A 🧵 about language.
1. How many times does someone says “including others doesn’t hurt you”? We hear it all day long.
They are wrong. They know it. They don’t want you to know it.

2. Let’s start here. When women are a subset of women they cannot lay claim to anything that was separately a woman’s. In one linguistic sleight of hand, women have lost their individuality that determines who has control of something. Be it sports or prison or their name. 
3. Now the woman is just a grumpy member of the group trying to keep something away from other WOMEN.
EVERY reason why we have separate spaces women is instantly wiped out with this trick. We are stunned.
We try to explain. We are sure it’s a misunderstanding.

Part of this #UNSPORTING situation is the need to ask.
This is the inevitable endpoint, right?
Bullying & gaslighting of female athletes, all for the sake of #sports organizations TRYING to be “inclusive” of (largely) privileged white males representing ~0.15% of the population.

Since I am both a former athlete, #sports program designer, and personal coach who also serves as president of a provincial sports organization (governance), my perspective of “big picture” informs me that retaking lost ground requires a coordinated effort.
One-off efforts …

…will make headlines but deep within #sport random boycotts or tweeting something will never be enough. Nothing wrong with these initial measures, but something much more comprehensive is going to be required, involving:
Athletes
Coaches
Families
Sponsors
Bureaucrats
Politicians

THREAD: Tory MP #JamieWallis, riddled with psych problems declares he "wants to be" "trans". Fake left media trips over itself to accommodate by using pluralised pronouns even tho he hasn't yet declared his preference.
Trans theory is not progressive. 1/

It is the ultimate expression of patriarchal ideology, it is the notion that a gay or effeminate man cannot just exist that way and be accepted, they must actually be a woman trapped in a male body.
It was the Tories who first brought the concept of 'Self ID' to parliament. 2/

Then promptly abandoned it, but not b4 creating yet another divide amongst 'the left' which imploded arguing over the idea of allowing males to elbow their way into female spaces & provisions. Tories knew their voter base didn't care. Trans theory is a tool to divide the left. 3/
A former swimmer's thoughts on Lia:
“None of you cared about women's sports before you had a "reason" to. Beyond that though, Lia has not dominated this sport. Nor have any other trans athletes. She placed 5th and 8th in other events at that meet.

(Also the 500 free sucks and I've even seen many a MAN flop out of the water following that event. I give mad props to whoever does this event. I purposely sandbaged it so I would never have to do it again)
"But her wing span and height!! THE BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES!!!!!!" @MichaelPhelps has a longer than average wingspan, a larger web in this feet and hands, hyperextended joints (main advantage in his ankles), and produced less lactic acid than other athletes.
1. Feminism is an intermediate stage towards Gender Nirvana.
It is the ultimate fate of feminism to submit all feminist goals and priorities at the altar of LGBTQIA+. The #LiaThomas victory is the first step towards that.

2. Feminists of the World are distraught at the victory of #LiaThomas over ‘biologically female contestants’. They feel being cheated. They are wrong. The victory of trans and non-binary people is an absolution of feminism.
3. First of all, the victory of Lia Thomas is a victory of a human culture committed to ideals of absolute equality over a Nature which is hell bent upon maintaining discriminating hierarchies. It is a victory of Ideology over Biology.
@JimBUWDawg So here's the deal, Jim.
It was utterly heartbreaking to listen to a woman who had no idea even 5 months ago what the trans movement was.
Her focus was on her daughter being on an @IvyLeague @NCAA swim team with bright hopes for a new season.

@JimBUWDawg @IvyLeague @NCAA As she looked through the early season times being posted by various swimmers, she notices some unbelievable times by someone called #LiaThomas.
She looks it up and realizes this is a man who now self-identifies as a woman an whom her daughter will now have to be competing with.
