"The category of women’s sport arose not as a response to women’s social role or personal gender identity, but to ensure fair competition amongst female athletes by eliminating the advantages enjoyed by male athletes on account of their sex."
Thank you.

It's worth noting that the 1619 Project didn't just say ONE dubious thing that made "racists" mad.
Every one of its major pitch-level claims -"~everything that makes the USA unique came from slavery," "racism is in our DNA," slavery made the country rich- is false or contested.

Mobula rays, also known as flying rays, are cousins of the mantas and close relatives of sharks. Periodically, they gather together in large groups and start propelling themselves out of the water, perhaps as a way to attract mates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobula

Conclusion: Please don't be mad at us for our findings.
It's too bad researchers feel like they need to make any sort of statement about their findings at all. The science should simply be presented. Feelings are not more important than facts.
I made with my hair to celebrate her and thanks her for her courage ! Thank you for loving women, for being honest and for putting integrity before money and profit ! Thank you for giving us the courage to speak ! You will be remembered as a true shero.

Female ex-prisoner in Scotland describes the daily reality of being forced to share shower areas and cells with trans women convicted of domestic abuse and murder. This is the very definition of cruel and degrading punishment.

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

Funny until you check to see which committees Santos is serving on and you find out he really is on the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

I'm thrilled to be joined on the Science Committee by my Republican colleague Dr. George Santos, winner of not only the Nobel Prize, but also the Fields Medal - the top prize in Mathematics - for his groundbreaking work with imaginary numbers. axios.com/2023/01/17/geo

Breaks my heart. This is the real "conversion therapy": telling gay boys they are probably girls or need a new pronoun. Makes my blood boil they are doing this to gay kids.

Replying to @sullydish
That was the frustrating thing that came out of the pronouns day at my kids school. He’s a gay boy who feels self-conscious about his interests, and for years I’ve been reassuring him that doesn’t make him a woman. Then after one day at school he says “they” is now ok for him.

Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you.

We live in a pluralistic society where people WILL disagree. It's too bad anyone feels the need to dance around certain topics for fear of saying the wrong thing.
Also, gender ideology is an authoritarian religion that demands compliance. This is why people fight against it.

What I "liked" about this exchange was someone speaking their truth to power. Twitter is, unfortunately, no place for nuance.
It's imperative I make this abundantly clear: I support human rights for EVERYONE, regardless of their gender identity, PERIOD. twitter.com/jk_rowling/sta…

We keep books because we REREAD them, and they are also a source of comfort for people who truly love stories and words. We return to them often, sometimes for a line or quote or for our own writing. Books are friends. Books are experiences. They are more than mere decoration.

All teens need to know that it is NORMAL during puberty and young adulthood to question who you are and how you want to move forward.
That does NOT mean something is wrong with you - it means you are healthy, and you are still figuring it out.
I call this “Self-Affirming” care.
