Politicians Refuse to Define ‘Woman’ or ‘Trans’

From the same “evidence” session of my last post. Scottish Politicians simply won’t define key categories or admit to their “circular” reasoning.

The consequences of extending a Gender Recognition Certificate to anyone who simply says they are Trans (self-ID) without any clinical diagnosis of Gender-Dysphoria or any period of time in which they have taken cross-sex hormones or sought gender reassignment surgery is to allow biological males with penises to access female spaces, whether in sport or in spa showers.

TWITTER CLIP BLOCKED.

Please see this post about a real world consequence: Female Inmate Speaks Out About Male Transfers.

Gender Ideology says only our internal feelings matter. Biology doesn’t. The BODY is an ‘immaterial’ legal consideration.

Is this the world we want to live in?

Women Are Entitled To Male Free Spaces

When did this become a necessary thing to say?

From today’s evidence session for the Scottish reconsideration of the Gender Recognition Act (2004), a reconsideration that would allow “self-ID” to be the only relevant fact before extending a Gender Recognition Certificate to those identifying as Transgender.

Female Athlete Fighting For Women’s Sport

Madison DeBos of Southern Utah University has written an op-ed.

Madison is a long distance specialist. Top 10 in the 1,500m and 5K as a collegiate Junior. And she has seen a few important changes during her career.

One day at practice during my freshman year, our coach told us that another team in our conference had an athlete who had previously competed on the men’s team who now identified as female and would be competing against us. This biological male runner had posted the same time in the 1,500-meter as the fastest woman in the world in that event — 3:50. Now, it was my teammates and I who were being forced to compete against someone who had already broken the female record. 

Here’s another quote:

At the indoor Big Sky Championships in 2020, I started the distance medley relay for our team, and the biological male runner anchored the relay for the University of Montana. That’s when we heard the athlete’s coach say something no one expected to hear: "Slow down." 

Slow down to give the appearance of a fair fight, I suppose. But we watched as this athlete went on to take first place in the mile — replacing a female runner on the podium. 

When you show up at a conference meet and see a biological male athlete towering over you, way more muscular and with a completely different build than any female on the starting blocks, it is at first surprising. Then, quickly, disheartening and even heartbreaking. How do I stand a chance, despite my nearly two decades of training for this moment?
