtu.be/hcAfLrjrYtM @SWS_australasia @SaveWomensSport
• 29 April 2021: Follow the money with @MrMennoTweets - guest blogger on Jennifer Bilek’s @bjportraits The 11th Hour blog @11thBlog .

• 29 April 2021: ‘Sex is real and important...It is important for women’s rights, single-sex services & women’s & girls’ sports to be able to be clear about sex… We can be polite about pronouns, but this does not mean that we need to pretend that sex doesn’t matter.’ https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/04/29/why-maya-forstater-must-win/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
• 29 April 2021: And after today’s effort, apparently akin to Holocaust denialism
• 29 April 2021: Thank you! Very surreal doing it from my desk at home.
• 29 April 2021: Yep! I spoke to an insurance litigation expert, it’s a tricky one.
• 29 April 2021: Wouldn’t matter in the slightest, because if someone called me he/him it wouldn’t even register they were referring to me
• 29 April 2021: For those of you in Australia, I’m talking to Alan Jones for the second time this week on @SkyNewsAust about @SWS_australasia at 8.20pm AEST tonight!
• 29 April 2021: I almost feel sorry for counsel, they essentially have nothing substantive to argue with
• 28 April 2021: The silent majority do not agree with gender identity politics. How many policies and statutes have to be enacted, how many women and children harmed, rights lost, institutions captured, parents jailed, before this comes to an end? https://4w.pub/identity-crisis-conformity-and-preference-falsification/
• 28 April 2021: If that’s not a “tell”, I don’t know what is
• 28 April 2021: Extremely telling that when it comes to succession, power and property, suddenly they acknowledge the reality that sex supersedes gender identity.
• 28 April 2021: Next step is to provide hearing witnesses with “questions on notice”, they have 21 days to respond. Then the inquiry panel consider the evidence from the hearings, submissions and questions on notice to collate a report for parliament.
• 28 April 2021: Oh my goodness Nadine, I am so sorry. What a terrible thing to happen, my heart goes out to you.
• 28 April 2021: Breaking the gender binary! 😂
• 28 April 2021: I would LOVE to have an International Conference - wouldn’t that just be the best thing ever!!

Will our govt. take this seriously? https://thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2021/04/28/domestic-violence-terrorism-2/

• 27 April 2021: 😂
• 26 April 2021: That is what I tell my little girls. Find another mummy or grandma. They’ll help you. Since we had a three year old raped by a shopping centre security guard I do not suggest men in uniform.

• 26 April 2021: We say “a few roos loose in the top paddock” or “a few sangers short of a picnic” in Australia
• 26 April 2021: We’ve had reports of men identifying as women and being put on locked psych wards here in Australia, apparently - the main concern being his pronouns and not his history of violence against women
• 26 April 2021: In this battle, we have been largely ignored by MSM and women’s media platforms. Believe me, we’ve tried. We’re very grateful to Alan Jones for giving us a platform. We’ve had a large influx of subscribers to SWS overnight, so we have to take our supporters where we find them!
• 26 April 2021: Thank you Graeme, that’s a beautiful analogy
• 26 April 2021: Thank you Michael!

• 26 April 2021: Thanks Edie. I never thought I’d ever find myself speaking to Alan Jones either!
• 26 April 2021: Speaking to Alan Jones on @SkyNewsAust about @SWS_australasia at 8.20pm AEST.
• 26 April 2021: Personally, I am really dismayed at the high profile women in sport who have benefiting enormously from policies encouraging girls in sport, but now publicly support the inclusion of males in the female sports category.

• 25 April 2021: Good luck this week, Maya! Sending you strength and solidarity from Australia.
• 25 April 2021: That’s not the point. They are for disabled people, disability advocates fought very hard to have their needs accommodated. If GNC/trans-identified people don’t want to use the toilets allocated to their sex they can feel free to advocate for their own w/o taking away from women.
• 25 April 2021: Thank you for the correction. Ford, as in the infamous Canadian politician brothers Ford?
• 25 April 2021: Stop saying “individuals”. It’s offensive to women, and overall embarrassing for anyone who uses such ridiculous newspeak.
• 25 April 2021: Oh no! I had not heard that. Devastating. This is EXACTLY what happens when women are not considered and men are treated as the default. @CCriadoPerez
• 25 April 2021: Have you ever tried taking three small children into a stall? It doesn’t work.
• 25 April 2021: I advocate for women and girls. We have borne the burnt of trans-inclusive policies in sports, prisons, DV shelters, rape crisis centres, support groups, toilets and change rooms, our very language etc. It’s time for men to stand up.
• 25 April 2021: Premier of Ontario refers to expectant mothers as “pregnant individuals”. https://twitter.com/celliottability/status/1385573234028994564
• 25 April 2021: Unfortunately, there are a number of examples where the men’s remain intact, and women are rebranded “gender neutral”. The simpler solution would be to do it the other way around, the males with a trans identity demanding access are males, after all.
• 25 April 2021: Do you not understand that women having sex specific spaces, such as toilets, is important for us to be able to participate in public life? This goes to equality. Public conveniences for women are about 100 years old, first ones were burnt down by men https://www.bbc.com/news/world-41999792
• 25 April 2021: Please feel free to do that yourself
• 25 April 2021: So you’re okay with men being able to enter the women and girls toilets?
• 25 April 2021: Males with a trans identity are not biological women. They do not have the same needs and bodily processes and functions that women have.
• 25 April 2021: It is quite clear you are male and have very little understanding of women. Particularly our need to have women-only spaces when we are vulnerable - such as toilets and change rooms. That you fail to understand that, demonstrates a complete lack of empathy and understanding.
• 25 April 2021: Me too!
• 25 April 2021: I suspect you are male
• 25 April 2021: Because women need single sex spaces.
• 24 April 2021: The fact over 90% of CSE and sexual assaults are committed by males is probably why mothers with babies & young children get defensive in a space where they are vulnerable - it’s a reasonable reaction. It’s a reflection of society, no need to take it personally.
• 24 April 2021: No. Equality is not equal floor space for provision of toilets for men and women. Cubicles vs urinals, we take longer to go, our clothes are more complicated & take more time, we deal with menstruation, post-partum issues, incontinence 3xs higher than men, small children.
• 24 April 2021: Those laws need to be fortified as well. Females only.
• 24 April 2021: That is a ridiculous argument. We don’t have strangers coming into our home.
• 24 April 2021: Hardly. If these are males with a trans identity they belong in the men’s.
• 24 April 2021: Perhaps. But if the person is male, that’s where he belongs.
• 24 April 2021: Why should people with disabilities be expected to accommodate an able-bodied person in their facilities?
• 24 April 2021: http://Noconflicttheysaid.org
• 24 April 2021: I have no issue with gender neutral facilities existing, but in addition to the women’s facilities. The reality is women will avoid gender neutral facilities should a female only option be available, we should not have to sacrifice space for this..queues are long enough already!
• 24 April 2021: Women need spaces that are exclusive to females when we are vulnerable. Women should be consulted on this, sanitary engineers should be consulted, not just activists who represent the side making the demands and benefitting from the changes. https://youtu.be/aD92aLqgtTA
• 24 April 2021: I was a witness on the second day of the inquiry in my capacity for @SWS_australasia ! Been working my way through Hansard this weekend. Very pleased the inquiry provided an opportunity for criticisms of gender identity ideology to go on the record.
• 24 April 2021: I grew up with three brothers
• 24 April 2021: The football codes have dedicated so much resource to building their female fan base, I’m mystified as to why they are considering these policies without any thought or consideration.
• 24 April 2021: Let’s hope it’s the men’s having to give up space or be rebranded as “all gender”, not at the expense of the women’s facilities. We need our spaces for our safety, privacy and dignity. Please consider submitting to the inquiry! https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/all-gender-bathrooms-proposed-for-victorian-workplaces-and-footy-ovals-20210420-p57ksw.html?fbclid=IwAR1CDoWbmfxxXIGMUBqmXqbTGBvkaqN07QaW2NBkhd_9xkR5RjCmyXN3dvs

• 16 April 2021: The law is unclear and unsettled, but the AHRC has said if a sports org does not allow a male to use female facilities they would be liable for legal action. We need clear legislation. In Australia, single sex facilities have operated mostly on accepted social norms not law.
• 16 April 2021: A complaint to the AD Tribunal on basis of sex and religious discrimination. Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion, GII is a belief system.
• 16 April 2021: What state is this? There is a parliamentary hearing next week in NSW on GII.

• 16 April 2021: Your friend would be guilty of a suppressive practice in Victoria and liable to be dragged in front of the Tribunal for re-education, and guilty of an indictable offence under the Family Violence Act.
• 16 April 2021: I would be making a complaint to the school, the department and the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal. It is a belief system our family do not ascribe to, and I will not have my children forced to go along with it. If it was a MtF I’d also be raising safeguarding.

• 15 April 2021: We do in law
• 15 April 2021: That’s an idiotic argument. Why should someone’s sex matter for an email work communication? Google someone’s name to figure out if the person is male/female if it’s unfamiliar, response with Dear [name] or Colleague, no need for pronouns.

• 14 April 2021: It’s not about just looking feminine, and we don’t need to do a “full evaluation”, as I mentioned there are 3000 observable differences, we have evolved to be able to take note in a momentary glance.
• 14 April 2021: James, I’m simply not following your argument I’m afraid, it’s too convoluted. Why I would I ever say something as absurd as 2+2=5?
• 14 April 2021: I have to say this is all very interesting, but you’re likely arguing with the wrong person. I’m legally trained, I accept the legal definition that “a woman is a female irrespective of age”, as based on an objective, observable understanding of biological sex.
• 14 April 2021: I am really failing to understand what your point is? That sex isn’t a male/female binary?

• 14 April 2021: I certainly don’t turn it into an “identity”, it’s a simple, observable fact of life. Women are adult human females. Please clarify exactly what it is you are trying to ask me?
• 14 April 2021: There is ample research to back my assertion, should you care to look. I have 3 young children involved in 7 different sports, sex differences are apparent even in pre-schoolers, it’s abundantly clear. Where did you get the idea I approve of medicalising children? I don’t.
• 14 April 2021: Wrong. Pre-pubescent boys outperform girls in aerobic fitness, strength speed, and agility - particularly in explosive strength for both upper and lower body - but not flexibility or balance.
• 14 April 2021: Sex is not an “identity”, it’s a simple, observable, objective fact of human existence that you are either male or female, which is fixed from the moment of fertilisation. The mythic essences come out of gender theory and have no effect on biological sex.
• 14 April 2021: Yes in children, the Y confers extraordinary advantage over those without. It is quite apparent from a young age.

• 14 April 2021: They have the same access, in the category of their sex.
• 14 April 2021: Stop misrepresenting the truth. No one is “banned”, if they are male they are excluded from the female category, it’s really very simple. Identity and feelings do not supersede biological reality, particularly in sport.
• 14 April 2021: No. No is a complete sentence. No males, castrated or otherwise. Sex is not mutable or transitory - stop talking nonsense.

• 11 April 2021: Swearing doesn’t make your argument any more valid. Neither does numbers. I spend my life interpreting documents, and the document clearly has, by stealth (as usual), inserted a demand to lower the age of consent for children.
• 11 April 2021: Fighting for the rights of women and children never makes me uncomfortable, but if I’m getting a testerical reaction from men like yourself, I know I’m doing the right thing.
• 11 April 2021: Be very careful what you say - I have NOT accused anyone of paedophilia. The document clearly advocates for the reduction in age of consent for children, if you are supporting this document you are endorsing removing safeguards for children from sexual predators.

• 11 April 2021: This is the “lived experience” trope is it? I am a mother, I have people close to me who were victims of CSE, I am a lawyer, I am a taxpayer who funds the Australian organisations that signed this document. I have EVERY RIGHT to speak.
• 11 April 2021: Are you implying my identity credentials matter as to the validity of my position?
• 11 April 2021: The organisations that have endorsed this document are supporting the lowering of the age of consent. They need to own it.
• 11 April 2021: Clearly you’re not very well versed in the history of all this are you? It’s happened before which why we women can it see it, we’ve been here before. Lots of smug progressives cheering it on back then too.
• 11 April 2021: I don’t buy your interpretation for an instant, it is quite clear they are using weasel words to push through the lowering, or removal of, the age of consent.

• 9 April 2021: “Men and boys who declare a trans and/or gender identity” is my go-to, wordy but entirely accurate

• 8 April 2021: Fair point, maybe I was too quick with you. Had a frustrated moment when it hit home again, how unaware people are on this issue, despite the best efforts of so many of us.
• 8 April 2021: Yep. My twins were prem, a month commuting daily to NICU, alarms in the winter night to express milk, 8 weeks to establish breastfeeding, 9 months for both of them to sleep at the same time. PND, extreme sleep deprivation. MAT leave was about survival for all 3 of us.
• 7 April 2021: Go Mr. Grover! Fathers of daughters are the ones who usually “get” this issue the fastest...you ask the Staniland Question and they are instantly peaktransed.
• 7 April 2021: About time. For a document drafted by private individuals, rejected numerous times by the UN and stated by Australian Senate Committee as having no legal force here or elsewhere, it sure seems to wield extraordinary influence.
• 7 April 2021: Unfortunately, they do, we must all “be kind”. And these men demanding entry only have to declare a trans identity, no need to even bother with lipstick.
• 7 April 2021: I must also add that the definition of “man” was not altered.
• 6 April 2021: So we have an elderly white male, famous for a reality TV show advising another elderly white male, famous for a reality TV show, on how to run for office?
• 6 April 2021: 95% of males who declare a trans identity do not have surgery on their genitals

• 6 April 2021: ...secondly, precision in language matters in law. Sex is a protected characteristic, it is defined in the EA, objective, observable etc. “Gender” is not defined, it means something else entirely in common usage, it is not acceptable to say “gender” when you mean “sex”.
• 6 April 2021: You misunderstand. Firstly, It is irrelevant what the police’s stated intention” is for this new policy and this new category of “gender”, the point is that I don’t think they are statutorily empowered to punish or enforce conduct that is not legislated for. This is overreach....
• 6 April 2021: It is diabolical, this is “fertility equality” in action.
• 6 April 2021: I’ve never seen sheep run so fast
• 6 April 2021: But what is the authority for the definition of gender? Is it defined in UK legislation?

• 5 April 2021: Lazy and entitled. I don’t know why I’m so annoyed - probably because so many women spend countless hours painstakingly researching, writing and producing, and these lazy sods can’t even be bothered to do a Google search? It highlights how invisible we are to them.
• 5 April 2021: The MOJ judicial review in the UK shone alight - the judge was disgusted there was no data.
• 5 April 2021: Perhaps they could spend those millions on building a new facility for trans-identified males? Why is it acceptable to transfer the burden of risk of rape and assault from those men to the women, when we know the outcome, as evidenced by WA., UK, Canada etc?
• 5 April 2021: And further to that, this is a disgrace. Why is the burden of risk of rape and assault being transferred from men in a men’s prison’s to women accommodating men? This is a perfect case of conflict of rights.

• 5 April 2021: In the UK @faitplayforwomen hand collated the data, and put in an FOI because the government (MOJ) failed to do it. There has also been a UK judicial review. Perhaps you could look it up yourself instead of expecting women to do all your unpaid research for you?
• 5 April 2021: Lots of women researching and advocating on this - UK, Canada, Australia etc....
• 5 April 2021: Look it up yourself, a number of women have been advocated and researching this in UK and Canada and Australia. Perhaps you could go your research?
• 5 April 2021: Why should incarcerated women carry this risk? This is abominable, it is contrary to the Mandela Rules for incarceration. Perhaps they could spend the millions they are spending on transferring men into women’s prisons on a separate facility for men with a trans identity?

• 4 April 2021: The really incoherent thing about that piece of legislation is not that it refers to “gender” when the category is “sex”, but that you are free to change your “gender” on your birth certificate once every 12 months even though gender is allegedly innate.
• 4 April 2021: I’m really glad people are doing this critical work, I commend them for their strength and ability to delve into such a cesspit.

• 4 April 2021: So all of a sudden you know what a woman is Owen, now that you want to exploit her body for your own selfish desires? After years of trumpeting TWAW and berating any woman who disagrees with you.
• 4 April 2021: Words cannot adequately express how enraging his vicious sense of entitlement is, Greer was not wrong about how much some men hate us.

• 4 April 2021: And I thought the goal was to “pass”, why subvert that?
• 4 April 2021: Jones is so disingenuous, he pretends he doesn’t know what sex is when it suits him, but is gleeful about exploiting women’s bodies to satisfy his own ego.
• 4 April 2021: The men who are choosing to identify as women to access single spaces and protections could respect women’s boundaries, and then the men who then use this failure to “be kind” to threaten and abuse the women who resist these woman-identifying men could stop being misogynists too.

• 3 April 2021: I would like to remind everyone that the protests were in response to an academic collating the stories of women of male violence and male encroachment into women's spaces.

• 3 April 2021: Absolutely, that is a very valid point.
• 3 April 2021: That’s a follow from me. This is important work you are doing, our media here in Australia is wilfully radio silent on this issue (with the exception of @Bernard_Lane ). Please keep shining the light!
• 3 April 2021: I do think the institution would influence you to a degree also, likely a person would gravitate towards a uni that aligned with their values but I think that could further entrench ideas, particularly in the US - as compared to say, Aus where the culture is much more homogenised

• 3 April 2021: Yes, no worries, as an Aussie I would often be taken for a Brit when overseas. And I'm of the view that no matter how much you may vehemently disagree with someone, there is no need to be impolite. You get far more traction by criticising the argument and not the person.
• 3 April 2021: Thank you for that. I have responded to him.
• 3 April 2021: @SWS_australasia will also be reminding our respective federal governments in NZ & Australia, & the Australian states that women & girls have the right to exclude men & boys on both their sex & any self-declared trans or gender identity. #SaveWomensSports
• 3 April 2021: We recognise everyone is free to play sport, they do not have the right to play any category of their choosing. We have specific categories (age, sex, ability) for a reason. Evidence clearly demonstrates male biological advantage & significant increased risk of injury for females
• 3 April 2021: @SWS_australasia will seek to follow in the footsteps of @BethStelzer of @SaveWomensSport to protect female sports. Sports policies that prioritise the self-declared gender identity of men & boys over safety & fairness in sport for women & girls must be withdrawn.
• 3 April 2021: Has it escaped your notice that perhaps the reason the legislation is so successful in the US because ordinary people do not want to see women & girls excluded, self-excluding, cheated out of places on the team or podium, or hurt or killed?
• 3 April 2021: @KnottMatthew There is an alternative viewpoint that many women, girls & supporters reject the policies that allow men and boys to compete in the female sports category. For some unbiased reporting, perhaps ask for our opinion? @SWS_australasia https://www.theage.com.au/world/north-america/the-republican-crusade-against-trans-athletes-in-women-s-sports-20210402-p57g2n.html

• 2 April 2021: Sure....I mean compare a Masters in Quantum Mathematics to a Bachelor of Gender Studies, or Forensic Anthropology to Cultural Studies, Master of Constitutional Law to Public Communication.... Gender and Culture are rooted in ideology.
• 2 April 2021: Depends on the degree
• 2 April 2021: Haven’t you heard? It’s #nodebate . Women are not allowed to have this debate, nor are women invited to the table when these policies are being decided.
• 2 April 2021: Well I can be included in that, I’m chagrined to say!
• 2 April 2021: Maybe the Tavistock was surprised by the fact they actually had to defend their position with evidence and credible witnesses, instead of simply relying on accusations of “transphobia” and “bigot” and happy rainbow stories of transitioned children?
• 2 April 2021: A “feminist agenda”....my goodness, the gall of that statement!
• 2 April 2021: Interestingly, someone else pulled me up on that, and it’s a valid point. Dr. Lawford-Smith should not be prevented from teaching the feminist course on the basis that she is suitably qualified and experienced to do so, not because of her identity credentials.
• 2 April 2021: Unfortunately the ALP don’t know what a woman is, so I don’t know how they expect to improve the situation
• 2 April 2021: Gillard also passed the amendments to the SDA in 2013, effectively destroying women’s rights and paving the way for gender identity to take precedence over sex in policy and regulation.

• 1 April 2021: Au contraire, you don’t appear to be acquainted with UN CEDAW, which is enacted as Commonwealth law in the SDA. And there is nothing “decent” about forcing women and girls to accept males in spaces where they are vulnerable, in a state of undress or asleep.

• 30 March 2021: ...not constructed in such a way that supports women’s choices, it is incredibly difficult to be a mother, to work or not work etc. Every choice is judged. For many of us, it requires epic juggling and much sacrifice. No wonder so many of us suffer poor mental health.
• 30 March 2021: And further to that, to clarify, I am 100% pro-choice, I recognise our reproductive lives are complicated, and every woman should have the right to personal autonomy. But I also hold the belief that motherhood is tragically devalued in our society, our societal structure is
• 30 March 2021: I do hear you, I think we all hope that every child would be conceived in love, wanted, & born into a loving, stable home. It’s a terrible state of affairs that many women are unsupported, and if pregnant are unable to provide for their child in the way they would like to.

• 29 March 2021: Failing to use correct language could also give rise to issues around informed consent, or even med neg if things are not communicated properly. Will HCPs be put in the position of having to decide which takes precedence - discrimination complaint or medical negligence?
• 29 March 2021: From memory, I am fairly certain we talked uterus and vagina etc. in my pregnancies, which has been within the last 5-10 years. I’m a daughter of a surgeon and midwife though, so not really squeamish due to dinner table talk I grew up with!
• 29 March 2021: Granted, it’s not ideal. TBF I have seen women who have turned their lives around after having children, some who (happily) have their child as centre of their world as it gave a reason to live and succeed. I hope she has the support she needs.
• 29 March 2021: I think that is a recurring theme for women with GD, it must be a terrible torment. The vast majority of midwives I have met are dedicated to “woman-centred” care, however the woman presents for assistance and support.
• 29 March 2021: Absolutely. I don’t foresee in the long run how going along with a false reality would help anyone, it would be a rare person who would not give much to change something significant about themselves or their lives.
• 29 March 2021: Wouldn’t being pregnant trigger Dysphoria? What a minefield for the midwife - liable for a discrimination complaint at every conversation. It must take an extraordinary act of cognitive dissonance to be pregnant and yet claim you do not “identify as a woman”.

• 29 March 2021: Its appalling - deeply anti-woman & anti-mother. I am also disgusted by the public conversation around growing human babies in plastic bags in laboratories (“artificial wombs”), & men who declare a trans identity now demanding uterus & vagina transplants from live donors.
• 29 March 2021: That is absolutely ridiculous. 40 women (out of the 300,000+ who gave birth in Aus in 2018) did not “identify as” women. Surely midwives can be trusted to accommodate those mothers-to-be with gender Dysphoria without destroying language that everyone else wants and uses.

• 26 March 2021: While there is a bit of silly ideological newspeak in the Standard, it’s quite clear the ABS recognise the importance of sex as in “sex recorded at birth”. It’s a reasonable outcome, in my view, considering what our UK and Scottish sisters are having to fight. pic.twitter.com/b9MxV65aeN

• 24 March 2021: Many GCs are also not rad fems, RFs include all women in their advocacy, including transmen, so T8rf is inaccurate. It is also a slur, and frequently accompanied by threats of violence, rape, murder or dismemberment. You know this, yet persist in using it. Why?

• 20 March 2021: ...I’ll consider your argument. It didn’t take long for me to start realising all was not well, and it was a Trojan horse. Miracle someone changed their mind due to argument with FB random! Then I listened to a program about a detrans girl in NZ and her distress and unhappiness..
• 20 March 2021: ...pains to explain the criticisms of it. I was dismissing her as a tradcon, but she was getting quite emotional and almost begging me to understand. So I thought, alright, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, I don’t want to be in an echo chamber or close-minded...
• 20 March 2021: That was one crack in the dam for me, prior that I accepted the narrative that “kids could be born in the wrong body”, and wasn’t this nice - all these anti-bullying programs. I had a gay sibling after all! I got into a stoush with a woman on FB about it, and she took great...
• 20 March 2021: I know concerns have been raised that this could extend to ordinary sex education and human relationships curriculum. We have open conversations in my home, but I know some families do not, so those kids could miss out on any education in those areas.
• 20 March 2021: I’m not sure if “gender fluidity” is the right term, my personal preference is “gender identity ideology”, so I wonder what the reasoning was?

• 20 March 2021: Are you joking? Connecticut? Cece Telfer, June Eastwood...etc. One boy stealing a place on a team, on the field or on the podium is one too many. I have daughters, I will never stop fighting for their right not to have to compete against males.
• 20 March 2021: I went to an all-girls school, and I am fortunate enough to be able to do the same for my daughters. I want them to have some peace and respite from the male gaze and male competition in their academic and sports environment.
• 20 March 2021: Seriously? Women who fight to protect women from male violence, to abolish prostitution, are the problem? Not the men who do the raping and killing and buying of female bodies? Some fine logic, right there.

• 19 March 2021: Chase needs to realise no one is banning men or boys who self-declare a trans identity from playing sport, they are being excluded from the female category, they can play in their biological category - No one has the right to play in any sports category of their choice.

• 7 February 2021: You can keep shifting the goalposts and demanding this thing or that, but nothing changes the fundamental premise that men and boys make it unfair and unsafe for women and girls in their own sports.
• 7 February 2021: What are you even talking about? We are discussing the fact the males have a biological advantage, there is your evidence. Are you saying we now need specific data on the CLEARLY male and advantaged competitors that do choose to abuse these inclusion policies?
• 7 February 2021: Regulated by whom? Where is the data, where is the research, where is the follow up? In that case why are the medications off-label and not approved for the purpose of prescribing to children for GD?
• 7 February 2021: Using accurate words is NOT hyperbolic. I am not going to apologise or defend myself for not believing in or chanting the GI dogmatic catechism - TWAW, TMAM, ALNBIRV AMEN. I do not believe it. I will not say it. Does that make me a heretic?
• 7 February 2021: It s not “healthcare”, it’s a mass, unregulated experiment on children.
• 7 February 2021: Because that wasn’t the point of the decision, it was whether children could consent to that particular course of medical intervention. Upon review of evidence, a panel of 3 UKHC judges, incl President of Queen’s Bench, declared they could not.

• 7 February 2021: Thank you @RitaPanahi for giving @salltweets a platform on @SkyNewsAust - the media has largely engaged in overt censorship of women who refuse to acquiesce to gender identity ideology. Those of us who dare speak up are viciously attacked. Women are Adult Human Females.

• 5 February 2021: 15 interviews and the outcome is this piece of legislation. It’s patently obvious to all and sundry that this legislation is far more than what Labor purports it is for.
• 5 February 2021: It’s so ridiculous - “unsafe” and “disrepute”. Particularly when everyone pretty much agrees with us on gender identity once they know what is going on. This can’t continue like this forever.
• 5 February 2021: My four year old has told me twice she “wants to be a boy”, I asked her why “because I don’t want to have babies”. If I was “woke” we’d likely be off to the gender clinic instead of telling her that she doesn’t have to have babies if she doesn’t want to.
• 5 February 2021: It’s as if you pretend Lance Armstrong or Eastern Germany swimmer scandals didn’t happen...sports history is rife with examples of people exploiting any opportunity to win.

• 5 February 2021: @OcelotBlood @somuchtofix @salltweets @abcnews @Mamamia @sunriseon7 @theprojecttv So you, a random anonymous anime Twitter account decrees as a slur takes precedence of that of a respected, UK High Court Judge.

• 5 February 2021: That’s outstanding Nina, extremely encouraging!
• 5 February 2021: When you call people ‘t8rfs’, who exactly, are you referring to, and why?
• 5 February 2021: The word “t*rf” has moved on from being a descriptive term. It is a slur and it says far more about the person who insists on using it, than the person it is directed to. Justice Julian Knowles in the UK High Court FairCop Hearing said: pic.twitter.com/UHdmTp3RHO

• 4 February 2021: We all know the MSM is engaging in overt censorship of anyone criticising gender orthodoxy, & the left have betrayed women. And no, PB are NOT reversible. How do you explain all the desisters & detrans left with irreversible side effects?
• 4 February 2021: Stop sensationalising. No one does that anymore, there is also precisely zero evidence it was done for gender identity, it was done to gays and lesbians. Times have changed Lisa, the population claiming “trans” now is nothing like that of half a century and 2 generations ago.
• 4 February 2021: https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2020/01/59422/
• 4 February 2021: ...what a ludicrous thing to say. They are ingesting opposite sex hormones and experience superficial changes to their appearance, but that is NOT “having a puberty”.
• 4 February 2021: You can’t interrupt puberty and then expect that you stop PBs and things resume “as normal” - that is factually untrue. The Bell decision demonstrates 98% of children progress from PB to CSH, it’s an almost inevitable outcome. You can’t have “a puberty” with their gender identity
• 4 February 2021: Where is the reference for that please?
• 4 February 2021: Are you seriously suggesting that data from the 60s and 70s is relevant to what is going on nearly half a century later? A quick search on Rekers demonstrates his research is pretty bloody questionable - a known proponent of gay conversion therapy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Rekers

• 4 February 2021: She stated “gender identity doesn’t change”. Then why did her government enact legislation that enables a person to change their “gender” (it’s actually sex, not gender, but accuracy isn’t their strong suit) every 12 months?
• 4 February 2021: @ACLU has taken leave of its senses: level of deniability req’d to maintain that males hold no biological advantage in sport over females is extraordinary. To hold such a false belief so strongly is reminiscent of blind faith in the old religions. Gender ideology is the new dogma https://twitter.com/docstockk/status/1357082798520225794
• 4 February 2021: Answer the question @teachcardona . Why are you so willing to destroy the rights of girls in education and sports to pander to the demands of a small minority?
• 4 February 2021: Illustrious company! Thank you for the add.
• 3 February 2021: Absolutely, the narrative promulgated to you does not have the best interests of children and adolescents at heart, and they preyed on your vulnerability and suggestibility. You have freed yourself from that influence, and that is a huge achievement and something to be proud of.
• 3 February 2021: I suspect the UK would have something similar to Australia in that we have a mechanism for vexatious litigants (although it’s a rather high bar), I wondered about complainants...
• 3 February 2021: What qualifies as a vexatious complainant in the UK? Is there a mechanism in place, or does Mx. Heydon just get to continually waste police time and the time of members of the public who hold views contrary to Mx. Heydon’s personal belief system?

• 1 February 2021: What’s your end goal here? To completely erase sex, to destroy women’s rights, to dismantle all safeguarding? Make sure all men have all access to women’s spaces? To pretend feelings are more important than the material reality of your sexed body?
• 1 February 2021: It absolutely is, stop being absurd. There are two sexes - male and female. The TRAs are absolutely attempting to erase sex as a protected legal category and pretend that it is a “spectrum”. We HAVE successfully legislated on sex, stop trying to obfuscate and complicate.

• 1 February 2021: They are the experts as present to the court, the court entrusts them to provide credible evidence. It is not the court’s job to verify evidence - they have to determine credibility, relevance, weight etc. But if the court had to check references for every submission, nothing...
• 1 February 2021: @christapeterso Yes. It is.

• 1 February 2021: What is “reflective of reality”? Pretending people can change sex, that the lived material reality of existing in a female sexed body is irrelevant and feelings about socially and constructed stereotypes are what matters?
• 1 February 2021: Not RW FTR, politically homeless. You don’t think allowing men and boys access to women’s spaces, scholarships, sports, places where we are vulnerable destroys women’s rights? It completely prioritises the feelings and needs of the males who demand access. Misogyny in action.

• 31 January 2021: I agree with you. It egregious. A barrister was also allowed to continue to after flashing himself. I beggars belief.
• 30 January 2021: I went to boarding school at 12. Loved it. Was very happy being with my friends, although I can appreciate it’s not for everyone. Those girls are still the people I’m closest to the world.
• 30 January 2021: This is what the critical theorist side do, they expect everyone to acquiesce to the orthodoxy without question. We must be able to focus on the main goal without letting minor disagreements derail us.
• 30 January 2021: Why wouldn’t you? If it something you believe in what is the logic in saying, well I believed in what this person is doing, but they said something I don’t agree with, therefore I’m not donating ever again?
• 30 January 2021: ....and say what they believe, nothing is going to change. The TRAs are going to continue to ram through their legislation and policy. We must, collectively, start standing up. The vast majority of people do not agree with gender ideology, we must start standing up to it.
• 30 January 2021: ....many of us spend untold, countless hours researching and reading and writing snd speaking out, I have done an entire law degree. I am constantly told by people that they are too scared to speak out. But until people start digging deep, finding the bravery to speak up....
• 30 January 2021: So how does what someone else said mean that I said it? Frankly, I don’t know who you are, I do not know your name except “Mary”. And it is not an unreasonable thing for me to say words to the effect that it is exhausting advocating on this issue...
• 30 January 2021: Yes I am fully aware of PP’s stance. So why is it okay for some women to advocate for single issues, but not others?
• 30 January 2021: Please show me where I have ever used “ad hominems”. How am I engaging in “playground tactics”? Why is criticism and disagreement always framed as personal attack?
• 30 January 2021: My “purity standards”? Really? I keep hearing people saying they too scared to speak out, so the burden falls on the small number of us who do risk our lives and livelihoods. If everyone spoke out this hideous ideology would fall over at a rate of knots.
• 30 January 2021: OMG....that would almost be cause for divorce in our house! I had a huge falling out with one of my brothers on this issue, we have to agree to never talk about it.
• 30 January 2021: I love all these people happy to criticise other women when they won’t even stand behind their own opinions in their own name on social media
• 30 January 2021: We had a solicitor here in Australia who molested his own stepdaughters but was not struck off because apparently it didn’t interfere with his ability to fulfil his professional obligations.
• 30 January 2021: What “damage” has she done? She’s done for more for raising awareness of the issue than most of her critics. She speaks out in her own name. What do you do?
• 30 January 2021: Just because PP does not discuss those issues doesn’t mean she doesn’t care. Why can’t women advocate for single interest issues? Why is the expectation that we include everything and everyone?
• 30 January 2021: You overheard a conversation and inferred that from it? How do you know what she was truly thinking or feeling? That was your perception.
• 30 January 2021: You should see what my daughters like - basically the same thing, free promo t-shirts with bike shorts or footy shorts, riding boots or thongs....I gave up on dressing them when they were 18 months.
• 30 January 2021: Rebelling against your parents to differentiate yourself is normal adolescent behaviour. The problem here is that predators with nefarious reasons are telling these girls all sorts of lies such as their parents don’t love them, or they are really born in the wrong body.
• 30 January 2021: “They don’t speak for women”. It appears the Feminist Library doesn’t either.
• 30 January 2021: ....on the bench, including the President of the Queen’s Bench. They knew they would be under a microscope with this, and with global ramifications and media coverage. The decision was meticulous and scrupulous.
• 30 January 2021: The Court refused Stonewall’s application for leave to intervene in appeal, & they were refused at first instance. No new evidence will be heard, it’s not a retrial, they have to argue on an error of law. 1/ It’s no mistake they had 3 very experienced High Court judges....
• 30 January 2021: Yes indeed.
• 30 January 2021: I agree @Kate_Scottow80 . PP’s concerns are about children and women, she never wavers from that. This issue transcends politics, race, class, socio-economic status. I believe she appeals to a particular demographic that may not have otherwise been interested in this.

• 29 January 2021: I suspect the Legal Department had a bit of a hand in the edit of the original letter that BBC Complaints likely wanted to publish
• 29 January 2021: I think the Women’s Resistance has a chance to win this fight for the single reason that we can laugh at the absurdity. Contrast that with the aggression, sanctimony and humourlessness of the other side.
• 29 January 2021: I can’t help thinking that the rights of women, and safeguarding for children and women, are merely happy collateral damage for this disgraceful state of affairs.
• 29 January 2021: Wondering if it has occurred @emmawatson to thank @jk_rowling for gifting her a career, and by extension, the platform to repurpose the women’s rights movement as a men’s rights movements so women can then be grateful for the leftovers https://twitter.com/un_women/status/1354754868481843202

• 28 January 2021: Old mate here is talking such nonsense, well done on being so patient!

• 28 January 2021: Thank you for your courage and sharing your story. Your voice is important!
• 28 January 2021: That is a factually true statement. How is that “transphobic”?
• 28 January 2021: Where does she do that? Please point me to the specific words where she says that.
• 28 January 2021: For whom? This is the logical result of sex self-id.
• 28 January 2021: So you can’t answer then? You can’t provide a single sentence where she says such a thing. Have you even read it? Because in it, she expresses her support for the rights of people with a trans identity.
• 28 January 2021: I have. Please provide the specific sentence that you are referring to.
• 28 January 2021: I’ve realised it’s a waste of time to argue with people who reveal themselves to be wilfully obtuse.
• 28 January 2021: Well I wouldn’t tolerate such rudeness from a person to my face, so I’m not going to tolerate it from you here I’m afraid. Enjoy the rest of your day.
• 28 January 2021: I’ve engaged politely and reasonably with you, now you are being contemptuous, rude and dismissive. Would you talk to me like this in real life?
• 28 January 2021: Oh good grief, are you really going to be this wilfully obtuse? I’m not going to waste time explaining the blatantly obvious differences between the sexes to a man who apparently 65.
• 28 January 2021: There is a minor decrease in muscle mass, incremental, and even with the decrease they’re males still retain a performance advantage over females. Sports scientist Dr. Ross Tucker discusses it here @Scienceofsport https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-real-science-of-sport-podcast/id1461719225?i=1000497073938
• 28 January 2021: *to NOT exclude
• 28 January 2021: If you are a 65 year old steelworker as you state in your bio, you would have been well into adulthood and middle age when the HP series was published. Or do you identify as a “kid”?
• 27 January 2021: Women’s sports should exclude men because it is a closed category. For men to simply “identify as” the female category on a self-declaration puts women at elevated risk of serious injury, goes against the principle of fair competition and excludes women from their own category.
• 27 January 2021: Division on the basis of sex is not a “threshold”. The sex categories of male and female are distinct, observable and objective.
• 27 January 2021: Apologies for typo - my question is: please show me where Joanne Rowling is “wrong about trans rights”? Could you point me to the specific words where you think she says that, it would be appreciated?
• 27 January 2021: I fail to see how advocating for the rights of women and girls, and critiquing an ideology I don’t believe in can be imputed to mean I “hate” someone. I asked you to clarify your position, by your response it’s apparent you aren’t able to do so or don’t stand by what you said.
• 27 January 2021: *is not indoctrinated
• 27 January 2021: What are you even talking about here?
• 27 January 2021: That article is from 2017, there is current definitive evidence of the male biological advantage, to even deny it in the first place is completely ridiculous. This study appears to be about feelings and inclusivity, not the science and evidence.
• 27 January 2021: Don’t be so obtuse, if you compare like for like that is not the case at all. And certainly not a reason to allow men to play in the women’s division on a self-declaration.
• 27 January 2021: Yes. The average testosterone for a woman is 0.3 to 2.4 nmol/L, men is 10 to 32 nmol/L. There is no overlap. T is also not the only metric of advantage, there are myriad others that I am sure you are quite aware of.
• 27 January 2021: And there is plenty of science, dozens of research h have been undertaken. Lookup @FondOfBeetles , @fairplaywomen or the extensive inquiry World Rugby undertook @Scienceofsport
• 27 January 2021: No. If you have comparative males and females - size, strength, age, training etc. males will outperform females, every time. If you have daughters, this is not “sit on the fence time”. Look upSave Women’s Sport or Save Women’s Sport Australasia.
• 27 January 2021: It’s an eye-opener that’s for sure. I always encourage people to do their own research and make up their own minds though.
• 27 January 2021: Yes, so testosterone suppression does not mitigate the biological advantage male competitors enjoy over females, therefore reducing T is not sufficient to exclude males from the female sports category.
• 27 January 2021: This is not to do with personal performance, although there is extensive and incontrovertible evidence males outperform comparative females (age, size, training). The “threshold” isn’t “arbitrary” - it’s based on biological sex.
• 27 January 2021: So that’s ayes? If a child is my indoctrinated into an ideology, everyone else is close-minded?
• 27 January 2021: Seeing as the IOC restriction is 12 months of injecting female sex hormones, then this research is entirely applicable.
• 27 January 2021: We don’t need to “run a multi-variate regression” to know biological males have an advantage over females, and this translates to issues around safety, fair competition and inclusivity for women. It is completely disingenuous to claim otherwise.
• 27 January 2021: Are you suggesting that if you do not indoctrinate your kids into believing gender identity ideology you are close minded?
• 27 January 2021: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/dec/07/study-suggests-ioc-adjustment-period-for-trans-women-may-be-too-short
• 27 January 2021: You didn’t really read what Joanne Rowling said, did you?
• 27 January 2021: Being a woman is based on being of the female sex category. Gender is a social construct based on culturally relative stereotypes.
• 27 January 2021: And PB or CSH do not mitigate risk as the research shows. World Rugby conducted a thorough, evidence-based, inquiry into this issue, they decided to exclude men from the women’s division. It’s all publicly available. https://playerwelfare.worldrugby.org/?documentid=232

• 27 January 2021: How convenient and easy for you that you can just “refuse” to get involved. I have three little girls, I do not have a choice. And “cis” is offensive, women are not a subset of their own sex.
• 27 January 2021: Anger is justified in this instance. You are basically using a lot of words to say “be nice” and acquiesce to the destruction of our rights and the industrial scale dehumanisation of women and girls by the porn industry.
• 27 January 2021: Last year there was a child at my child’s pre-school who was “trans”. The child is 4.
• 27 January 2021: In what way? How can you deny that there is an epidemic of distress amongst girls snd young women?
• 27 January 2021: Using hyperbolic words likes “segregation” is unhelpful. Its one thing if a person knows it is a mixed sex division and accepts that, it’s quite another for a man or boy to declare an identity and then compete in a female division. pic.twitter.com/vhQaUuViiH
• 27 January 2021: Where does it say people don’t deserve respect? And people do not automatically deserve compassion, why should women be compassionate towards a group of people and their supporters that actively seek to dismantle our rights snd invade our spaces?
• 27 January 2021: Women who accept biological reality, or anyone who criticises gender identity ideology is called “T8rf”. It’s used as a slur and frequent by accompanied by threats to maim, rape or kill. https://www.feministcurrent.com/2017/09/21/terf-isnt-slur-hate-speech/
• 27 January 2021: I am not sure how many actually leave their gaming chair, get off their screen and go into the real world to interact with real, live people.
• 27 January 2021: No one “decides”. Sex is determined at fertilisation and observed at birth. If this particular human is female and makes it to adulthood, they are a woman.
• 27 January 2021: Please show me where women who accept biological reality are “aggressive”?
• 27 January 2021: Please show me where is was “wrong in trans rights”?
• 27 January 2021: No I don’t. Could you please reference the specific part where she is being “transphobic”, surely you have it screenshotted and bookmarked for easy access to rebut it against women like me?
• 27 January 2021: No I don’t. Could you please reference the specific part where she is being “transphobic”, surely you have it screenshotted and bookmarked for easy access to re it against women like me?
• 27 January 2021: I’m surprised they were able to read Butler, her writing is completely incoherent
• 27 January 2021: Please point to me exactly where she is “transphobic”?
• 27 January 2021: I’m sure Joanne doesn’t mind, her books remain bestsellers.

• 26 January 2021: It seems like there is so much navel gazing going on and curating of online personas, identifying as a mental illness or gender is a terribly limiting way to experience life. I feel like social media is robbing the younger generation.
• 26 January 2021: I was a raver and club kid...we used to go out dancing five nights a week with huge groups of friends and incredible music on Oxford Street and the Cross in Sydney. They were good times. I feel really sorry for kids today.
• 26 January 2021: And they don’t seem to have much fun either. A new group on FB called “Sydney Nightlife Back in the Day” (pre-digital age) with lots of photos and clubs and parties being remembered, we had so many awesome nights back then! What happened?

• 26 January 2021: The hatred is visceral
• 26 January 2021: The loss of a beautiful young man whose parents were family friends is vivid in my childhood memories. He died a terrible AIDS death, but was surrounded by nothing but love and family when he did. To weaponise the deaths of these young men in pursuit of an ideology is despicable.
• 26 January 2021: He appears to be consumed with rage for anyone challenging the presumed authority of the identarians, his self-righteousness is akin to a hellfire and damnation pastor preaching from a fundamentalist pulpit.
• 26 January 2021: I’m actually starting to wonder if you are a parody account.
• 26 January 2021: What are you even talking about? How can men be subjected to misogyny? Men can certainly be the victims of male violence, but not in the same way as women, because men and women are not the same.
• 26 January 2021: It’s not my “beliefs”, it’s observable, objective, material facts. Do you really assert those groups truly and honestly believe that people can change sex on a self-declaration? Where do they say that precisely? And what “tactics”? I’m merely stating facts.
• 26 January 2021: And injecting opposite sex hormones is not HRT, nor does it change your sex.
• 26 January 2021: What is “gender identity” but a performance? It’s in our federal legislation - names, mannerisms, dress, preferences. Sounds exactly like a performance.
• 26 January 2021: Don’t be bloody silly, Lesbians are women. People cannot change sex, no matter how they identify, I’m not going to play absurd gender identity ideology linguistic contortion games with you.
• 26 January 2021: 6000 biological differences between males and females, 3000 of which are observable. Performance of opposite sex stereotypes or mimicking of sex characteristics does not mitigate these differences.
• 26 January 2021: No. Absolutely not. Boys and men are not welcome in spaces where women and girls are vulnerable.
• 26 January 2021: I attended the wake of a beautiful, young, gay family friend before he went home to die - as a child, I remember the fear in the community during the crisis. You are besmirching the memories of these young men with your inappropriate & offensive imposition of an ideology.
• 26 January 2021: t’s as if Homo sapiens haven’t spent 200000 years evolving....are you seriously suggesting we can’t tell each other’s sex all of a sudden?
• 26 January 2021: Women are not a collection of body parts. We are human beings who happen to be female. What’s the obsession with biological reductivism?
• 26 January 2021: ...if they are extended to the group from which your are being protected in order to prevent discrimination and/or achieve equality. What you are saying is absurd.
• 26 January 2021: We have legal rights that do depend upon membership to an observable, objective category - such as sex, age or race. And yes, if a group has rights based on this category, particularly in relation to discrimination, they are being “taken away” (rendered meaningless)....

• 25 January 2021: It’s as if he can’t see the difference between the orthodox pseudo-reality of gender ideology, & the group bearing the burden of the demands & enforced compliance of the new dogma. Remarkable how he genuinely sees himself as on the side of the “oppressed”.
• 25 January 2021: Because a white, middle class male with a degree, in a secure, decently remunerated employment, and a platform of millions...is definitely the most victimised demographic, ever.
• 25 January 2021: Astonishing how they can twist any criticism of the lazy “journalism”, or defence of women’s rights, into “anti-trans bigotry”. It’s almost as if they seek any opportunity to cast themselves the victims.
• 25 January 2021: Imagine the interminable participation ribbon ceremonies....instead of 8 kids in 2 categories, 8 kids in 100+
• 25 January 2021: Look it up yourself Melody, I’m sure you’re quite clear on the laws. Men with a trans identity are excluded on the basis of their male sex, and social norms, that up until 5 minutes ago, everyone understood.
• 25 January 2021: You seem to be intent on making this about you. This is about Dr. Wolf’s factually untrue statement.
• 25 January 2021: Personally I’m looking forward to Netflix 2040 “Terfed” - a new series looking at how networks of ordinary women fought against this weird ideological sect that thought sex was a spectrum, a construct and should be erased in favour of this bizarre idea of “gender identity”.
• 25 January 2021: Good grief, really? Plenty of laws in many jurisdictions, including international treaties, that exclude males from female spaces and places and organisations.
• 25 January 2021: We are discussing the fact that men who declare a trans identity can, and do, enter women’s spaces for nefarious purposes, contrary to Wolf’s statement. I never said, nor implied anything about you personally. Let’s stay on topic shall we?
• 25 January 2021: God has nothing to do with this. Women do have the right to sex specific spaces on the basis of both accepted social norms and legislation. A man does not have the right to enter upon demand because he now declares a trans identity.
• 25 January 2021: ...sex. Males, as a category, pose the biggest safety risk to women and children, just because a male has a trans identity does not mitigate the risk they pose by belonging to the male category.
• 25 January 2021: No I didn’t say that, nor did I say it happens most of the time. I have issues with men, no matter their identity, seeking access to spaces that are for the exclusive use of women and girls - particularly when they are vulnerable. Declaring a trans identity does not change one’s
• 25 January 2021: Women are entitled to sex specific spaces when they are vulnerable. Men, no matter what their identity, are not entitled to be in there. If you are a man in a woman’s toilet, I don’t care what their identity is, they are transgressing women’s boundaries.
• 25 January 2021: You are deliberately obfuscating the issue. Dr. Wolf said “this never happens”, whether it happens rarely or frequently is immaterial. It happens (and is not uncommon). The women & girls harmed by that should not just be accepted as collateral damage.
• 25 January 2021: Doesn’t matter. The Stonewall definition includes pretty much everyone now, and in legislation in some jurisdictions it’s simply if you are “thinking” about it. Acceptance without exception, remember!? They are trans if they say they are.
• 25 January 2021: Please point out where “I depicted all members of a minority as dangerous predators”. I did nothing of the sort, so do not impute that. I did, however, rebut Dr. Wolf’s assertion - in the complete absence of any evidence - that “this never happens”. It has and it will.

• 25 January 2021: Stating a material fact, a statistic based on observable, objective reality is not “dehumanising”. But it is dehumanising for women to be compelled to buy into a pseudo-reality that adversely affects our interests. It’s not hatred to speak the truth.
• 25 January 2021: 98% of sexual violence is committed by males - on women, children snd other men. It’s not comparative.

• 17 January 2021: ....additionally, I hardly think an endorsement and award by Her Majesty the Queen means that @docstokk is conducting herself in the manner you allege.
• 17 January 2021: I find it interesting that you think disagreeing with an ideological position means a person is deserving of smearing and slander. If @docstokk was “acting like a first year” why is she a Professor? What are your philosophical, or academic, credentials?....

• 16 January 2021: That is a point I am constantly refuting in this debate - that DSDs are a condition of either the male or female sex, not a magical third sex, and people with congenital medical conditions resent being exploited to support an ideology. It is completely disrespectful.

• 10 January 2021: “Harmful” how? Who gets to decide what’s “quick”? At what point are we allowed to call something out as misogynist, pray tell, we’re all dying to know, because clearly, as a man, you are the supreme arbiter of when a woman is entitled to criticise a male for being misogynist?

• 3 January 2021: I tried to read McKinnon’s thesis once. I am a law graduate and have spent countless hours reading a great many dry, turgid and dense legal decisions, textbooks and law papers. But even I struggled to get through a few pages of R. McKinnon’s astonishing work....

• 3 January 2021: This is the end result when “gender identity” and “sex characteristics” (i.e. body parts) are substituted in place of of the lawfully protected category of SEX.
• 3 January 2021: In CA they are now classifying the healthy breasts of girls diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” as “congenital birth defects” to remove the minimum age limit to amputate them under insurance coverage. https://twitter.com/abigailshrier/status/1345578063610855427

• 2 January 2021: @smh story was a reap coup, aside from an op-ed or two, and a small story about Bell-Tavistock printed days later, it was the first critical story they had published. @theage pulling it turned into a story in and of itself in @australian
• 2 January 2021: How do you like this nappy ad from Australia? https://youtu.be/qEebCOABGuM
• 2 January 2021: The whole conversation was remarkably callous towards women. The mocking discussion of “fear of pen^s” demonstrated utter contempt for women who have suffered at the hands of males. Nothing JB said promoted the interests of women as a discrete category.

• 2 January 2021: I would pay good money to watch you interview @OwenJones84
• 2 January 2021: I was really quite cross listening to that interview - so many unfounded accusations, assertions made in the absence of evidence, cavalier dismissal of women’s concerns about males in their spaces & casual denigration of GC women as “transphobes”. Butler is no icon of feminism.

• 2 January 2021: Tres embarrassant! I’ve clearly messed up the stats.... 🤦🏼‍♀️
• 2 January 2021: The current non binary craze is simply a rebrand of androgyny of the 80s & 90s (but Gen X were way classier!). It is a manifestation of teenage rebellion, but it’s being enshrined in law and has dire consequences for children electing a medicalised pathway. pic.twitter.com/i86HkIE8pJ
• 2 January 2021: If “gender identity” is no longer a recognised disorder, people with a “gender identity” are “not broken & in need of fixing” (Aust. Conversion therapy laws), then why are taxpayer funded medical & surgical solutions being touted as a solution?
• 2 January 2021: There was an entire case in the UK Court of Appeal from the High Court on just that issue. Here is the decision for your reading pleasure. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/McConnell-and-YY-judgment-Final.pdf

• 2 January 2021: We can all agree there are many barriers to entry for women in STEM, and challenges specific to women once they succeed in obtaining a position. Its a failure of logic to argue because barriers exist it’s acceptable to add to them.
• 2 January 2021: I note the definition of “man” remained intact.
• 2 January 2021: I like your rebuttal!
• 2 January 2021: Spokesperson for the Academy said the new definition aligns it with federal anti-discrim legislation. There is nothing in the legislation that purports this, when in fact it is explicit on eliminating discrim. against women - rendering our category meaningless IS discrimination.

• 2 January 2021: Activist women started a petition on change. org in protest. The petition got well over 1000 signatures in 24 hours including a number of donations. Predictably, the petition was taken down and I am still waiting on my donation refund.
• 2 January 2021: Australia’s outgoing Chief Scientist Alan Finkle @ScienceChiefAu celebrated the redefining of woman from adult human female to “anyone who identifies as a woman”. The institutional capture runs deep here in Australia. https://twitter.com/feministbirther/status/1345245001454813188

• 2 January 2021: Happy New Year from Sydney’s Northern Beaches!
• 2 January 2021: Colm and Owen getting chummy with Judith Butler says a lot about her so-called status as a “feminist icon”
• 2 January 2021: I picked 2020, arguably the worst year, to go alcohol-free (after suffering mega headaches in the bushfires at Christmas last year). I will be one year alcohol free in two days time - I can’t recommend it enough, the benefits have been immense.
• 1 January 2021: Queen of the Radfems, Dworkin, was the one who led the anti-porn movement, along with McKinnon! Don’t they know their feminist history? The ignorance is embarrassing.
• 1 January 2021: It takes a lot to get people politically motivated. But it is possible, people will vote in outliers, the underdogs and independents if they are angry enough. I do feel hopeful but it will take time. We are still embarrassed about the same sex marriage vote fiasco!
• 1 January 2021: Many GC and radfem groups and feminists have been purged from mainstream organisations. I could provide numerous examples. Ordinary people do not agree with what is happening, but many people, while opinionated, are not politically active (unlike UK).
• 1 January 2021: There have been women’s groups trying desperately to raise awareness, the institutional capture is egregious. Feminist Legal Clinic in Sydney is possibly being evicted from their offices by Sydney Council unless they purge all their social media of anything GC.
• 1 January 2021: There are moves afoot to coordinate. We are really playing catch up and struggling to keep up with the relentless attacks. We have recently begun making headway in the MSM which is very positive after years of efforts. Things are beginning to change.
• 1 January 2021: At the federal level, Senator Claire Chandler regularly speaks out. Greg Donnelly NSW, @LouiseStaley VIC, David Southwick VIC, Pauline Hanson QLD, Mark Latham NSW, Amanda Stoker QLD, Rob Katter QLD have all spoken publicly. It’s a really mixed bunch.
• 1 January 2021: UN Min. Standards for Treatment of Prisoners: Nelson Mandela Rule 11 stipulates prisoners be separated on the basis of SEX (& others categories not incl. gender identity). Any jurisdiction that places males in female prisons is contravening internationally recognised standards. pic.twitter.com/9CrcUSGyCT
