I'm just posting this again, because we all need to be completely clear that despite sex differentiation starting at 10 wks gestation, every cell in anyones body is very unlikely to be 100% "male" or 100% "female".

Why our organs cannot simply be classified as male or female

Biological sex is usually described in simple binary terms: male or female. This works well for germ cells (sperm versus eggs), but for other body organs it is of little help.

you get actors like Alec Guinness despising their genre work, or like Jeremy Brett being massively screwed up by it, and then you get Christopher Lee calling his cat Renfield.

The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Piss him off instead and

1. I was replying to the comment from political-economy.
2. I was not assuming you'd said anything, I was asking for hard evidence to back up your claim.
3. Nice way to completely dodge answering the question, of course.

If male athletes gave themselves an unfair advantage by claiming to be trans women and competing in women's events, why did these fake 'trans women' not dominate women's sports? You claim it's a problem but can't detail ONE first-class athletic event that was won in these sorts of circumstances?

gummitch (aka gummitch_uk) @gummitch.bsky.social · 5d

Please tell me, how many men claiming to be trans women have won first-class events in athletics? Olympics, national and international championships, that kind of thing? How many? Of those that have (please name them), what proportion of all winning athletes do they comprise?

With the EHRC acting like it is. It shows that it is really important to keep trying to get in contact with your MP.

We have seen that this is working.

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.
