'Unfair Play - The Battle For Womens Sport' makes the case that this callous indifference to women in sport is the latest stage in a long history of sexism on the part of sport’s higher-ups & provides the facts, science & arguments that will help us ♀ get the justice we deserve. Image

"[W]e suffer a lot for not having catchy phrases. That we we really could do with some slogans. I know that people would say that our points are too complex for them to be distilled, but I think it's essential."

@stellaomalley3 at gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/88-gen


Good GC slogans? Go!
#SexNotGender is a key phrase and slogan for me, which cuts straight through the sophistry to the core issue of sex class as the material basis of patriarchal oppression.

Sex ≠ gender ≠ identity ≠ personality or preference.

If you can't sex, you can't see sexism.
#AllMalesAreMale cuts straight to sex in keeping with #SexNotGender, because most of this is not about "identity" claims or preferences.

Few care about a male's "gender identity" claims when he is colonizing female spaces, and it is entirely irrelevant.

1/9 Recently I got pulled out of class for a “little chat”. I was told I had been reported for making “offensive comments”. Without ascertaining my version of events or even asking if the “reports” were true, it was clear my teacher had already decided I was guilty. #SexMatters
2/9 The only thing I’m guilty of is expressing perfectly sensible and legitimate views! Plus, since when is offending someone a big deal? People take offence at all kinds of things. Such is life and we all just have to deal with it. #BiologyIsNotBigotry #SexNotGender #SexMatters
3/9 I suspect, although I still don’t know for certain, that these “offensive comments” were actually facts that I discussed with a few classmates when they asked for my opinion. #WomenWontWheesht #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #IStandWithJKRowling #WeWillBeHeard #IStandWithMaya

1/5 I’m baffled by the girls in school who all seem to believe this rubbish. Some are even trying to silence me. They are actually celebrating their own erasure. #SaveWomensSports #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters
2/5 Recently I was asked if I am a feminist. I am! Then came the leading question... but are you a feminist for ALL women including transwomen? No. I'm a FEMinist for all FEMales! Cue lots of abuse! #SaveWomensSports #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters
3/5 One girl's a lesbian. I wonder what her reaction is going to be when she realises what is actually happening on dating apps? And SHE accuses ME of having had a sheltered childhood?😂I’m not the one living in a bubble where up is down and hands are feet! #sexmatters

1/8 I am being taught a belief system as fact in school. When I ask questions and point out obvious and huge problems I am told off and receive abuse from students AND teachers. #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters
2/8 In one class I was handed a booklet that had truly shocking content such as “your sex is assigned at birth.” It isn’t! It is just what you are! A doctor doesn’t randomly decide it! #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters
3/8 Another statement in the booklet was that “Lesbians are mainly attracted to women.” But then they are bisexual, aren’t they? Lesbians are exclusively attracted to women. No mainly about it! #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

THREAD: It's a big day for us tomorrow. We're taking Scottish Ministers to court over their unlawful definition of sex in the Scottish Census. The remote hearing starts a 10am. We'll be live tweeting proceedings /1 #scottishcensus #fairplayforwomen
The Census is important so needs to be done right. It only happens once a decade & costs Scottish taxpayers ÂŁ140 million.

But it delivers the most comprehensive dataset there is, used by policy makers, public bodies & academics.

The @scotgov can't be allowed to mess it up /2
@scotgov Next month everyone in Scotland must answer a series of questions. One is "What is your sex". A simple question with a simple answer.

But @scotgov have decided to tell people they can put any answer they feel like /3

El COI (Comité Olímpico Internacional) determina que una mujer transgénero podrå ser elegida para competir si rebaja sus niveles de testosterona (T) por debajo de 10 nmol/L durante 12meses. Elimina esto la ventaja biológica masculina? (Aviso que es largo)

Thank you to over 1000 people who’ve helped secure our future. Of course women support #FairPlayForWomen, but men do too. After all, everyone has, or had, at least one woman in their lives. đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘Š
“Men should be protecting sex-based rights and segregation in relevant environments as well. I don't want to share my protected space with women and I'm not even worried about my physical safety, so women's spaces have to protected at all costs ...
"...because it's just too easy for any man with ill intent to use self ID to gain access. Also, we have to acknowledge reality, the only thing assigned at birth is a name.”

Here's what our supporters are saying:

“From sports to domestic violence services and the NHS, to the correct use and collection of data, eg Census, women need to defend our rights from the attack on the female sex and single sex facilities we fought long and hard to secure.”
“Stay strong. While many feel too intimidated to speak up in support of this fundamentally important defence of basic rights and protection, they do support it. And we are in awe of the courage that it takes to speak up and speak out on this."
“I'm so grateful to know that there is an organisation like you that stands for women and girls and I only wish I could give more. I never believed this would be necessary in my lifetime. Thank you.”

“Thank you for all you do, for me, my mother, my sister and my daughter”
