For God’s sake, AFLW and Folau comparisons miss mark on Manly jersey saga

How many of the Manly seven could have looked Ian Roberts in the eye and told him they wouldn’t wear a rainbow jersey? The Sea Eagles could have done better.

You @FallonFox & @CarolineLayt were the two trans athletes that inspired me to return to sport. I am glad I did because I found two beautiful sporting familesnthat fully accept me.

@KirstiMiller30 @AlexGreenwich @TraceyLeeHolmes @Peter_Fitz And Ron [also a journalist & former editor @Northshoretimes ] was asked by @SBS Insight team did he think I have an advantage as Trans Woman playing sport? and he gave exact same answer as his email to Alex & in his own words his testimony” hit the cutting room floor”.

@MFWitches Attempted rape. I was 13-y-o. Occurred at boarding school due to handing in crap assignment. My struggles due to parents separation didn’t cut it!. He protected as I fought him off (statute of limitations). Still leant over table & took 6 of “best” every 2nd week for a year!

@Peter_Fitz @FrBower @smh How does this person not get it ... Trans kids don’t choose being #trans It’s actually helping kids & @KirstiMiller30 @CaptainBridget @Blair90x had this info when we grew up. Wouldn’t have pretended to be polar opposite to who we actually were for so many years!

@Scienceofsport @SquidgeRugby @KirstiMiller30 No trans women rugby players though, one trans man rugby player @VeritySmith19 I saw also an anti-trans group was well represented. A trans woman distance runner. The “peer reviewed” study you used didn’t even have trans athletes in their study @smash_rugby @CardiffLions

@DrVicFielding @belindasmilne @ThePosieParker We: ie Trans Women are not ones who cop it. If we fly under radar are ok. If not, we do! Often is masculine looking cisgender women who cop it. My lesbian friend always cops it in bathroom about this. As for hand size my major rival in masters athletics is much larger than mine.

Oh shut up @tamsynlewis your constant, incessant & ignorant views on DSD athletes BS! Your type got rid of @caster800m #Olympics2021 now you're picking on Mboma. Stop policing women who don't fit your gender norms! #TrackandField @KirstiMiller30 @ChardonnayM @outsports @7plus

Would’ve loved to have been there but my lived trans woman rugby experience is anecdotal apparently, not sure how or why @Scienceofsport & his mates judged it that way? Yet study with no trans athletes is taken as fact? How?

@KirstiMiller30 @Scienceofsport @WorldRugby @CarolineLayt Well that’s not true. Joanna was there; she’s trans but a runner, not a rugger. She’s also a highly qualified researcher in her own right.
