Keeping hope alive…in a little corner of Los Angeles, in a cross-fit gym in Van Nuys, the owner and coaches call out different weight requirements for men and for women, daily, using those words multiple times per class. There are no objections. I would have never imagined these words would sound as sweet and wholesome as they do. In these little pockets of the world, life is still based in reality. 💕
What a sterling line up of those who are so eager to state publicly, "MEN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE, MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU EXPENDABLE WOMEN!!!"
Of all your nominees Milli, I agree with your choice, not just for the reasons you gave, but for the utter and complete unfairness of a sport where winning is entirely vested in the human body, its construction and physiology. Right now, there is a whopping 10 minutes that separates the world record marathon times for men and women, so what an invitation to men to cheat their way to victory than this. Even if a bit "weakened" by a tad too much estrogen, some men (or several of them) should have no problem breaking that finishing ribbon well ahead of some mere women, (who will then be told, "you should have trained harder"). Yeah, right mate.
Isn't it a bit funny that if sex, orientation and gender woo are all sort of spectrum-y, the entire world's fertility clinics still insist that there is only one way to create new humans? Hm, I'm betting they won't be putting out invites for TW any sort of IVF treatment that doesn't involve their sperm and ahem, a real woman. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/we-told-you-so
I have seen calls to restore sporting prizes, unfairly given to men, to women now. I so hope that happens.
It's also a bit funny that if it's all a spectrum, you have surgeries to make you the 'opposite' sex. Surely if it's a spectrum the surgeries are not needed? Or at least, they are somewhat 'binary' in their approach?!
Brilliant - as ever, love your quick (and always wryly funny) response to major events. And also as ever, the pompous, smug, superior tone of so many of these (supposed) virtue signallers…😵💫
The smug is off the scale right now isn't it. The opportunity to virtue signal is one of the worst aspects of social media isn't it. And also to have your virtue signalling scrutinised and policed.
The “smug” is indeed off the scale. We need to stop calling them “trans women.” I know that’s hopeless in the general public but I prefer to call them “ex-men.” They are NOT women.

Good to know Evelyn! xx
That’s great! In California, too!
Yup! My gym so far appears untouched by the gender craze.
A great article with stiff competition for the prize!
Plenty of hare-brained stupidity,
Amazing levels of it. I also had a few other prizes lined up, including Biggest Reverse Ferret, but ran out of time, space and the will to live! x

The London Marathon is I believe acting contrary to UK Athletics rules 🤨
Agree and I do so hope they either see sense or are made to see sense.
It is, as a rated event with professional competition
