1) The significance of these data cannot be overstated. The first ever study monitoring how muscle size and strength changes during a transition. = NO CHANGE in transwomen. Presented today at #EPATH2019
2) Six male-born trans people monitored before and after transition. Testosterone blockers used to reduce male sex hormone to castration levels. Plus 11 months on estrogen treatment. No change observed in size of thigh muscles and small/zero change in leg strength measurements.
3) Methodology published here ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
4) IOC guidance means these 6 transwomen would be allowed to compete in female competition (12 month low T) despite retaining the size and strength of their thighs. We have scientific data now confirming observation. If IOC respects female sport it must now its suspend policy.
5) New data confirms size of thigh muscles not reduced in transwomen after 12 months at castration levels of Testosterone. We've all known this is unfair and now here's the science confirming we were right.

Boston marathon now allows males to self-ID as women no body changes required. Stevie has easily secured a place with a qualifying time of 3h 41. Any other male running this pace would have failed to qualify. @sharrond62 @paulajradcliffe @damekellyholmes runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-…
"Although she hasn’t done anything to lower her testosterone levels, Romer legally changed her gender, grew her hair out and started living openly as a woman" bostonherald.com/2018/04/09/mar…
Any 'expert' that thinks males who self-ID as women don't have male advantage ain't no expert.... "a decision sparking controversy among experts who disagree on whether runners who identify as women but were born male might hold a competitive advantage". bostonherald.com/2018/04/09/mar…

1) The @MOJ is seriously mishandling the transgender prisoner issue now.
thetimes.co.uk/article/high-r…
2) High risk male sex offenders allowed to join women for activities including fitness sessions. This is a total violation of the women's privacy and dignity.
3) One of the male transgender prisoners has already given guards the slip and got onto the roof, repeating something they did while in a male prison. This is a farcical situation and the @MoJ have managed to create the worst scenario for vulnerable female prisoners.

1) Shame on US civil liberties group @ACLU for this attempt at gaslighting women. "Cisgender women should be concerned whenever an alleged concern for “protecting” our wellbeing is invoked to justify exclusion". aclu.org/blog/lgbt-righ…
2) @UCLA defends free speech of groups like the Ku Klux Klan but apparently women who ask for fairness in sport are beyond the pale. This would be funny if the misogeny wasn't so damn harmful.
3) @UCLA The transgender lobby is powerful and well funded. This is why women everywhere, and fair thinking men, need to get informed and speak up.

For the first time ever, movers and shakers met to discuss #data needs, available #policy options and the opportunities for different sectors in the transition towards #healthy and #sustainable #foodsystems in the #Baltic region

#nordicsolutions norden.org/en/news/baltic…
Participants jointly mapped forces at play in transition to more sustainable & healthy diets in Baltic region which ensured:
🌟High levels of participation and local ownership
🌟Common narrative & theory of change
🌟Better understanding of priority areas + system leverage points
With agreement on the urgency to act and the system leverage points, 3 joint projecs were conceived:
🍽️🌍 Define & develop criteria for sustainble healthy Baltic diet
💻👩‍🔬 Coordinate existing data across the region
🌬️💡Create Baltic future food “lab” for new innovative ideas

1. I take the view that if you are looking at this in any certainty of what should happen then you simply haven't understood the gravity of the situation and what is at stake. The seriousness of leaving without a deal is not something to be welcomed with enthusiasm.
2. Part of me is willing no deal to happen if only to satisfy my curiosity and as an opportunity to rid ourselves of the ERG for good. The risks, though, are enormous. The people who support are the ones who have brushed off all the warnings as "project fear" and that bothers me.
3. I've had people tell me that my analysis is exaggerated and the basis for their argument is that we will somehow sort something out and EU will feel the commercial pressure to make concessions. It's a variant of the "German car makers still want to sell their cars" argument.

Today is the Punya Thithi of Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose, one of the great Indian scientists of the modern era. One who came up with the concept of radio much before Marconi did. A true polymath, and a selfless genius who gave his all for India.
To call J.C.Bose just a scientist, would however be akin to calling, Leonardo Da Vinci a mere painter, this man was a true polymath, whose genius transcended boundaries.
. What do you say of a man who was a physicist, biologist, and has been named by IEEE as one of the fathers of radio science. A man who was not just a scientist, who discovered that plants too could have feelings, but also wrote science fiction in Bengali.

For me, the real issue in the #trans #GRA reform is #maleviolence against #female & trans. I note #transmen seem to be absent from discussion. They obvs don't present as #women so don't use women's spaces. But they can't draw attention to themselves as trans because... (1/2)
(2/2) in a male space they would run the risk of attack by men who would see their bodies as still female. I can't find stats on transmen being violent, or female violence on transmen. I guess there will be some, but very small no's. The problem is male violence. #patriarchy...
So we need to be looking at #male #violence and how/why our society raises #boys to think violence is a way of dealing with the world. NB I know this is a generalisation and not all males are violent & not all females are peaceful!

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
