RT @rosey_nz: Please share a thought for Tongan weightlifter, Kuinini Manumua, a 21-year-old woman of color who has trained for years. This would have been her first @Olympics but due to eligibility criteria, that even they now know is flawed, she ...
This is why women and girls need a feminism that recognises their sex. Otherwise they get overlooked and devalued. https://t.co/hXuv2s...

How are we supposed to have a sensible conversation about sex categories in sport we if aren't allowed to use words that describe someone's sex? https://t.co/jblr6c...

There are lots of women's sports organisations but only one so far that dares to call out the unfairness of the IOC trans inclusion policy. Who else will stand up for #NinaManumoa? https://t.co/yY77OE...
Nini Manumua missed out on her chance to go to the Olympics and represent Tonga at weightlifting. The IOC's trans inclusion policy is unfair and excludes females from their own sport. https://t.co/42np7g...

Fair Play For Women exists to speak up for sex-based rights. The reality of sex should not be taboo and must never become unspeakable. The sex we are all born matters and in a sexist society we need to be free to talk about. Thank you to all our ...

RT @BareReality: Unfair and ridiculous. You know it, I know it, and the Olympics committee knows it. https://t.co/JsRHKW...
The IOC are to blame for unfair rules. We wrote a letter signed by 60 world class athletes in 2019. We met with them in 2020 telling them why the rules were not fit for purpose. It was glaringly obvious this would happen. Why did they carry on ...
Just think about it for a moment. A testosterone-fuelle... puberty provides such a large physical advantage in weightlifting that someone can still qualify for the female category at the Olympics at the age of 43 and after breaking their arm.
Even after a career ending injury of breaking an arm Hubbard was STILL able to qualify for the Olympics at 43 years old. This shows exactly how much advantage is gained by a testosterone-fuelle... puberty and why female sport must be reserved for the ...

A man has just emailed to point out we are wrong to think sex matters in sport policy. It is really such an 'old fashioned notion' that a testosterone-fuelle... puberty gives people an advantage in sport?? https://t.co/ZRUgZt...

Thank you Steve. Nobody want trans people to be excluded from sport. But they do have to play in the right category. Transwomen are male so they must compete in the male category. Men must make room not women. https://t.co/jmpKeq...
