Have you also noticed the sneaking in of two separate words? Trans women, like they are a subset, rather than the historic transwomen. I notice it everywhere.

Yeah, I have noticed it - it’s automatically autocorrected on many websites now if you type it in without paying attention.
Yep, to imply that it’s simply an adjective. Skinny woman, intelligent woman, trans woman.
Hell, no.
Hell, no.
Absolutely loving the amount of sportswomen coming out in support of keeping sports single sex.
But I’ve never heard of this before, is it normal? I thought whichever side loses in any court case is liable for all expenses incurred by the winning side.
No, the judge can decide what percentage of costs the winners and loses should pay its not automatically lower pays all. As an example, say you were suing for an injury and refuse an offer to settle and won the same amount or less in court the judge might decide that even though you have won you need to pay your own costs from the date the offer was made by the other side.
Sorry to keep firing all these questions, I’m just trying to understand. So how come in this particular case Allison is going to be personally liable for half a million in court costs whether she wins or loses?
I've seen a conversation on Twitter about this before, back when Fair Cop went to court the first time. Obviously that was a JR so probably different but people were asking will they get their donation back if the case is won (no). I can't remember the answer but it was something to do with the rules about costs being different for crowdfunded cases.
In that case, I hope it’s clear in any news reports that write about this that the other sides costs have come from taxpayer moneyI've seen a conversation on Twitter about this before, back when Fair Cop went to court the first time.

If that's the case then pressure needs to be put on government to reduce funding by the same amount atleast
ETA will email my MP to suggest. Based on some of the reading recommendations she gives, I'm confident she is GC
Yaaas Paula!!Paula Radcliffe adds her name to the list of sportswomen speaking out about this
Here's Robert Winston discussing what a woman is.
TRAs are targeting companies that sponsor the female athletes that have spoken out about this issue, trying to bully them into dropping their sponsorship to the athletes for “transphobia”.
My only ponder is: With all this recent angry backlash and court cases coming to the forefront and being talked about after years of “no debate”, will there be a company stupid and clueless enough to publicly drop an athlete on this issue?

Interesting that he uses the word 'mutilation' a couple of times in describing the process of reassignment
Well he's right - cutting off healthy breasts is mutilation. More people should say this !
I was thinking they’ll be raging at that but well said Professor Winston. Of course the blue hairs on the tinterwebs will think they know better than an actual professor
They’ll find that a bit hard with so many speaking out now. Bit different when it was just JKR sticking her neck out on her own. Now that’s loads of athletes speaking out, well respected ones too. Nice try TRAs but your time of silencing women is over.
Well that's exactly what it is .
I totally agree . Need more people like him to say it as it is .
I think it's significant that this is getting into football. The Lia Thomas story got so much international attention mostly because the press got good pictures - no-one in this country cares about a swimming competition in Kentucky besides the fact that a trans person won it, and cycling is also pretty niche outside of the Olympics and Tour de France. When transwomen start dominating women's sports that a significant number of people watch anyway regardless of any controversy, I think that's when the backlash will really gain momentum. In this country that'll probably be international football (maybe PL at a push), Wimbledon, or an Olympic cycling/swimming/track and field event.
It baffles me a bit that TRAs push for trans women to be included in women's sports because it seems like such a terrible PR move. Most of the existing problems caused by allowing them into women's spaces happen to vulnerable and marginalised women outside of the public eye, so they're easily dismissed by anyone who doesn't want to think too hard about it. Elite athletes have huge platforms and a literal audience watching them get beaten unfairly in real time. If this becomes mainstream enough, even people who'd rather not get involved are going to be forced to have an opinion.
I think it's because more are speaking out, there's strength in numbers. I am proud of them.
