@frankieboyle @Dwarvenhobble I argue, based on the peer-reviewed data available, that transwomen should not compete in female sports.

Am I ‘neurotic’?
Should I be hauled up by my university to address complaints of transphobia?
Should girls and women lose to males?

@frankieboyle @Dwarvenhobble We both know males shouldn’t be competing in female sports.

Am I therefore restricting the ability of someone to ‘live the life they need to live’? Yep.

The difference between us is I am brave enough to say it. You just think it.

@frankieboyle @Dwarvenhobble And I say it despite my job being at risk, despite being threatened and intimidated.

Ironically, I say it despite being a woman who probably cares less than most about who is in the toilets with me.

Are you still just thinking it?

@frankieboyle @Dwarvenhobble Just virtue signalling from your acquired ivory tower (you weren’t always privileged - remember that?). A man who cannot and will not listen when women say ‘there is a problem here’. Won’t even listen to them saying those words.

There is a problem here.

You are part of it.

@frankieboyle @Dwarvenhobble But you care more about slating people <is it Graham?> than acknowledging there may, just may, be a conflict here.

You are part of the problem.

@frankieboyle @Dwarvenhobble I want you to be brave enough to stand by your words.

Come, tell a developmental biologist speaking developmental biology that she is neurotic for doing science.

I fucking dare you.
