At least 9 males ran in the Female category in UK parkrun today. One got 1st Female. His total haul of 1st Female finishes is well over 100 now, and thanks to him, the total number of 1st Female finishes held by men (that I’m aware of) is now 290. He also got 3rd by age grade…

🚨A male student won the Girls Shot Put Class A state title at the New York Outdoor Track & Field Championships today. Jeff "Julia" Arnold is currently ranked the #1 "female" athlete in Girls Shot Put 4kg in the state of New York.

There is no evidence that including trans athletes undermines competitive integrity. Integrity in sport means fair play and respect for all competitors. Inclusion supports those principles by keeping competition based on performance, not fear or assumptions. #TransAthletes

Maybe I am an old fogey, but it really feels like the opposition to and demonization of trans people in the United States happened at such a rapid clip. And it feels like a big part of it is due to the fact most people don't know a transgender person in their daily lives.

🟠 BREAKING: CHILD RAPIST SUES VICTORIAN LABOR OVER CONDITIONS IN THE WOMEN'S PRISON LABOR PUT HIM IN 🟠 A man convicted of raping his own 5-year-old daughter, filming the abuse and sending the footage to a US paedophile is now suing the Victorian Labor government over conditions in the women's prison Labor placed him in. WHAT HE DID Anonymised by the court as Hilary Maloney, the offender pleaded guilty in 2024 to three charges: Persistent sexual abuse of a child under 16 (Victorian, max 25 years, standard sentence 10 years) Producing child abuse material via a carriage service (Commonwealth) Transmitting child abuse material via a carriage service (Commonwealth) He offended on at least 19 occasions over 33 days in May and June 2023. The victim was his own 5-year-old daughter. He lived in the same home as her and her mother. He produced 77 files. He sent them to Samuel Booth, a US paedophile he met online in a self-described master and slave dynamic. THE SENTENCE County Court Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis sentenced Maloney to 4 years 9 months. Non parole: 2 years 6 months. The standard sentence for the state offence alone is 10 years. The judge accepted gender dysphoria reduced Maloney's moral culpability. She accepted online manipulation by Booth reduced it further. She said Maloney was "highly unlikely" to reoffend unless coerced again. THE WOMEN'S PRISON Maloney was placed in Dame Phyllis Frost Centre under a Victorian Labor policy that imprisons offenders by gender identity, not sex. The same policy was in place in 2022 when a female prisoner was sexually assaulted by a trans identifying male murderer in another Victorian women's prison. The Allan government settled the victim's claim in secret. THE LAWSUIT Maloney is now suing the Victorian Government over treatment in custody, including 13 months in solitary confinement. The taxpayer pays the damages either way. THE FEDERAL FIX The Coalition's Crimes Amendment (Mandatory Minimum Sentences for Child Sexual Abuse) Bill 2025 would impose a 5-year mandatory minimum on serious federal child sex offences. Albanese Labor has blocked it twice. Maloney is eligible for parole in 2027. His daughter will be 9. Read the full story here: onenewsaustralia.com/trans-p…

I'm a cardiologist. A 42-year-old mother of two came to my office complaining of jaw pain and crushing fatigue. She ran half-marathons. Her EKG was normal. Another doctor had sent her home with anxiety medication. When I got her into the cath lab, I found severe microvascular disease — plaque choking the tiniest vessels of her heart, the ones standard angiograms routinely miss. Her heart had been starving in silence while everyone told her she was stressed. She is alive today. Too many women like her are not. Heart disease kills more women than every cancer combined. And medicine is still diagnosing it through a male lens. 84% of cardiologists report having patients in the past year whose heart disease was misdiagnosed by another physician. Women with a STEMI heart attack have a 59% greater chance of being misdiagnosed compared to men. Women with an NSTEMI — 41% greater chance. The reason is structural. For decades, we screened, tested, and treated women using a template built for men. Men's heart attacks announce themselves — the crushing chest pain, the clutched fist, the Hollywood collapse. Women's hearts whisper. Crushing fatigue that feels like wearing a lead vest. Jaw pain written off as TMJ. Nausea blamed on a stomach bug. An ache between the shoulder blades blamed on a long week. Shortness of breath blamed on being out of shape. For years, medicine called these "atypical" symptoms. They are not atypical. They are female-typical. Half of humanity is not a variant. And the biology runs deeper than symptoms. Women have smaller hearts and narrower coronary arteries. Plaque doesn't only clog the big highway vessels — it hides in the microvasculature, the tiny branches feeding the heart muscle itself. A woman can have a heart attack with a completely "clean" standard angiogram. SCAD — spontaneous coronary artery dissection — occurs 90% of the time in women. Often young, fit women with zero traditional risk factors. It's the leading cause of heart attack in women under 50, accounting for roughly one quarter of all cases in that age group. Most doctors have never diagnosed one. And some of the most dangerous cardiac risk factors are hidden in women's medical histories where no one thinks to look: Preeclampsia or gestational hypertension doubles to quadruples lifetime heart disease and stroke risk. Pregnancy is the body's first cardiac stress test — and these complications are early warning sirens, not closed chapters. Autoimmune disease — lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis — far more common in women, turbocharges inflammation and plaque formation at any age. Cardiovascular disease in women aged 20-44 is projected to surge nearly 50% by 2050. The youngest patients in my practice keep getting younger. What every woman should ask her doctor — and what every doctor should be asking: "Given my pregnancy history, autoimmune status, and family history — what is my full cardiovascular risk?" If they don't ask about preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, volunteer it. "Should I have an Lp(a) test and a coronary calcium score?" Standard cholesterol panels miss too much. Lp(a) is genetic, one-time, and most women have never been tested. "My tests came back normal but my symptoms haven't stopped — what's next?" Normal stress tests and angiograms can miss microvascular disease, spasm, and SCAD. Persistent symptoms warrant coronary CT angiography or cardiac MRI. And if something feels wrong — say these exact words to your doctor: "I am concerned this could be my heart." That single sentence changes the workup. Do not soften it. Do not apologize for it. 80% of heart disease is preventable. But the playbook has to be built for female biology. Two decades ago, I wrote one of the first books warning that heart disease was the number one killer of women and that medicine was diagnosing it through a male lens. It was recognized by First Lady Laura Bush at the White House during the early years of the national conversation about women's heart health. I'm haunted by how much of that book I could republish today unchanged. The science has advanced. The awareness has grown. But the gap between what we know and what happens in the exam room is still costing women their lives. Share this with every woman you love — and every doctor who treats them.
