🧵The judgment in @ForWomenScot has caused shockwaves, but not about anything it actually says. The panic & confusion is all about rectifying a practice which was already known to be unlawful but has proliferated anyway: the provision of single-sex services on a self-ID basis ⤵️
Griffin Sivert just wanted love, acceptance, a community to belong to… Just like any other 13-year-old (the age at which she first socially transitioned), she wanted to fit in and feel that she was loved and respected by her peers. Had she grown up a decade sooner, she might…
Having male biology is not simply another type of advantage athletes have, it’s an advantage we have created categories around. We all seem to agree that having a woman’s category is desirable and necessary, we all know it’s because men are, as a group, bigger and stronger etc,…
Shame on the BBC for calling Olympic boxer Imane Khelif a woman, as he pummeled female athletes. Here's proof that this is a man, with developmental biologist @FondOfBeetles. Watch in 1st reply - pls share bcz we must combat disinformation.
Hilary Cass raises some similar concerns about NHS adult gender services as she has re the NHS children’s clinic. Something has gone seriously wrong in this branch of healthcare.
NEW: A damning letter from Dr Hilary Cass to NHS England bosses, detailing serious concerns about adult gender clinics has been published. NHSE haven't drawn attention to it, instead releasing an update on implementation of Cass’s recommendations for children’s gender services.🧵

The @Paris2024 women's boxing tournament has stirred so much emotion. Can facts take back the moment? After a rowdy @IBA_Boxing news conference -- a reminder: documents, test results, say what they say. With run-thru of ... 2 years of facts 3 Wire Sports bit.ly/4dvi1zw
Dear TRAs Notice how “the TERFs” didn’t protest Hergie Bacyadan, a woman who claims to be a man, competing in women’s sport at the Olympics? One more time for the cheap seats at the back: Bodies play sport not identities. Why didn’t you care that her identity wasn’t validated?
The BMA’s stance on puberty blockers defies the key principle of medicine: first, do no harm… excellent, informed critique from @soniasodha theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is very important new information. Test results seen by an independent, award-winning journalist. Sent to the IOC in June 2023 and ignored. Please can we boost this? x.com/alanabrahamson…
At daily @olympics briefing, spokesman Mark Adams confirms my reporting: IOC got @IBA_Boxing letter in June 2023. But Adams says without evidence tests are 'not legitimate.' I've seen Khelife, Lin tests. IOC knows, knew in 2023, New Delhi lab is CAP-accredited and ISO-certified
The European Vice President of the World Boxing Organization has come forward to confirm that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is male. István Kovács says he warned the Olympic Committee about several male boxers in the women's category, but nothing was done. reduxx.info/international-…
Nah it’s medical information. They absolutely could and would be sued. But if Lin and Khelif consent to those records being released, or release the records themselves, that would be fine. So why aren’t they?
I absolutely despise essay-posting but as the co-owner of the outlet (@ReduxxMag) that broke the news about Khelif and Lin and started this wildfire, I feel compelled to put to bed some of the bullshit surrounding this story. A rapid-fire FAQ: 1. "L & K are just women with high…
🚨BREAKING🚨 Taiwan's Lin Yu-Ting has won against Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova, beating her in all three rounds of the Women's Featherweight Boxing preliminary. Lin had previously been disqualified from the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championship for having "XY chromosomes."
1) Legally, yes. Biologically - we do not know, which is why people are asking genuine and valid questions. 2) Yes 3) Yes 4) IOC criteria that do not require proof of biological sex. Do you think it is right that boxers are required to step on the scales to prove that they are…
