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.

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 authors argue that “gendered” pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
I’m sorry. What did I just read? 1/
Let me repeat this part:
The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
A problematic desire to have a healthy baby?!! 2/
“The authors, a group of transgender sociologists and enthusiasts, and healthcare activists, with not one medical degree among them, argue to dramatically move the goal posts of medical ethics, choosing to completely disregard the health, safety, and well-being of the developing fetus, all in the name of “T” inclusion.” 3/
THREAD. I think what’s shocking people right now is they had no idea folks could be so vicious. Some of us aren’t surprised by this. We have seen this behavior for years from them. Let me show you what has been said to people who simply say that men aren’t women. 1/
This kind of behavior has been building and building and building. Do you think this teacher got fired for his behavior? No. He got put on the cover of a journal.
This is now normal on campuses. 2/
People ignored us bc it was a “fringe” issue and it doesn’t “affect” people and why do we care? Oh sure, you noticed the sports issue for a minute, but you didn’t see how normalized it was becoming for them to speak violently. To BE violent. 3/
