    Maya Forstater Retweeted UN Women

    UN Women advocating against women having their own sporting events. Males beating female athletes in speed and strength is not an "achievement". How can they get the so wrong?https://twitter.com/UN_Women/status/1161224644646580224 …

    Trans and intersex athletes often face discrimination in competitive sports, including being banned from events and stripped of their achievements. Let’s show our support and tell the world to #LetThemPlay! #StandUp4HumanRights via @free_equal pic.twitter.com/BMq4OIiOjL

        I am disappointed at the IOC & sports governing bodies allowing males to compete in womens sports. People should be free to express their gender identity, but sports are segregated by sex not identity (intersex is a seperate issue & more complicated, it shouldn't be conflated)

        They are implying we are arguing that trans women should not compete in sports. We are really only arguing trans women should not compete in women's sports. They should be allowed to compete in men's sports or trans category.

        As Saudi Arabia sit on the UN Women’s commission, I’m guessing they know perfectly well that it will destroy women’s sports and actually are more than happy with this outcome.

        "Let them play" we are not talking about playing tag in the school playground. Let female sports associations decide.

        They put long hair in that animated athlete, so we new it was really a woman. Did we go back a century in time, and I haven't notice?
