Let the legal actions commence . . . As the University of Pennsylvania strips the male swimmer Lia Thomas of the medals he won in women's swimming and corrects the record books we call on all sports follow suit. Many hundreds, if not thousands, of women and girls have missed…
🚨BREAKING🚨 UPenn has agreed to apologize to the female Division I swimmers who were forced to compete against Lia Thomas. It has also committed to stripping Thomas of the titles and records he obtained while competing as a "woman," and will return them to female athletes.…
Diolch @LauraJ4SWEast for demonstrating once again respect for the law and support for the rights of women and girls in Wales. The First Minister @PrifWeinidog was nowhere to be seen, as we marked 70 days (and counting) since the Supreme Court judgement and still no action.
‼️ It's been almost 3 months since the UK Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a women. ⁉️ What is the Labour Welsh Government waiting for? 🤔 Stop delaying. Update policies to reflect the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the definition of women. You owe that to the…

Men competing in women’s sport is totally unfair. Everyone knows that. It’s time for @parkrunUK and others to put this right.
WRN members had the pleasure and privilege of listening to the phenomenal Susan Smith, of history makers @ForWomenScot. And now you can too (lucky you!). Link here 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=pa6ans…
“Can’t lift them up, poor love” is, ironically, the type of casual sexism that drives women away from chess. Harassment, misogyny, sexual assault, predatory behaviour. I spoke to Sean Ingle @seaningle about this a few years back, and while I focussed on the numerical oddities…
“Are the chess pieces very heavy? Can’t lift them up, poor love?” @IanpayneLBC on those pesky women who dare complain about not having their own sports categories.
We were going to share this on the day of our vigil but in light of the new restriction we are sharing now. We asked for images of Afghan women in their favourite most colourful outfits and we received these beautiful photos from Leila. Her words in thread… 1/3

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT - OR JUST HIDING BEHIND 'INCLUSIVITY'? There is no sacred caste of men beyond reproach. Ever. That this even still needs to be said after countless cases is staggering. As so ably demonstrated in this superb article by @JournalistJill, many women raised…
heraldscotland.com/news/25278511.… Scottish Conservative Shadow Minister for Equalities, Tess White said: “This is effectively telling SNP ministers, no more excuses. “The Supreme Court’s verdict was delivered over two months ago yet John Swinney and his colleagues are still dragging their…
Women’s Right’s Network NI are demanding this be treated as a national emergency! Women are being murdered now! We can’t wait until 2031 to measure success of the EVWAG strategy. Our deepest sympathies go out to Sarah's family. BelfastTelegraph.co.uk share.google/bTZuSXEbp6tM09…
Broadcasters should be honest and accurate. Airing different views is great, however deliberately platforming untruths is not, especially if done without a firm rebuttal and in this instance a reminder of where the law stands. Reporters saying men can be women is not a…
As @Wimbledon gets under way we serve up a reminder that the Lawn Tennis Association operates a two-tier policy for women’s tennis. Women’s tennis competitions between clubs are female-only but competitions within clubs allow males to self-identify into the female category.…
