Bowls England claims that lawn bowls is a "gender affected sport", and states that "scientific evidence shows that gender-affirming hormone therapy in trans- women does not fully moderate the male advantage", yet fails to provide any citations.

@carladenyer.bsky.social I would love for you to get back to Karin and ask her about the scientific basis for the Cass review despite it being called out as bunk science. It is unethical to let them pretend Cass is Good science. It kills

This is discrimination plain and simple. Harassment based on the protected chararistic of gender reassignment
The protected characteristic is about changing sex. The BBC does this to push an ideology. They say trans women will always be men
What about GRC holders? Does the BBC respect legal sex
EXCLUSIVE
The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”.

Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

High quality gender affirming care saves lives. The Dr that saved this girl's life has been pushed out thanks to pressure from TERFs we have to remember transphobes don't want us happy, they want us to not exist.

I made another big thread because someone said sex is binary.
Oops 😁
ah this isn't fully correct.
Not all males or all females produce gametes.

There are many aspects of sex and all of which are mutable to some degree or another. At minimum a trans person can change their sex to the same standard as an injured or intersex cis female. uncontroversially Female

Sorry to any kids but both Binary Sex and Santa Claus are just as real as each other. Not real at all.
Wait til they find out sex is also a social construct 😎 The line exists where we draw it because its where we choose to draw it and the line is not perfectly fixed or always clear. Binary sex is a lie we tell children.

There is not one biological trait that all females share that all males do not.
December 18, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Why does sex matters get a quote in this? Are they a woman's rights charity? A sex rights charity? By including them here the BBC is accidentally acknowledging the truth, they are the anti trans group or else they would not be quoted as counter point here as this has nothing to do with sex rights.

Found my issue- Wes's Statement.
Raising the age of referral to 18. This means 18 before getting onto the waiting list for adult services. This is a needless delay for the people who need care most critically. I guess no Gillick for trans teens.

This is such a power move
Clear easily enforceable guidance that keeps in place everyone's rights. It would be this easy if our government wasn't set on being anti trans

Take note Dr M.A. Stephenson, this is how easily it would be to dig yourself out. You don't need to be ideologically transphobic

No, not THAT guidance - but mine.

I got fed up with waiting for this government to get on with the guidance that’s really needed especially after the Kelly and Peggy cases.

Lovely little misuse of data here.
IF it was counting all under 18s it would be a tiny number. Real Illicit drugs are closer to 1 in 10 in kids. It also doesn't mention that the majority of these kids are likely 15-18 which means they would be able to access these anyway. Gillick Competency age met

I did a massive post defending trans access to sport that may interest People.

Me going off on a rant here 😤
The sports debate is a red herring created by the right wing. It was not the trans people pushing it, we have been in the Olympics for over 20 years. In America there are over 300'000 college women's athletes, and less than 10 are trans, and the majority of that 10 are trans men...

Yeah its clear- they do not want people knowing the reality of single sex spaces.

1. Not every "woman only space" is a single sex space under the equality act. Likely most bathrooms are not etc.

2. Where single sex spaces exist exceptions can be made for cleaners, children (or trans people 😲🤯)
A genuinely held belief (that I would love to have proven wrong): I don't think Stephenson is assuming that trans people have no legal rights as trans - I think she is assuming (correctly) that stating a lie as a fact converts the lie into a fact for many in this current climate
Mary-Ann Stephenson assumes - either from ignorance or malice - that trans people have no legal rights as trans. That is deeply troubling from someone holding her role - although hardly surprising given her history.

Awful - and hopelessly out of her depth (just as two Select Committees concluded).

From someone I know on FB;

About Dr Beth Upton, who is the REAL victim here, although you wouldn't know that from looking at the media;

-the victim of transphobic court procedures,

-the victim of a viciously transphobic media
and
-the victim of a transphobic hate campaign.
