1) We've all been stunned at the audacity of Australian Cricket opening up the women's game to males .... but the English Cricket Board @ECB_cricket has been doing exactly the same. pulse-static-files.s3.amazonaws.com/ecb/document/2… 
@ECB_cricket 2) For domestic games the @ECB_cricket aren't even bothering with the charade of asking male-born trans players to lower their testosterone. Simply identifying as a woman is enough. They call this their 'social model'. Lipstick and nail varnish is all it takes now.
@ECB_cricket 3) They sought advice from @stonewalluk. Who cares what women think anyway. It's only the women's game that's gets undermined after all.
@ECB_cricket @stonewalluk 4) If they had done their due diligence they would know that UK Equality law allows female-only sports to be reserved for the female sex only to uphold fairness and safety. Their policy unfairly discriminates against the female sex. Women will be excluded from their own game.
@ECB_cricket @stonewalluk 5) It's well established that cricket is divided into male & female game b/c of size & power differences. Why has this biological reality been discarded w/out consultation with women? @LordKPatel @Tanni_GT @sharrond62 @Martina @damekellyholmes @paulajradcliffe @tamsynlewis
