When I post photos like these people say, “why don’t the women just refuse to compete?” It’s not that easy. Often their entire scholarship is tied to their athletics. They can be threatened with expulsion. They can lose out on med school or law school. 1/ Image
They can lose a job that is promised but dependent upon graduation.

People don’t realize just how much power is being wielded against these women. It’s enormous. So much so that college women got naked in front of man due to the threats. 2/
Can you fight the entire school, the DEI requirements in businesses, the President of the United States? He signed an executive order on day one that effectively ends women sports by being inclusive of men. If men are included it isn’t women’s sports any more. 3/ Image
I don’t know if people know just how much power is in play. Students will shout at you, threaten you, mob you if you dare step out of line. It’s not like what you remember school to be. And the administrators will be behind the students doing the threatening. 4/
Women are being brave beyond brave and speaking out. They have people threatening to murder them when they do. Just for saying women should have their own sports. 5/

And this is an academic publication where the professor on the cover is holding a fake? gun, finger on the trigger, in an obviously threatening manner. This was published by Duke University Press years ago. 7/

Now imagine being on campus and facing all THAT.

Thread.

So, I posted yesterday about Keith Olberman’d weird obsession with Riley Gaines. Then I did a search for some of his comments about her. This is just the most recent stuff. There were so many comments I’d be taking screenshots all day.

Here are some more.

And yet another. All his comments are vicious. He is enraged with her for what? For protecting women’s sports? For speaking about schools putting men in the girl’s locker rooms? For saying no?

What she’s doing is amazing. She’s standing up for young girls. 3/ Image

A 🧵 about language.

1. How many times does someone says “including others doesn’t hurt you”? We hear it all day long.

They are wrong. They know it. They don’t want you to know it. Image
2. Let’s start here. When women are a subset of women they cannot lay claim to anything that was separately a woman’s. In one linguistic sleight of hand, women have lost their individuality that determines who has control of something. Be it sports or prison or their name. Image
3. Now the woman is just a grumpy member of the group trying to keep something away from other WOMEN.

EVERY reason why we have separate spaces women is instantly wiped out with this trick. We are stunned.

We try to explain. We are sure it’s a misunderstanding.

Part 2 on the thread of things people who reject the word woman call women.

This is dehumanizing, belittling, and plain old rude. Can you imagine if your doctor called you the “partner with eggs”?!!

Here are some more: 1/ Image
Bleeders? That’s what we are reduced to?

I am anti any movement that is so anti woman they reduce women to a bodily function.

2/ Image
One group is called men. The other group is called “persons with breasts”.

Adult human males get a word. Adult human females are not important enough for their own noun. 3/ Image

THREAD.

If you don’t know just how blatantly anti woman this whole gender ideology is, here’s the perfect example. Two articles, same site, same day. Discussing the issue for men they know what a man is. But when it comes to women, we are nothing but owners of body parts. 1/ Image
Here, women have lost their existence altogether. I can’t even repeat this headline it’s so demeaning.

I mean. COME ON. 2/ Image
But you say, those aren’t serious publications. Actual distinguished people don’t say ridiculous things like that. You’re being hyperbolic!

Am I really? This is the Lancet. It’s a very high brow organization.

Can you get more dismissive to women? 3/ Image

I Am NEVER Leaving This App conversation of the day!!!

Let’s start here. A bloke tells women that unless they are “producing” eggs they are not women.

(Fyi, women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. They do not produce them. But even if we did this is nutty). 1/ Image
Our hero walks in and tries to enlighten.

Only the British can take trouser press and turn it into a deep cutting blow. 2/ Image
This brought us to this logical leap.

Since metal can be recycled then humans can be melted down and reconfigured to become the opposite sex or a trouser press. I admit I was a bit confused as to which one. 3/ Image

I Am NEVER Leaving This App.

Tonight we have the battle of the athletes. One standing up for women’s sports and the other attacking her for it.

It starts with a surprising tweet from SB defending men and boys in women’s and girls’ sports!!! 1/ Image
I’ll just leave this here. 2/ Image
And then she goes on to body shame Riley!! 3/ Image
