Australia v women part 2.

In the article targeted by the eSafety Commissioner, Reduxx had revealed that Dennis was one of as many as five trans-identified male players currently competing against women in Football New South Wales competitions. An initial report from The Daily Mail Australia had chosen not to identify him when reporting on the injuries he was alleged to have caused, censoring images of him and declining to provide his name.

Thus making it easier for Riley Dennis to continue injuring women, and making it harder for women to know how to avoid injury from him. Protect the man doing the injuring at the expense of the women being injured – outstanding police work there chief!

Now we’re not allowed to talk about it. Genevieve Gluck at Reduxx:

An Australian woman was reported to police after making posts on social media about a male who identifies as transgender participating in the women’s football league. Kirralie Smith was visited by New South Wales Police after speaking to media about Riley Dennis, a trans activist who had been the subject of mass complaint last month after reportedly injuring female players.

Police visited Smith on March 30 and handed her an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) requiring that she does not discuss or approach Dennis – despite the fact that Smith lives over 200 miles from Dennis. The AVO acts as an interim order that will stand until a

The Times has more on Killips’s cheating.

A victory by a transgender cyclist in an elite women’s race has prompted renewed criticism of the UCI’s eligibility rules.

Austin Killips took the title of “Queen of the Mountains” after winning the Tour of the Gila in the United States, a five-stage race that is sanctioned by the UCI, cycling’s international governing body. It is the biggest cycle race won by a transgender rider so far.

Unlike swimming or athletics, the UCI permits trans women who have gone through male puberty to take part in elite women’s events if they have had reduced testosterone levels of 2.5 nanomoles per litre for the previous two years (men usually have ten to 35nmol/l,

Oliver Brown at The Telegraph on the latest outrage:

In what has been described as a “Lia Thomas moment” for cycling, Austin Killips, a 27-year-old transgender rider, has won first prize for women at the Tour of the Gila, the premier road race in New Mexico.

It marked the most significant result yet for Killips, a trans-identifying biological male from Chicago, who also won a medal in women’s cyclo-cross at the US National Championships and who is now tipped to challenge for a place at the Tour de France Femmes and at next summer’s Paris Olympics.

Another man steals another prize from women, and hopes to steal more.

This year’s running of the Tour of the Gila marked the

Dear _____, it has come to our attention that there is a show going on next month in your basement showcasing three women. Why is this being allowed in your venue? Why did you not seek our permission before inviting these witches to say words? Who do you think you are? Who do they think they are?

The Inquisitor General will be paying you a visit shortly. Have all your papers ready.

Dear @Blackfriars_Bar there is a show going on next month in your basement that is showcasing 3 performers that are anti trans with some being more extreme than the other. Why is this being allowed in your venue?@StandComedyClub protects the trans community. Do you? pic.twitter.com/g6LodflFzU

It’s like mission creep on steroids, or to put it another way, it’s like doing the opposite of your mission while pretending to be still doing the mission. It’s flashing a surface version of the existing mission while in reality throwing the mission out of a window at the top of the Burj Khalifa.

The WI’s new incloosion policy is what I mean.

I wonder who came up with it, and forced it on the entire organization. I wonder how much dissent and fury there was. I wonder how many women left. I wonder why the people who did this thought it was necessary. I wonder why guilt and shame didn’t stop them.

Why have a women’s institute at all … Read the rest

Yes sure it’s fine for staff to refuse to work if Those People are on the premises.

Staff are allowed to refuse to work with anyone who they want to, and it'd be really bad if they weren't https://t.co/N7iuBbyUeU

So, like this?

The Women’s Institute has a new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy as of this month.

NFWI Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy

1. Introduction
   The WI was founded on democratic ideals over 100 years ago and this commitment
   to equality is still central to our ethos today. The WI – the UK’s largest women’s
   membership organisation – is an inclusive, welcoming, supportive and progressive
   organisation for all women who live as women, including transgender women.

So there you go. It’s explicitly spelled out. Women are people who “live as women” and that includes men. It also excludes a fuck of a lot of women.

WI membership is open to all women who live as women, including transgender
women. The WI welcomes and

Stephen Daisley at the Spectator notes that trans ideology is more religion than it is political activism.

The censoring of Adult Human Female dramatises a tension between how progressives see themselves and the material reality of their ideology. By progressive, I don’t mean left-wing or radical in the traditional sense, but a political inclination that crosses party lines and places inordinate emphasis on identity, language, subjectivity and emotional fragility.

Especially emotional fragility. Trans people – especially trans women, i.e. men – are framed as crystal-like in their fragility. Maudlin anguish flows everywhere at the possibility that a trans woman might have to hear the word “No.”

These impulses are sometimes conflated with wokeness but I prefer the term ‘coercive progressivism’

Another day another burn the witch!! cancel the woman!!

Staff politics is not an excuse in law to cancel an event. If it were, imagine the trauma political parties would face trying to arrange conferences!

Still, @StandComedyClub might like to heed a couple of expensive examples. https://t.co/Mk8peWVOXL

Let’s read the Times article.

An event featuring a prominent MP who has been outspoken in the bitter debate about trans rights has been cancelled by the Edinburgh Fringe’s biggest comedy club.

Joanna Cherry was due to take part in an “In conversation with

The Telegraph:

The NHS Tavistock gender clinic has been threatened with court action by the information regulator after failing to reveal its relationship with Mermaids.

The Trust claimed in response to Freedom of Information requests from a parent that it “does not hold” emails or minutes of meetings between staff and the controversial charity, which has been accused of putting pressure on staff to transition children.

The matter was referred to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) which has now ruled that “on the balance of probabilities”, the Trust does have relevant emails.

Well that’s a good look. It seems the Tavistock is not just refusing to hand over requested information, but also lying about it. Gender ideology is not … Read the rest

Man steals first prize in women’s cycling race.

Austin Killips (Amy D Foundation) won the fifth and final stage of the Tour of the Gila women’s race on Sunday, sealing the overall victory in the process.

Of course he did: because he’s a man.

Marcela Prieto (Pato Bike BMC), who won the opening stage and wore the leader’s jersey until Killips moved into the lead after the stage 3 time trial, settled for runner-up honors on the final stage. 

She had to, because Killips was allowed to compete in a women’s race.… Read the rest
