@DavinaQueeen
The trans movement is trying to take away women’s rights to fair sports.
Participating in sport is a right. Choosing the category you want to participate in isn’t a right. You participate in the one you qualify for.
@outsports
Women’s sports exist for fairness on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity. There’s no conclusive evidence HRT eliminates all male performance advantages and it doesn’t undo the other physical developments of male puberty. Those are the problems.
@mvaneerde
@helenstaniland
The owner doesn’t get to decide. The Australian court decided that when they ruled in favour of Roxy Tickle being allowed to join a privately owned up that was explicitly for biological females only even though RT is male.
@KatyMontgomerie
There’s no science to prove it’s fair for trans women to compete in women’s sports but that doesn’t stop trans activists demanding it, just saying.
@mvaneerde
@helenstaniland
Yes, so now according to Australian law no single sex spaces can exist online or offline. Females can’t have any private spaces whatsoever away from males. Does that seem ok to you?
@TheatreSpoonie
You can argue about gender identity but the reproductive system you’re born with literally does define your sex. Male and female are biological terms for the reproductive roles of most living creatures.
@KathrynBristow
@mimmymum
Trans activists have made ‘single sex spaces’ a dog whistle but why? Why do you think it’s ok to deny females the right to literally any spaces (even online spaces) away from males? Why are you so determined to deny us that?
@mvaneerde
@helenstaniland
I asked for your opinion on whether you think it’s ok to deny females the right to any spaces away from males. That’s nothing to do with Australian law.
@mvaneerde
@helenstaniland
You’re making it about women. I’m not talking about gender identity. I’m talking about sex and single sex spaces, not single identity spaces. Out of curiosity why is it ok to exclude people on the basis of their gender identity but not their biological sex?
@LeftieStats
Being required to compete in the appropriate category whether its age, sex, weight or whatever isn’t the same as being banned. Or don’t you think fairness matters?
@NicESpurling
@Conservative_BC
If it’s such a non issue, why does the trans movement refuse to back down on demanding it even though there’s no conclusive evidence that it’s fair?
@KatyMontgomerie
Nothing can be resolved until you actually start dealing in all facts and not just those you choose to recognise or opinions stated as fact.
@grassrootsrefJa
@oliverbrown_tel
Sports are segregated for fairness based on biological sex not gender identity. Please explain how it’s transphobic to not want biological males competing against biological females in sport. You’re being bigoted towards females.
@ThomasWillett9
Yeah, because no predator would ever use whatever opportunities are available to them to gain access to the kind of vulnerable people they like to prey on, right? Are you kidding right now? Do you ever actually think about what you’re posting?
@morgan_215
@JournalStarNews
You’ve misrepresented that statement out of context and you know it. The fact is Lia Thomas ranks dramatically better against women than men and that’s the problem. The fact that LT is a fairly mediocre swimmer in competitive terms doesn’t mean LT should compete with women.
@KatyMontgomerie
I hate all the nasty personal comments Celia gets, but she courts and encourages it with deliberately antagonistic tweets. Neither of these things are healthy or lead to positive outcomes.

@Caitlyn_Jenner
Women’s sports were established and exist for fairness on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity.
@CuteButB0ring
Apparently you don’t recall correctly, but don’t let that stop jumping on the bandwagon of trying to ensure females aren’t entitled to any private spaces of any sort online or in real life. Why is that so important to you?
@GenderJustice
@nwlc
Females deserve fair play. Do you understand that women’s sports exist for fairness on the basis that women are biologically female? Gender identity has nothing to do with which sports category you get to compete in.
@PandoraSylvana
Nobody’s been hounded out of sport. People are just required to compete in the appropriate categories to preserve fairness. Sports are completely inclusive.

@agounardes
You’re so wrong here. What you’re basically saying is if people don’t agree with every demand of the trans movement then it’s anti-LGBTQ hate. That leaves literally no room for conversation or compromise. The female sport issue is important and you don’t get to just shut it down.
@ThomasWillett9
The problem is when you start defining anyone who disagrees with you about anything as terf/gender critical/anti trans. All it means is you’re not willing to have a conversation.
@Peggysknapsack
@SarahAbrah18989
@therealrukshan
Most people do accept them. What we don’t accept is destroying the integrity and fairness of women’s sport. Women’s sports are segregated on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity.
@narindertweets
@jk_rowling
Perhaps consider that a big part of the issue might have something to do with the unreasonable demands of gender extremists.
@alawriedejesus
This wasn’t about gender identity. It’s an app for biological females (including trans men). The verdict is absolutely ridiculous and scary and damaging for females.
@mvaneerde
@helenstaniland
We don’t have to say assigned female at birth because females are females and sex is determined at conception.
Three easy ones to start - changing rooms, shelters for vulnerable females and female sports categories.
@narindertweets
But you tell us everything’s racist. You even look for it when there’s no racial element at all, like trying to racialise the Lucy Letby thing. Maybe stop being part of the problem? 🤷♀️

@BBCNews
Well that’s great if it works for you, but the definition of being heterosexual is not being attracted to your own sex. Trans men are the same biological sex as me, so I’m not attracted to them. It’s not a decision I make. It’s because trans men are not actually men.
@atalanta44
@CarilynJohnson
My sports centre has a communal women’s changing area and showers. Do you think it’s reasonable to expect me and my daughter to be naked around fully intact adult males (also naked) when we change and/or shower?
@AriDrennen
Did you actually bother to read it? It’s not remotely conclusive in any way and even admits it. It’s just a limited study with virtually no actual performance data.
@KatyMontgomerie
In the vast majority of people sex is binary and defined by the reproductive system a person is born with. Even if you argue that exceptions like some intersex conditions challenge the binary, that still only applies to a tiny number of people.
@PinkRangerLB
@jk_rowling
@SwipeWright
This isn’t about chromosomes defining Imane’s sex. The issue is that, for someone recorded as female at birth, having XY chromosomes can indicate an intersex condition which could have led to her benefitting from male physical development. That’s what needs to be investigated.
@ThomasWillett9
I’m yet to see any conclusive evidence that asking people to compete in the appropriate category for their biological sex in sport stops trans people from existing 🤷♀️
@NicESpurling
@Conservative_BC
So that picture shows a trans woman who’s won multiple gold medals. If you actually read that report it’s completely inconclusive and contains virtually no actual performance data.
And no, trans people haven’t been competing for years. There’s been a few isolated cases.
@KatyMontgomerie
There’s also no data to conclusively show that HRT eliminates all male physical advantage in trans women but the trans movement still insists they should compete in female sports categories 🤷♀️
@mimmymum
What they need is someone who’s willing to have a conversation and be reasonable, not someone who avoids questions and not someone who throws their toys out of the pram if anyone disagrees with them.
@stephenwhittle
You lose any credibility you might have had by trying to defend the indefensible. Literally the only reason you defend this person is because they’re trans.
@finngalkn
To be fair, when I try to engage and actually have a conversation with trans activists I routinely get insulted and blocked. The crappy behaviour goes both ways, believe me.
@RB6K
@LeeHurstComic
@ThomasWillett9
Women’s sports were established and exist for fairness on the basis of women being biologically female, not a gender identity. If you redefine the meaning of ‘woman’ you have to redefine women’s sports as biological female sports.
I feel so sorry for all these poor, lonely hot 18yo underwear model chicks on X who just can’t find love. Why won’t any of you guys give them a chance??? 🤷♀️
@Nr1Jjg1
@AriDrennen
I had to go back and listen to that part a second time because I thought I must have misheard because it’s such a ridiculous thing to say. It turns out I didn’t mishear it.
@mushycrouton
I’m really confused. You’re saying all gay people support every claim and demand of the trans movement?
You’re saying anyone who questions trans activism secretly wants to sleep with gay people?
I don’t understand 🤷♀️
Dream scenario: I’m going to sleep now.
Most likely scenario: I’m going to lie in bed for a few hours thinking about how cool it would be to go to sleep and then get up 🤷♀️😘🥱
@MajToure999
@VeroniqkeNik
I think most people would agree what happened to GF wasn’t right. What pisses people off is that a violent thug has been painted as a saint and martyr. The whole situation needs to be moved on from. How he’s been portrayed in media is ridiculous and offensive.
@mvaneerde
@helenstaniland
You’re saying you’d exclude males from birthing centres. The fathers of the babies are male, so you’d exclude them from the birth of their kids.
@PersephoneP101
@KathrynBristow
@mimmymum
Wow, are you actually serious? You don’t think males pose a statistically provable threat to females that doesn’t exist the other way round? I guess that also means there should be no sex segregation in sports either, right?
@PersephoneP101
@KathrynBristow
@mimmymum
I didn’t say anything about me deciding. But if you’re going to use that logic then no one has the right to decide any space is closed to anyone, so that means no spaces separated by sex OR gender. Since female spaces exist to protect females from males, that is pure misogyny.
@CleverlyMason
@salltweets

@TheAdvocateMag
The problem with the activists is they’ll attack you and label you a bigot for disagreeing with any one of their demands. They’re the ones causing the most problems for trans people who just want to get on with their lives IMO.
@ThomasWillett9
@AllianceLGB
Maybe start using your platform to promote conversation and compromise instead of division and conflict. Just a thought 🤷♀️
