Just reading the NYT article about the IOC new policy and this quote jumped out at me. Am I misstaken or doesn't this do the opposite, if someones passed the test then there is no suspicion.

" Payoshni Mitra, executive director at Humans of Sport, a group that has focused on the issue, was critical of the new Olympic policy. “This kind of brutal language doesn’t protect sports — it polices women’s bodies,” she said in a statement to The New York Times. “It fuels suspicion, invites public scrutiny and puts already vulnerable athletes at risk.”" https://archive.ph/WRmUo

You are right.
I suppose it depends on who you are counting as women - this comment is made by someone with the view that TWAW, that a woman is anyone who says he's a woman

FFS, here’s another one. They’re absolutely repulsive and look nothing like women. They look like what they are, grubby, pervy soap dodging males.

Fucking hell, state of it - lucky it never caused a car crash, or something........

These people are just nutters.

Good idea, Canada - let them clog the platform so that no-one else can get a word out.

Can you imagine anything worse than listening to him wang on about himself while you’re trying to eat breakfast?

So we’ve had fetish man complaining about water, another one complaining about heating oil, and yesterday the bbc featured one to tell us how much misogyny affects him.

All straight white men but itv and bbc get to tick the diversity box because the men are parading their perversion in plain sight.

Dammit! Beaten again!

But the good Dr was parroting Trans women are women a few month ago on Lorraine, so which is it? 🫠🫠🫠

Was he really?
God, I actually thought he seemed quite sensible.

I can't remember the last film I bothered going to the cinema to watch

I can. It was "Love Actually" and I thought it was dross. I only stayed with it for Alan Rickman and it wasn't even worth it for that.

The last one I actually enjoyed was Jurassic Park - took my son and was scared stiff. He thought it was hilarious.

My husband and I regularly scroll streaming platforms looking for films to watch and more often than not we give up because stuff is either really cheesy or really preachy.
The only stuff we really end up watching is mysteries.
The last cinema film I saw was Emma in March 2020, just before everything went wrong, and that's only because I am an Austenite.

I watched series 1 of Bridgerton and found it to be like a sugary fake show that was rrying so hard to be cool, and after ep 1 I actually watched it on 2x speed to get through it to see what the fuss was about (whilst multitasking doing cleaning. I decided not to bother with series 2-4).

I still can't believe he got away with the death threats he made while in prison. The jury who acquitted him should have their heads looked at

I feel so sorry for his poor Mother, I hope shes safe and living her life in another country. If he was smarter, I would be more worried for her but who admits this when you may possibly be charged with making threats

"My intention wasn’t to scare the guards; I had no issue with them. My intention was to scare my parents.”
Despite everything Barbie said she is still actively trying to find her parents. “Yeah just like on social media looking for them online. I just can’t find them. I would have loved to have found my parents by now but I just can’t. It’s really annoying,” she said. "

I haven't followed the whole case.

What was his issue with his parents to begin with, for him to go round threatening to kill them.

A prison officer who was sacked for refusing to use wrong pronouns has lost his appeal. Although the judge was satisfied he ‘held a philosophical belief protected by the Equality Act’ (it still jars me that calling a biological male ‘he’ is a ‘philosophical belief’), he was sacked for not complying with the company’s policies on trans prisoners, rather than his beliefs. Surely this is setting a precedent to potentially overturn the Forstater judgment in that, regardless of your ‘beliefs’, if you do not tow the line regarding using wrong-sex pronouns at work, you can still be sacked anyway. In other words, your language can now be compelled. If you want to stay employed, you are forced to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears.

Could you not then go down the constructive dismissal route if you'd not been made aware of the policy in advance of starting the job?

 

[GingerWhinger]

Yep and then you see comments like this because they don’t know the murderer is, in fact, a man

There are missing comments on the post as it says 34 comments but I can only see around 24 (even when all comments are selected) so I’m wondering if the police are deleting comments.

Would he be asking for the same sentencing if he knew it was a trans woman, a man? Probably not.

 

[Moon Face]

They really do have a humour bypass don't they? (Context larsot on X was approached by a pretend PI, this was one of the comments and the response).

The TRA's would get so much further in life if they just learnt to laugh a little.

 

[Miss Ophelia]

Honestly, sometimes I don't even know why I'm allowed out in the world without a chaperone.

Me too @Mismatched Pegs shouldn’t be out alone for my own safety

 

[JAR21]

Quoting myself like a twat because my opinions are very important...

I hadn't heard any of the background to this young man. Why the fuck did anyone think he should be given SRS and not extensive therapy? Whilst the stalking will have been horrendous, surely this surgeon makes her living carving up mentally ill people? I know I'm victim blaming but I can't help it - if you inflict damage on those who are already damaged, don't be surprised when they inflict more damage (some of which might come your way)

She wanted to make herself indispensable and she achieved it!

 

[Weebles Wobble]

Truly ashamed of being Irish post St Patrick's day - and there will be Irish people claiming it's only a bit of 'craic'. The original post got 20k (that's 20 thousand) likes. This is Co Mayo.

What did I just watch???

 

[Tofino]

I had a 'chat' with the AI about that ...

Is this co-pilot or another one? Because co-pilot wouldn’t budge on this for me when talking about someone else!! Can’t remember who it was now.

 

[JAR21]

I thought the Lib Dems were captured?

 

[Galinda]

Why is SEND mentioned?

The child seems to have a bunch of diagnoses and the account is about raising a child with SEN

 

[Piff paff puff]

So when is everyone else going to fall into line especially NHS and not just in Scotland

It's complex obvs not the last time they changed it.

 

[threeSMEGfridges]

lol, the muppets (thankfully seem to be a vocal minority of unwashed TRAs and "be kind" millennials) involved in GATE have referred to that well known LGBT+ hero "Martha p Johnson" in their new booklet. Can't even get their own icons name right

This is not official GG literature by the way inspite of the branding used to make it look like GG
