We wonder if members of the committee think this is toxic? Or does abuse not count if it's just women at the sharp end? @NadiaWhittomeMP - is this abuse acceptable? Have you called it out on Bluesky? Could you ask Sarah Owen too?
Not sure if clerks played a part? Chair announced it, TRA members all agreed with one voice, natch. On 1st day my team opened an account, these are some of the least toxic posts I read - one was a photo of a murdered colleague with my name on...But, I'm an evil terf MP so...🤷🏼‍♀️

Every MP who signed the EDM should watch this and explain why this man should be in women's spaces.
Good luck to this fella but don’t tell me that gay rights and fetishistic, heterosexual cross-dressers ‘belong’ together. LGB and TQ must split.

My charity raises funds for girls' toilets to be built in developing countries so girls can go to school for 4 weeks of the month instead of 3. This isn't rocket science. Why are girls in the UK not allowed as much dignity and privacy?
The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils. scotcourts.gov.uk/media/mv5d…

On the 28th May 2026, Bharti Fulmali appeared for India in their T20 win over England in Chelmsford. In women’s cricket. We need cheap, easily-available sex screening, pronto.

Hey @TomSteyer, my mother has also loved sports her entire life, except she didn’t get to play sports in high school because her school didn’t have any women’s teams. She’s only a few years older than you & was in college when Title IX passed. She became the captain of the first women’s tennis team at her university. My mom grew up watching her five brothers be celebrated for their athleticism. Meanwhile, she had no teams available to her. My mom is a naturally gifted athlete, but girls were expected to sit on the sidelines, cheer for boys, and never imagine themselves on the field. Then, after Title IX passed, everything changed. Her university formed a women’s tennis team. She tried out, made the team, and became team captain. That opportunity, delayed for years, shaped her life. It gave her confidence, leadership, friendships, pride, and a sense of belonging that had been denied to her simply because she was female. For millennia, women were kept out of public life, out of education, out of professions, out of the law, out of the vote, and yes, out of athletics, all on the basis of SEX, not gender. And now we are told by you, Tom Steyer, to pretend that sex is irrelevant. That male bodies pumped have no advantage. That girls should just accept losing medals, titles, records, scholarships, and privacy. That after centuries of struggle, suddenly the category “woman” is opt-in for any boy who wants in. But having inherited those rights from my mother and grandmothers who fought hard for them, I cannot and will not sit back and let you destroy them hard earned rights for future generations of girls.

‘Sex, Gender Identity and Sport’ by the fabulous @cathydevine56 Cathy has been at the forefront of the fight for fair and safe sport for women and this will be an invaluable resource.
I am delighted to announce that 'Sex, Gender Identity and Sport', is published today by Routledge and now available for order. It's edited by me, and an academic text so a bit on the pricey side, but use Code 26AFLY1 for a 20% discount. routledge.com/Sex-Gender-Ide…

This is a small update, and I like it. I think you can almost hear the sighs of exasperation from Lausanne in this part: ...
The Frequently Asked Questions page on the IOC Policy on the Protection of the Female (Women’s) Category in Olympic Sport has been updated, with additional questions and answers: olympics.com/ioc/athletes/me…

This should hopefully now ensure that all sports organisations understand that you cannot include people of the opposite sex in single sex sport. When you do the sport is not longer single sex but mixed sex.

With the EHRC guidance published, the way I see it is that parkrun has two options. - Remove all the results and records and stop timing people, and be the fun run it claims to be. - Reinstate fairness in the female category. Only females allowed, no males.

Even when height and weight are matched between male and female athletes, the male will outperform the female. The reason for this is due to musculoskeletal advantages caused by sex. Listen as I discuss the incredible data. Interview with @Outspoken_Sam.

I just had a very interesting conversation with a man who used to coach girls’ basketball. He stopped coaching because he had a female player who was 6’1, and the league decided to limit her playing time because her height made it “unfair” for the other team. He said the final straw was when one of the other teams showed up with a crossdressing boy in tow, and the boy’s playing time wasn’t limited. At the end of our conversation, he thanked me for speaking up for women. All of the decent men are on our side.

This is true the world over. People just need the courage and support to speak out.
Two-thirds of Democrats do not want men in women's sports. I represent the majority - not the radical minority who refuses to consider third-order consequences This issue is going to keep costing Democrats elections until our party wakes up to reality!

This ET decision is quite widely misunderstood, so let's try and clear it up. Short 🧵

This judgment should send shockwaves through NHS and beyond. It is to my knowledge the 1st to decide that allowing trans identifying men into women's workplace facilities is in itself discrimination and harassment against women.
📣 @FayeRCTribunal who has won her case against NHS England! Congratulations to Naomi Cunningham and Liz McGlone representing 👏👏👏 Tribunal finds the policy of permitting "trans women" to use female facilities was harassment in relation to sex & GC belief and its trans equality proceedure was harassment in relation to GC belief.

Today I ran sub 1:10 in a local half marathon, and didn’t get on the podium. A female who runs sub 1:10 is world class, and almost qualifies to represent Team GB at the World Road Running Championships. The reality of biology. People who defend men in women’s sports are idiots.
