Trump singled me out for ruining women’s sport. This is my response to him | Austin Killips
The president talks about trans athletes ‘invading’ women’s sports, while doing nothing at all to elevate, fund or support women athletes

Perhaps I’ll write a thread listing ways hybrid work has benefited my family, and provided opportunity to improve my local community, all without a loss in work productivity. Should probably do it soon since that very flexible work schedule is about to be taken away.

Spare me your "cyclists are dangerous" comments. In my years of parenting as my kids leave the house to play, go to school, go out with friends or do anything outside, I’ve never once had to say Watch out for people on bicycles.
