@jk_rowling @jack_turban 🧵Dr. Turban has me blocked because he doesn't like it when people point out that all of his "studies" on puberty blockers have been repeatedly debunked by other doctors for poor methodology, invented data & unsupported conclusions. 1/5 link.springer.com/article/10.100… @jk_rowling @jack_turban 2/5 More debunking of Turban's work. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

🧵As requested by @SallyJamesterf, here's a thread of some of the best always know who you're talking to twitter smackdowns from the past few years.

Up first, @Scienceofsport's classic: 1/8 2/8 Not a comedian @mar2vickers

1/6 Among the many things you got wrong, it is simply false that there "isn't really much" research evidence proving that tw have unfair advantages in women's sports. There are many peer-reviewed studies proving they do. Here are some for you to read: link.springer.com/article/10.100… @feministgadfly @Forbes 2/6 Here's another - this one looked specifically at Lia Thomas: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

🧵1/7 Over 8,000 people voted for the 2023 Sex Realism Awards, and the results are in!

Our co-winners for the top honor are both first-time nominees this year: @Riley_Gaines_ & @KemiBadenoch. Congratulations to both.

Scroll down for all the winners: 2/7 We had separate votes for "UK" & "non-UK" nominees in some categories this year, due to the disproportionately high number of UK voters.

@MoiraDeemingMP & @KemiBadenoch easily took Best Politician prizes (and Kemi still wasn't done winning)...

No one seems to care any more what a dangerous lesson it is to teach girls that they can't say 'no' to a male who wants to see them naked.

For saying no, these girls have been...⬇️

🧵(1/6) TERFs is trending. If you're wondering what women who have that word spat at us along with threats to rape, beat & kill us have done to deserve it, here's what we stand for:

We oppose male convicts like these being put in women's prisons. Female inmates say they're... (2/6) being threatened, harassed & raped. No one else will acknowledge those terrified incarcerated women. We TERFs do.

We also oppose male athletes in women's sports, bc they have huge speed & strength advantages that studies prove can't be reversed with hormones, and female...

I know. But you claimed "both sides" and it isn't. Not one single gender critical feminist has EVER made a violent threat against any trans person.

But they have not only made thousands of threats to rape, beat & kill us, they have - in just the past few months - responded 1/4 to women speaking peacefully about our rights by punching an elderly woman in the face, egging women who were peacefully demonstrating against a man who brutally murdered a lesbian couple and their child being put in women's prison (then stealing their banner & setting it on 2/3
