It’s time once again for This Week in Clown World, & what a week it’s been.

We’ve had aggressive men in women’s sports, a host of angry trans activists, truly disturbing crimes, a brand spanking new definition of “woman”,& appearances from some familiar faces- let’s get into it

I’ll start with Sports.

The ACLU tweeted “VICTORY” after a Connecticut Court ruled that trans students could play on the school team that is “consistent with their gender identity”.

This is not a victory for all the girls who will now be forced to compete against boys.

Also in the US, the NHL held a “transwomen” vs “transmen” match. Predictably, not only did the biologically male team win easily, but a bio woman ended up hospitalised with a concussion. It’s almost like it’s dangerous for men to play against women in collision sports 😬

In US Elite Cycling, an aggressive cheating man placed Third, denying an actual woman their deserved place. Here’s tweet from a witness, with a video showing some of what occurred

This week, we got news from both The Cambridge Dictionary, & The Scottish Government about what a woman is! It turns out that the definition of women includes men, & that “sex is not limited to biological or birth sex”

This is news to actual women everywhere.

It was a big week for Angry Trans Activists, who were very angry indeed.

In the UK they were particularly enraged, both because of a documentary full of facts that they don’t like, and because @jk_rowling has opened a service specifically for female victims of sexual violence.

Angry Activists turned up at a viewing of a documentary at Edinburgh University, blocking the entrances & shouting at the women who had gathered to watch it. Here’s the charming Robyn Woof (yes, really) making a tit of himself.

The showing was cancelled, because God FORBID women should gather and *gasp* discuss things 😯 In the end, the publicity from the overdramatic TRA babies helped spread the word about the film, well done!

Here’s the documentary that they are so desperate that no one should see, because they hate it when people speak sense. Give it a watch to make the Angry Activists even angrier 🫢 Thanks @AHFdoco it’s brilliant! adulthumanfemale.info

I’ll tell you more about JKR’s new venture @beirasplace in the Good News thread, but just know that this was her response to all the Angry Activists calling her ‘evil’ & ‘transphobic’ for putting women first 👑

In Belgium, Trans Activists threw faeces and tried to attack speakers at an event focusing on child safeguarding because 2 of the speakers are gender critical. reduxx.info/brussels-trans…

This one made me laugh. A Trans organisation excitedly tweeted that they had scientific research that shows a biological basis for transgenderism. This made TRAs Big Mad, and the organisation then backtracked because no one wants to deal with Angry Activists. Science, be damned!

I’m going to go to Schools next, which, unfortunately, segues into Crime. Hate that.

“Kayla Lemieux” the notorious Canadian woodwork teacher, was back in the news this week for various reasons. I’ll let the screenshots do the talking-

In an Oklahoma High School, 2 female students were assaulted in the girl’s by a boy who identifies as a girl. Both of the girls sustained injuries in the attack. reduxx.info/trans-student-…

In Washington, a male inmate who was convicted of sexual crimes against a young girl, has been moved into a women’s prison. According to a @ReduxxMag article, he has reportedly been “boasting to female inmates that he identifies as “a man.”reduxx.info/exclusive-rapi…

In Australia, the Parramatta Advertiser tweeted about “‘Bored and horny’: Woman’s plan to have sex with underage girls”

The “woman” in question was, in fact, a male who “identifies” as a woman. #NotOurCrimes #KPSS Here’s the (paywalled) article ift.tt/neKM5jP

In last weeks thread, I told you about murderer & rapist “Amber McLaughlin”, who started identifying as a woman in prison,& who is currently on Death Row in MO. McLaughlin is now asking the Governor commute his sentence, citing mental health issues stltoday.com/news/local/cri…

And finally, The Suitcase Snatcher himself, Sam Brinton, appeared in court charged with felony grand larceny. Brinton, who is “non-binary” & known for his eccentric outfits, often wearing dresses & heels, wore an unusually conventional suit. How strange 🤔

As always, this has all either happened or emerged in the last week.

Now, I know I’ve missed things this week, because I accidentally deleted some of my Notes 🙄 So, let me know what I’ve left out in the comments, & I’ll add your tweet to the thread

Believe it or not, there is actually some positivity as well, so I’ll link the Good News threas here when it’s up (post tea break, probably 🫖)

I’m gonna be taking the next few weeks off (from CW, not Twitter!) and I’ll be back with more Clown World in the New Year👋🏻

Oh, and if you haven’t already, & you’re in the UK, please sign the @SexMattersOrg petition to Update the Equality Act to make clear the characteristic “sex” is biological sex.

As this thread shows, it really DOES matter. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6232…
