New Zealand did it the absolute tossers. I hope they win and it's shown for the farce it is. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-57549653
Let’s hope when the event happens and is televised that it peaks a lot of people who don’t read articles online who may not have heard about this. Sometimes the image itself speaks volumes. In an instant, millions of eyes will compute the unfairness.

I hope he’s roundly booed. Disgusting cheat.

Did anyone else hear Jess De Wahls on Radio 4?
I missed the R4 thing, I’ll try to listen to it at my lunch break. Was she good?

The fundamental tenet underpinning sport is Fair Play. This is not, and never will be Fair Play.

Anyone have some free time to lodge a complaint with the Lib Dem’s? I don’t think a misogynist/ grape apologist (his use of ‘nasty attacks’) should be representing anyone. This is about women and their attackers being called she/her in court.

Does anyone follow the Instagram our transitional life? They were featured on This Morning. Dad came out as trans and now they're 'rocking life as wife and wife'.

This is foul. I was so conflicted about the Lib Dems taking Chesham and Amersham. On the one hand, I'm glad the Tories were ousted from a safe blue seat. But at the same time...the Lib Dems are almost the worst for stuff like this, it actually scares me how 'woke' they've become and so I also feel worried that they've won there. I'm hoping it's just that Labour would never have a look in in that area, but still. I know we've discussed all this before but I'm really finding myself somehow hoping the Tories stay in literally just for Liz Truss at this point, yet not wanting to actually vote for them myself. I cannot believe any of us are being put in these horrible positions, having to basically abandon your principles to avoid voting for people who want to delete your biological/political/social status is a complete joke.

Absolutely fuming about Laurel Hubbard. But also kind of expected it because that’s the direction we’ve been heading for a while.

If this doesn’t peak the world then I don’t know what will.

Yes, she was very good. She came on about 10 to 8 this morning.

This has probably been posted on previous incarnations of one of these threads but I went down the rabbit hole on twitter today and found out about ''Princess Mom'' and found this:


This'll probably be upsetting for women who've lost infants or miscarried so just a caution before reading.
I’m sorry, but no. This like like handmaids when the wives start simulating labour and everyone bleeping acts like it’s real and normal. When did dystopian fiction and film become normality?!?

Not sure if this was posted but I came across this tweet earlier.

A lot of the replies are supportive but the usual TRAs are out in force. They're squawking about "jUsT gEt DiVoRcEd ThEn", because that's really the issue isn't it 🙄 no wonder women are extremely reluctant to speak out. The second they do, they're hounded and accused of transphobia.

What did the tweet say? It has been deleted.

I agree it sounds crazy that someone who was born male, where strength is a massive advantage, is competing with other women!

Are there any reverse trans people competing? people born female, but now male, competing in male competitions?

What sports do being female convey an advantage? Maybe someone born female, could do better in gymnastics? Or maybe horse riding? Something extremely high profile would raise awareness even more!
