"BREAKING:
I now face a 2-year ban by the CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings.

Apparently, I have failed in my gender-role duties as “supporting actress” in the horror show that is my #sport right now.

Naturally, the CPU deemed MY written (private) complaint of the male bullying to be “frivolous and vexatious.”

#CPUhatesWomen

This... Even though a 13-page letter was sent to the CPU in October thoroughly debunking all accusations.

Obviously, someone had to pay the price for the IPF forcing CPU to be more female-friendly.

Let this be a lesson to all female athletes to shut-up and put-up with #SexDiscrimination.

In truth, my fight does not stop here.

Stay tuned... 2/2

🚨 Alberta has introduced not just one but THREE significant bills shaping education, health, and sports policies.

You’ve had questions, so here’s a breakdown of what they mean for parents, children, and society. Let's break it down simply, shall we? 🧵

Bill 27: Education Amendment Act 📚

This bill strengthens parental rights in schools.

🔑 Key changes:
Schools must notify parents if a child requests a change in name or pronouns (under age 16).

For kids 16+, schools must inform parents but don’t need consent.

Schools can only use Ministry-approved content for topics like gender and human sexuality.

The focus? Transparency & empowering parents to guide their children’s education.

Bill 26: Health Statutes Amendment Act 🏥

Aimed at protecting young Albertans from irreversible medical decisions.

❌ For minors under 16: Ban on puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and gender-affirming surgeries.

✔️ For ages 16-17: Requires parental, medical, and psychological approval for treatment.

This prioritizes a cautious approach to medical interventions during formative years.

1/9 🚨 This thread isn't easy.

I've written an open letter to the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU).

They left me no other choice.

I must stand by my principles. Please read on. 👇

Powerlifting isn't just a hobby for me—it's my lifeline. It's where I've found strength, community, and purpose. Yet, recent events have made me question where we are heading. It's time to speak up.

I’ve raised some critical issues plaguing our sport in Canada. From barriers that limit access to the lack of a robust support system, these problems cannot be ignored any longer.

Women's Boxing: An Open Letter to the International Olympic Committee

OPINIONS / We understand the values of fairness, diversity, and inclusion to which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) subscribes. However, in the world of women's amateur sports, support for diversity and inclusion should not compromise fairness. This is particularly crucial in combat sports, where the physical safety of the competitors is at stake.Image
2/6

In this regard, we believe that the IOC has a crucial role to play. It must ensure that competitors in women's combat sports are truly women.

Your role is all the more important since the qualification criteria for athletes no longer depend on a central body, the International Boxing Association, but on national federations, with variations from one country to another.
3/6

The current position of your Committee, which relies solely on the sex indicated on the competitor's passport, seems naive to us, if not outright irresponsible. A simple saliva test would detect most cases of fraud. The recent fight between Imane Khelif and the Italian boxer Angela Carini, which lasted 46 seconds, clearly illustrates our point. The International Boxing Association had warned you: the chromosomal test they administered to Imane Khelif revealed a male karyotype (XY). We would have hoped for the same transparency from the IOC, especially since Imane presents ostensibly male attributes.

Don't let them gaslight you. A 🧵:
1/5
Thanks once again to @NEWSMAX for having me on their show with medical experts to discuss the male boxer Khelif dominating women's Olympic boxing.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation going around online about his medical condition. All I can say people, please don't believe everything you read online.

People want to create division and distraction. This is not about hate or anti-trans. This is about fair sport and SAFETY.

The international boxing association put out a statement months ago that both male boxers failed the genetic testing.

Both could easily do a cheek swab test at the Olympics but they chose not to.

Lin withdrew his appeal from the CAS (court authority on sport) because his medical records would then be made public.

This is the same process that allowed people to find out that Castor Semenya had XY chromosomes.

Leave your "isms" at the door. This isn't about anything other than XY.

Statement made by the International Boxing Association regarding Athletes Disqualifications in World Boxing Championships 2023

Reiteration from the IBA:

IBA reaffirms the position and removal of boxers from all events, aims to protect female boxers, and condemns both the International Olympic Committee and World Boxing for allowing ineligible athletes to compete
