Sports categories ARE exclusionary. That’s what makes them effective as a category. The male sex is excluded from the female sex category because of the physical advantages of being male. Stonewall are trying to fool people into thinking this is transphobic. Don’t be fooled.

Researchers are openly recruiting trans athletes who *want* to show a loss of performance. This breaks every rule in the study book. "If you feel unjust about the recent policies, why not provide your data to influence the next policy making decisions"

Unite @unitetheunion doesn't understand the law around female-only jobs. They think a man with a piece of paper saying his legal sex is female *must* be allowed to do a job involving intimate contact with women in their own homes. /1

Bridges said “I didn’t want to race in the male category any more than I had to. It sucks, racing as a man when you’re not one” Bridges is not forced to race ‘as a man’. Emily races as a transwoman against other people born male.

Only one British female cyclist has ever ridden 25 miles in under 50 mins. As a junior male Zach Bridges is already 2 minutes faster than the fastest ever British woman. Zach now identifies as Emily.

Junior boys are fast on a bike. Faster even than the best adult women. Hayley Simmons holds the women's British record of 49 mins 28 seconds over 25 miles. A full 2 minutes slower than Zach's junior boys record. /2

Why do people accept the idea that if a male lowers testosterone to females levels that makes playing on a women’s team fair? You’d laugh if someone suggested an adult man could play in an under 10s boys team if he lowers testosterone to the level of a prepubescent boy.

"I haven’t come across anyone who is like 'Oh, it will be fine.' Even the guys are like 'Yeah, you’re screwed'. There are jokes made [in training] like 'Oh yeah, I feel like being a woman today.'"

Stonewall’s head of trans inclusion denies the existence male & female bodies. Stonewall is on @britishcycling ’s advisory board advising on female eligibility sport policy. Stonewall is behind @ECB_cricket policy that anyone who IDs as a woman will play in female category

disagree with you about this KM: it is BC: you define woman as anyone including men who say they are women KM: bodies are not inherently male or female. They are just their bodies IO: KM was asked if he thought the tweets are transphobic. He said yes. Trawling through all of the

Why does this hostel think women won’t mind finding a half naked man in their room as long as he has a certificate saying F? “Our policy for female-only dormitories is that only those that are legally recognised as female are permitted to stay in them.”
