"You don't do it," she says.
"Do what?"
"The head bob thing." She imitates the casual upthrust of the chin David had demonstrated seconds before. "You just do that little wave."
I miss a step, my cheeks turning red. I start to stammer, and she bumps her shoulder into mine.
"It's cute," she says.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I would add that anti-trans activism - genitally-obsessed bigotry - IS a real issue facing women.
“That is what makes it so morally bewildering to me that these culture war clowns are supposed to be a bastion of women’s rights. While they try to strip the dignity from a marginalised minority, frontline women’s services are on the verge of collapse.”

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.
In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.
