Now #Djokovic is gone the next tennis story will be Margret Court happens every year. People don’t want to strip her name from the tennis arena because they don’t agree with her.
It’s because of the impact her ill-informed words have on those they’re aimed toward, the divisiveness and unbelievable hurt they’ve caused and continue to cause damage this time every year.
Sporting venues are named for athletes for one reason  the person’s “whole body of work who they are as human beings.”
Not even her sporting-great halo or pastor’s collar could protect her from what she continues to unleash nor should it.
With Israel Folau & Margret Court et al, they say their free speech is being stifled when in reality it's their hate speech that is being challenged!

Pride Games is not just about celebrating Pride out on the sporting field!
Way before celebration of Pride there is an urgent need for all sports to develop programs & solutions to these problems to improve youth mental health, boost physical activity rates, & mitigate the negative influences of traditional gender norms.
Although there has been more progress on the issue of homophobia in sport, there was a LOT more work to be done on issues affecting trans people. Trans athletes in sport are being attacked by the likes of Trump even our PM @ScottMorrisonMP called us heavy handed in cricket.

Michael Phelps says sport ‘should have even playing field’. Tell that to everyone he’s swam against!

pinknews.co.uk/2022/01/18/lia…
Phelps ”Lia is doping” Kirsti anti androgen treatment is a polar opposite to doping.

XX women don't have their endogenous T levels regulated and we know 13% have high T. Also XX are 6 to 10 times more sensitive to T than XY.
Male athletes with low at are granted a TUE for synthetic T.

Yes @MichaelPhelps if you suffered hypogonadism without a TUE even you would become unwell. ImageImage

It's so funny @seaningle headlines today ”IOC’s new transgender guidance criticised as unfair towards female sport” without Sean even mentioning over the last 9 Olympic games we have had a total of two openly trans women athletes compete one came dead last the other 37 out of 42. Image
@sean reports scientists warn that IOC’s new guidance – ”which states there is no need for trans women to lower their testosterone to compete against natal women – ignores the science on sex,”
Both @seaningle and the scientists are confused. The new ten point framework is not a participation policy for a single sport.

@seaningle once again you speak to others about trans athletes & write about us trans athletes but you never engage with any of us trans athletes. Current T policy not only eventually removes any advantage it makes us extremely unwell beyond sport to rest of life.
So much agitations, distraught and misunderstanding after IOC announced its 10 point framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-discrimination.
But here’s why IOC’s recognition of damage done is important. Impacted athletes in position of vulnerability. Irreparable harm:
There are over 30 is and trans female athletes with historical harm… the reason this has all come about; it in direct relationship. Why it took 2 years.

Where was this edge in Tokyo @TraceyLeeHolmes where was this edge when the current T policy of the IOC damaged K Worleys’ health, where was this edge when the T policy put me in the ICU?
I suggest these deer's in the headlights forget the words trans, Hannah or Kirsti & google what the consequences to health are when an XY physiology experiences Complete Androgen Deprivation CAD, it premature aging it eventually kills you!

Athletes caught up in the IAAF/IOC policy on hyperandrogenism were required – in order to partake in sport – to undergo surgical and/or hormonal interventions unrelated to their health status.
