1/ Most of the people fighting gender ideology, like me, are left wing, pro LGB and also have trans friends. Very few of us are right wing. PLS see the thread below for the sexism and homophobia we are fighting that gender ideology pushes. Thread with examples

Hi all,
As you've probably noticed, I have been very hard to reach for a while now. I haven't answered my messages or emails, haven't updated my content... Nothing.
I'll try to clear up some things as well as I can in this thread.
1/

No single thing has been the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. There have simply been too many obstacles, challenges and shitty things happening for a longer time, on pretty much every dimension of my life.
At some point, things just fall apart.
2/

It's no secret that I struggle with my mental health, and have done so for years. What's new is the fact that I'm probably neurodivergent and on the autism spectrum. This would explain many a thing, but can only be further investigated once my OCD chills the fuck out.
3/

Anyhow, got a little sidetracked here...
What I'm saying is, I have so much shit going on in my life, so much uncertainty, that pretty much all of my energy and resources go in to just taking care of my own basic needs.
Eating, sleeping, personal hygiene...
4/

Right now I'm at a place mentally, where just getting out of bed, eating something and changing out of my pyjamas takes the majority of my energy.
I'm so ridiculously low on spoons. Way lower on them than I thought. And still I have to keep spending them on my own expense.

New study on transgender & performance. The paper’s title could've been “Significant endurance & strength-endurance advantages are retained for up to 2 years despite T reduction in TW: Implications for the assumptions of fairness in current policies”. Some thoughts to follow

First, remind ourselves of the principle and why the results matter. Sports policies have allowed inclusion of TW who lower T for 12 months on the assumption that this removes the male physiological advantages sufficiently to create fairness when women’s sport is “opened” up (2/)

The obvious (though amazingly unasked) question is “Is there evidence showing that this actually works? In other words, does T suppression remove the biological advantages that necessitate a separate women’s category in sport?" This is the question the study is trying to address:

The study includes 46 trans women (TW) and 29 trans men, all in the Airforce. It capitalises on the practice of physical fitness assessments every 12 months to track how performance in push-up, sit-ups and 1.5 mile run changes when T is either reduced (TW) or increased (TM) (4/)

The TW and TM results are, correctly, compared to ciswomen and cismen, respectively. They have data for over 2 million CM and 500,000 CW for these comparisons. So it’s about tracking the changes in performance with T alteration AND comparisons to the appropriate group (5/)

TERFs are TERDs

Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminists are clearly misnamed.

Trans-Excoriating Reproductive Determinists
is far more accurate.

Written by an amazing Aussie Trans woman High School teacher. She nails this👍

They don’t merely exclude. They are obsessed with criticising trans people. They are not given true personhood status, they are to be belittled and mocked.
2-

Trans people don’t even get the respect of their lived reality from TERFs. Apparently it’s completely fine to say that trans people don’t know themselves - that their lived reality is fantasy.
3-

Despite the phenomenon arising in human beings across thousands of years and in all cultures - they’re ALL making it up.
4-

Despite the psychology profession recognising it as just a distinct way of being human. Not an illness or syndrome. A way of being. Medical and biological findings back it, but we are dealing with dogmatic thinking.
