It’s absolutely wild watching the hoops people are going through to pretend that women don’t exist. The stories the mainstream news is writing about the defiant women volleyball players is unreal. 1/
Here is ABC news trying hard to figure out what fair means. They can’t say that women’s sports are for women. So they have to twist themselves into knots trying to think how sports could be organized: without women’s sports actually being a thing. 2/
They quote someone as saying we are never going to be able to answer fundamental questions about fairness.
Yes. Yes we can. Women’s sports are for women. See how easy that is? 3/
Here they find someone who is excited about the idea of “science” finding out just how many drugs you should give to a man to make it fair for him to play on a woman’s team.
The answer is zero. Because men are not women. Women are not low T men. 4/
They are baffled how men and boys could play sports if they weren’t allowed on women’s teams.
I’ll let the readers of this thread come up with an answer to this one. Whatcha all think? Got any solutions? 5/
There is currently a federal lawsuit against the NCAA challenging them for letting men play on women’s teams.
Go ladies!! Go get women’s sports back!
Five teams have refused to play! They are standing up for all women athletes! Even giving up a championship chance.
6/
The new ridiculous argument is that bc some athletes are better than others there shouldn’t be women’s sports. I mean, people are different so why have women’s sports at all they argue?
Why indeed? Can anyone think of a reason? 7/
The argument boils down to this: if boys or men do something to themselves that makes it less likely they will win medals, then it’s only fair they should get to take women’s medals.
Yes. That is their argument laid bare.

The most wonderful story in five parts! It started here. Just an offhand comment from dear Amy. (If you don’t know Amy’s story, she is a nurse fighting for her job for the past three years bc she knows what a woman is.)
Remember when I said that the sport’s half of Title IX was scrapped. Well, this half wasn’t. Yet. The teacher is right, this is the law. In some places. The Biden Admin demanded this in an executive order on day one.
Thread.
So then the Department of Education wrote proposed rule changes to Title IX. The part of that change that was made into law says boys can expose themselves to girls if they claim to be girls. That’s all. Just say the words. And bam! You get flash the girls. 2/
Nvm that it used to be considered a crime. Nvm that the victims of it suffer a lifetime. Nvm the boy gets a thrill. And certainly nvm the girls get trauma and pain. It’s “inclusive!”
3/
They did it!! We did!! We all did it!!!! We stopped them from taking women’s sports away with Title IX!! Give yourselves a gigantic whopping enormous WOOHOO!!!!!
Thread.
The department of education had issued a notice of proposed rule making and tried to make Title IX sports open to anyone who claimed to be a girl. Then they asked for comments.
People sent in 150,000 comments!!!!!! That is huge! 2/
To make it clear, Title IX has two parts. One half is devoted to treating people equally in schools. The other half was for making sure girls have sports. See my highlights section for threads I’ve written about lawsuits ongoing for that first half. 3/
Step one. You try to be nice. You say over and over how you respect everyone. You are sure if they understood that women sometimes need their own spaces this would all go away.
1/
Step 2. So you explain. And explain. And explain. And explain. You give examples. Only somehow it is all turned against you. You are accused of weaponizing trauma. Huh? Weaponizing?????
No. You were just expecting a modicum of understanding. You did not find it. 2/
Step 3. You go to higher ups. You expect them to back you. Surely a shelter will understand why women need a private shelter. Right?
What do you MEAN you force homeless women to shower with men?? Are you an overripe turnip? Say what??
THREAD Reposting Ted Cruz is rare for me but when a man has it this right, you have to give him credit.
Watch as the witness is squirming from answering bc it backs her into a corner. Her ideology prevents her from making this admission. 1/
Notice how she claims that sex and gender are different. But she acts like that is some kind of gotcha as to why men should play in sports.
Lady, YOU have it backwards. We separate sports by sex not by gender. Gender just refers to the social expectations of the sexes. 2/
How would it even work to separate sports by gender
stereotypes? All those who like pink should be in this race and those who wear army boots should be in a separate race? No. That is silly. What matters is your body. Are you male or female? 3/
