Surely the @bbc has had enough historic problems with presenters and their interest in children to know this is a red flag?
A 'non-binary' BBC presenter has launched a project in which she distributes badges, saying 'Safe With Me', in schools, for children to wear in public places. They will signify to any 'trans people' nearby that the child will escort them to a toilet swlondoner.co.uk/news/23072025-…
Menopause - why women should 🩷 & protect their hormones. Estrogen and progesterone enhance brain, bone & libido. So if during MP we lose those hormones to function we shld consider replacing them &HRT (the healthy kind) can do that. Top up with Testosterone.. Lift weights 🌈🏃♀️
Lovely story from Seb Coe about Ireland's first female Olympian in track and field, Maeve Kyle, who has died at the age of 96. 🇮🇪
Sad to hear that Maeve Kyle, Ireland’s first female Olympian in track and field, has passed away. She was a friend. My favourite Maeve story was track side in Florence in 1981 when I handed her my Casio watch and asked her if she could call my lap time out to me as the…
'The ... athlete's Olympic selection led a letter writer to the Irish Times branding her a "disgrace to Irish motherhood and the Irish nation" but the 28-year remained unperturbed as she ran in the 100m and 200m at the Melbourne Games.' 💪💪💪 share.google/aU8Qd9yC3H4c9E…

Sandie Peggie was repeatedly asked to respect confidentiality while meanwhile consultants shared information, an email group was set up which included consultants, the investigator & Dr Upton to share updates, and noone else was it appears reminded of confidentiality.

US Fencing restores integrity to the female category. All across the world, more & more sporting bodies are choosing to uphold fairness & safety for women & girls. Meanwhile, @LadiesFootball stubbornly clings to a flawed version of inclusion that robs female players of fair play.
🚨 Breaking: New “USA Fencing Transgender and Non-Binary Policy” will require competitors in the women’s category to be female.
We are releasing 5 podcasts this week -one each day as the build up to Sunday continues. Our first show is from the pre-match presser from Convoy. Back tomorrow 😃
It's All-Ireland football final week... We're bringing you a Donegal GAA podcast every weekday morning. Here's the first of them - hosted by @PaddyMcGill1985 #Donegal #GAA 🟡🟢 oceanfm.ie/sport/donegal-…
Each act of bravery encourages other female athletes to make a stand for women’s sport. Thank you to all those brave women who made this happen. #SaveWomensSports

No need to congratulate them. And certainly no need for @RosieDuffield1 to be cheering them from the rooftops, after what they did to her. But we do need to allow people to see the error of their ways and change their minds. We here in Ireland can only dream of the day when…
It’s so strange that it’s so remarkable that a Democrat just spoke so sanely about this issue. A child is not ready to make a life decision about this and needs their parents to help them. It’s not a radical position. And yet it’s called a transphobic position.
Megyn Kelly: “Can a man become a woman?” Rahm Emanuel: “No.” @megynkelly: “That’s so easy! Why don’t more people in your party just say that?” @RahmEmanuel: “Because I’m now going to go into a witness protection plan.”
Michael Jack, Donna and myself after @officialdonegal's win in 2012. What a day. My God, Mick would be in his element this week with all the goings on!
Here @paddyjogorman is right. It is a good thing to see someone in the Irish media reporting factually that the man who sexually assaulted a teenager in a Rathmines laneway was and is a man. However, read the article. In court, there was much made of the fact that this man does…

He felt uncomfortable’ that a female nurse didn’t want to ‘engage’ in undressing with him. And even when she tried to do the right thing - by staying out of his way while he was in the changing room - that action was thought of as ‘bad behaviour’. JFC what dark days for women.
