Also thanks to Sabalenka.
ETA I wonder when they will start screening, I'll keep an eye out on who disappears into obscurity, I've got my suspicions about one or two players.
I know you might not want to post names, but can you give any hints? I follow tennis but for the last few years the women’s game has been such a random hotch-potch that I’m only fully familiar with around 75% of the top 20.

He has some nerve asking for money so soon after that terrible Monster campaign, which was so tit it united TRAs and TERFs in ripping it apart 😂

Do you think that the players you're suspicious about have intentionally transitioned, or that they're people with DSDs? I would be surprised if a player made it through the junior ranks without it being noticed that a boys U10 champion was suddenly a girls U12 champion. I can think of a couple of players whose gender is often questioned, but that seems more of a 'how do they identify?' question, than an 'are they actually a man?' question.

David Tennant’s son was given a part in the Netflix film, ‘Ladies First’ which ‘shows women holding dominant positions in society, business, and relationships, while men face sexism and marginalisation, typically experienced by women in the real world.’ He plays the daughter of one of the main characters. Apparently the film bombed.
It was terrible, despite having a good cast - Rosamund Pike, Fiona Shaw...

I went to see The Odyssey at the weekend - the lengths they went to trying to make Ellen Page look like a male soldier were hilarious, creative camera angles to hide her tiny stature, or facing men on horseback. Thankfully her role was minimal.

I'm.
Unfortunately he is a gob who seems to be very successful at what many of us would term "grifting".

Those windmills and kimonos don't pay for themselves you know.
I don't mind him taking all and sundry to court over these issues because each loss buries another nail in the trans ideology coffin. He forces the courts to make legal declarations on points which inevitably go against him.

For example, he says for this potential case, that TalkTV says that the SC said that TW are men. He says that the SC didn't say that. Well, yes, they didn't use those exact words, but that is the effect of the judgment. In fact, the previous FWS judgment in the Court of Session had already determined that TIM without GRCs were not women.

If he's arguing that the courts were only saying that TIM are not women for the purposes of the EA, but are still women in general, that's fine. There's no way a court will decide that TIM are generally women for all purposes other than for the purposes of the EA. A court ruling that clarifies that allowing TIM or TIW to identify and live 'as the other sex' is just a legal fiction will be great for us and devastating to trans ideology.

It'll also be interesting to hear his arguments especially for these trans people who self-identify. Will he distinguish between people with GRCs and those without? I doubt that he will but this will be fertile ground to be used against him.

In fact, thinking about this, this might be the case that finally renders GRCs redundant. There's potential for this to be really damaging to trans ideology.

I'm almost tempted to contribute to the crowdfunder to make sure it goes ahead. Almost, but not quite - I'm not completely insane 😀

I'd bloody love to know how much of GLP's donations go towards JoMo's actual salary. I mean I know I could look on Comps House but I bet that doesn't tell the full story.
I reckon most people donate think it's a charity rather than a company.

(Urgh, I've just had a flashback to him dancing with Beth Ditto at that Trans Live Aid at Wembley*. I have cringed so hard my bum hole is now inside out)

Ha ha Lammy has been sacked from cabinet, thank goodness. He can't tell a woman from a man , so he doesn't deserve to be in such a position.

DSD but none of the top players, there's a couple of players drifting around the 100s that may disappear.

Interesting - I'll be paying extra attention the next time that I'm watching a futures tournament!
