The health and safety of women and girls

I saw this tweet and tracked down the particulars.

First, the news release:

Please send us your recommendations on how to deal with the mistreatment of women and girls in sport in Canada.

Second, the reply to Coach Blade:

Now, I haven’t read Coach Blade’s brief but I’ve been following her with great interest for a long time so I think I have a pretty educated guess about what she said. And the Standing Committee on the Status of Women said thanks but we threw it out, bye.

    I suspect “outside the scope of the study” means they want recommendations and advice that does not distinguish between trans women and actual.

    I think I’m inclined to refer to trans women as trans actual from now on. Or maybe just transactual.

    We will ignore the elephant in the room; after all, it identifies as a butterfly.

    Rob, thanks for the vote of confidence; I’m not sure I deserve it.

    In a slightly related topic, last night I received yet another call from Planned Parenthood begging for donations. I said I would not donate until they returned to using the word woman when they talked about an issue that affects women. She said she would pass my comment along. She may…but my guess is she won’t.
