Gender strength differences are quantitative rather than qualitative.

Although 👨‍🦰 usually have larger muscles than 💁, the force exerted by equal-sized muscles is the same in both genders.

Muscle tissue is essentially the same regardless of gender.

In England there are 39 trans rugby players. Out of those 39 trans rugby players, 35 are trans men and boys and only 4 are trans girls. More trans men compete in men’s sports than trans trans girls compete in female sports. And trans men are dominating the men in the studies.

‘Inclusive’ still holds power and decision making over others. Need to pivot to ‘Integration’ and all the vertical structure goes away.

Inclusive NOT at the start line yet.🤗

It is possible that a stronger trans athlete could pose a safety risk to a smaller XX female (& vice-versa).

To exclude a stronger trans athlete on safety grounds create a precedent that would argue for the exclusion of equally strong female athletes!

Research shows pre-GAHT trans women do not equate to c1sgender men either in physiological or in performance terms.

It is inappropriate to rely on data drawn from c1sgender male athletes to draw conclusions about trans women.

Current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages trans women have do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 2 years of feminising Gender Affirming Hormone Treatment (GAHT).

It’s the same under the equality act in the UK. No chromosomes have ever been used to define sex on a single birth certificate.

There is no central office that collates everyone’s chromosomes or genitalia status.

It’s so funny seeing Sal Glover prosecute her legal arguments on X when she had the chance to argue her case in the federal court of 🇦🇺 on 2 separate occasions.

She still claims there was a biological definition of a F prior to 2013. Sex has never had a biological definition.

IF governments are serious about regional recovery, they need to stop using the Murray–Darling Basin as a political football — and start rebuilding the industries they helped dismantle.

This pic of my daughter Kirby in 2006 just weeks after my gender confirmation surgery.
Kirby said to me she would never leave me until I became a lady.

Kirby became my mentor a big sister at first. She taught me how to be a lady.

The 2nd photo is a copy of a message Kirby sent me last week❤️
