The Second Convict Age has hit Australia the Return of Mass Imprisonment.

Australia now incarcerates a greater share of the adult population than at any point since the late 19th century.

Image
Who are the 43,000 people locked up in our prisons in 🇦🇺? Australia's prisons are a transitory population. Over a third are serving a short sentence of less than 2 years. For females the average is just a few months. More than half of all prisoners are released into homelessness.
Disproportionately, they are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people from the poorest communities in Australia. The majority have underlying illnesses and disabilities. Most are non-violent offenders and a third await sentencing.

SUPER IMPORTANT: for ‘transitioned, transgender and gender diverse athletes’; be aware @wada_ama TUEC policies ‘hormone replacement’ no science/research to policies; we know putting your longterm health and safety on ‘field of play’ at risk.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK PROTECT YOU: Image
Ask @wada_ama through athlete info line for ‘athlete research’ to TUEC for your own ref.

WADA will not be able to provide it. Therefore NADO doesn’t know either.

Get informed about your longterm health.

@wada_ama’s mischaracterization of WPATH Standards of Care (SOC); only developed for indiv therapeutic care of mental health; never for sport/longterm health putting athletes at risk of catastrophic harm and injury.

T’s effect on athleticism isn’t straightforward, in either men or women. At the most basic level, no study has ever concluded that you can predict the outcome of speed or strength events by knowing competitors’ endogenous T levels. Image
While T does affect parameters related to athleticism, including muscle size and oxygen uptake, the relationships don’t translate into better sports performance in a clear-cut way.
Consider a study-of 52 teenage Olympic weightlifters — an elite group, male and female. Among the boys, there was no relationship between T levels and strength, and among girls, the athletes with lower T lifted more weight.

In this podcast Kristen Worley, athlete and, equality and human right campaigner, talks about her personal journey campaigning for the equality and human rights to be recognised in sport.
@LawInSport

This journey led Kristen to take a landmark case to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against the Cycling Canada, the Ontario Cycling Association and the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Image
The case challenged the "policies, guidelines, rules and processes surrounding XY female athletes, gender verification and therapeutic use of required hormones that are captured by anti-doping regulations."

The protected category has never been about protecting women and girl athletes.

Told she could not compete in @WorldAthletics sport, not given results of her gender test. Twice attempted suicide due to ostracism. Image
Grotesque
Athletes have already been harmed. One example is Kristen Worley, who sufferedhealth consequences from being forced to lower her testosterone to 0.5 mol/L in order to compete – much less than that required by her XY phenotype.
Image
Another example involves 4 athletes (18, 20, 20 & 21) who were told, ahead of the London Olympics, that a gonadectomy (removal of undescended testicles) would be likely to lower their T levels and allow them to compete in the IAAF’s female category.

An Australian senator claims trans women are destroying womens sports in Australia yet the senator had to use a college swimmer in America to validate her claim. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
@DailyMailAU claim an unidentified female swimmer claimed Ms Thomas is breaking records that aren't achievable for female counterparts, after spending three years competing as a man. In reality Thomas does not hold a single NCAA national record.
Chandler claims there are no laws to protect ”biological” women athletes. Our federal guidelines & sex discrimination act in Australia are world leading in this.
