I guarantee if Caitlyn had of cut her balls off or been administered anti androgens for a minimum of two years prior to Montreal she would not have even made the female team. Her hemoglobin levels & Max Vo2 would be reduced to female norms 4-6 months. thespun.com/more/top-stori…
Research finds trans women that undergo HRT their hemoglobin levels reduce to the normal F range within just 3–4 months & their Vo2 Max in 4-6 months & their muscle reduces mass 9.4 % in just the first 12ms of T deprivation.

Who else wants to help get @JaneCaro get elected to the senate? She needs volunteers. Image

Either Aboriginal People are the biggest criminals on earth, genetically pre-disposed to crime, or there's something seriously wrong with our criminal justice system. As the inaugural Manager of Australia's 1st Indigenous Specific Prison, I can assure you it's the later!
@ScottMorrisonMP seems to think Aboriginal People should be able to forget the past, dust themselves off, accept defeat and get on with it. Except, of course, the past is ever present, both in the rate at which my people are jailed, and in the lingering effects of colonisation.
When you're dealing with segregation, oppression, high unemployment & low income, there are a lot of men and women who feel like they can't support their families.

The 12y Closing The Gap report card showed not a single one of the 7 key criteria was met. The duopoly have failed our first Nations People since the 1991 RC the incarceration rate has grown 12 X more than white 🇦🇺 now the most incarcerated indigenous people on this planet.
Indigenous people In Australia, suffer grossly disproportionate rates of disadvantage against all measures of socio-economic status.
State, territory and federal governments have introduced programs, and continue to seek to identify further methods, for redressing this disadvantage.

The WHO explains:
Humans are born with 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. The X and Y chromosomes determine a person’s sex. Most women are 46XX and most men are 46XY.
Research suggests, however, that in a few births per thousand some individuals will be born with a single sex chromosome (45X or 45Y) (sex monosomies) and some with three or more sex chromosomes (47XXX, 47XYY or 47XXY, etc).
In addition, some males are born 46XX due to the translocation of a tiny section of the sex determining region of the Y chromosome. Similarly some females are also born 46XY due to mutations in the Y chromosome. Clearly, there are not only females who are XX and males who are XY,

Men are stronger than women due to the relative % of muscle vs. fat, and to power that extra muscle they have more oxygenating cells in the blood... both of which are controlled by hormones - not set during puberty.
There is ZERO research evidence of any biological advantages that would IMPEDE the fairness of trans women competing in any elite women’s sport not even Q angle, lung size, bone density & height, muscle mass, strength, endurance or testosterone levels!

It’s really disappointing seeing so many transphobes going all in against Lia Thomas because they saw a picture of her with a gold medal and saw some claim that she went from “462nd as a male (completely unsourced by the way,
I challenge you to actually find when she was ever ranked 462nd (which, to be perfectly clear, 462 out of ~11000 college male swimmers is still in the top 5%)to 1st as a female (winning first place in one event & losing two events at a meet with 21 events doesn’t rank you #1)”.
I would put money down that most of those attacking don’t know the results from the 2022 NCAA D1 Swimming & Diving Championships, and they have only probably only heard about this one event that Thomas won.
