Trans women don't threaten women's sports at any level but mass instances of sexual & physical assault, lack of access to resources, pay inequities, under-representation of women in leadership positions, inequitable media coverage & so on do! theconversation.com/amp/u-s-anti-t…
Instead of choosing to be transphobic & blanket ban TW without evidence #FINA had an opportunity to be at the forefront of evidence-based, broader, transformational change to counter transphobia, transmisogyny, cissexism & oppression enacted through their sport.
While broader systemic change needs to move ahead, harms to trans women in swimming & other elite sports must be reduced and trans women’s safety in and access to elite sport augmented by implementing evidence-based policies now.

WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION, reaction to a Tweet by @MarkGerretsen has been (very) strong and overwhelming negative.
For someone who infrequently visits Twitter and who usually confines himself largely to #LPC talking points, he generally garners a dozen or so comments ...

can make their own judgement. Suffice it to say, CDNs want Members of Parliament with emotional maturity. A modicum of humility is also seen as desirable.

In a wee bit, I’ll upload the pages of tax returns that provide the evidence of these amounts.
US$480 MILLION (2011-2019 not inc. 2012 & 2016) (Schedule A not found for those years).
