Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

Multiple sources expect such a ban to come into effect over the next six to 12 months with the new IOC president, Kirsty Coventry, making clear she wants to drive through her campaign pledge to protect the female category. Continue reading...

EVERY "gender-critical" transphobe - yes including the very rich ones, the bigoted "journalists" who abuse their power, the unacademic academics and the "comedians" who make transphobic "jokes" - are respnsible for this poor cis women's death.
Transphobia *harms* cis women.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."
This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."
RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

This is where your Harry Potter money goes
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

An important reminder as the Supreme Court makes its judgement - not a single trans person was heard from at any point during this case before them, even a trans judge who applied was refused.
This is, as usual, the British state acting as cis people to impose their will on trans people.

just cannot emphasize enough here that the whole "actually inhaled steroids cure measles" illustrates how none of the antivax stuff is actually about big pharma, it's about virtue signaling to other narcissists about how much cleverer than doctors they are
One of the doctors RFK claimed was doing “heroic” work “curing” kids of measles . . .
a) is treating kids with a steroid, which is making them sicker
b) said the idea came from god in a dream
c) boasted about treating kids *while he himself had the measles*

Kennedy draws from misinformation playbook by touting an inhaled steroid to treat measles
Trump’s health secretary said budesonide was helping to “heal” measles patients. It’s reminiscent of the days when fringe doctors said ivermectin could cure Covid.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
