A 6’4” male swimmer might have peaked the world! Who knew 😂

TBH, I'm a bit fed up with just cartoons from Private Eye. They should be all over this: so much about lobbying; Civil Servants over-stepping; politicians from all parties making absolute fools of themselves. They also, regarding children and puberty blockers, have a chance to make up for their woeful stance on Andrew Wakefield and The MMR nonsense

I get the feeling the Private Eye writers may be split on the subject. I remember MD writing approvingly about someone's work in relation to COVID, and mentioning that "she" was a "transwoman" (when it wasn't relevant to the article), so maybe he's more sympathetic to that side than some of his fellow contributors.

We're in a sad state if even Private Eye has reneged on the first principle of satire (nothing's sacred) for the sake of woke ideology.

And 'I must not upset my friend/teenage child who's been brainwashed'

I suspect this is an explanation, We've had months and months of MD writing about COVID, and nothing on the 16 (I made a list) events that he, as a paediatrician, could have been writing about that directly relate to GIDS, inadequate services, whistleblowing, poor evidence- base and safeguarding. I hope I'm wrong

Thank you. It great to see all those women, and now a few men, refusing to accept that twisted new world. Kellie-Jay Keen is really making waves.

Totally glad to see so many people standing up for women and girls sports! It was nice. Lots of peaking going on about this. :)

Yes. This was a real confluence of amazing women. Thank you, Will Thomas, for having no morals.

He knows exactly what he is, an unashamed cheat. His 'victories' are meaningless, but the victory he seems to be motivated by is having the opportunity to deny women what is theirs and take whatever advantages it offers. If he genuinely identified as a woman he wouldn't do this, he would care about the damaging impact it would make on women. He's a bullshitter and a liar, and I'm betting that once this is over he'll realise he wasn't transgender at all.

Great to see all those magnificent women making their presence felt and refusing to be silenced, including Kellie-Jay, literally.

Is this about gaining swimming scholarships for college? So he takes the money and then hey presto he’s a guy again.

Yes, it is. He was right about one thing when he claimed he couldn't see a future for himself as a professional swimmer until he became his 'authentic self', now that's happened and he's the woman he always was, he can. Basically, he wouldn't have had a career as a professional athlete when he wasn't anything special and didn't win all his races. So, something to do with being a loser.

Though apparently, according to an article in today's Independent, he swims no differently from any other female swimmers, he (written as 'she', of course) has no particular advantages over 'cis' women, and saying otherwise is prejudicial. All opposition to him is motivated by transphobia and comes from the conservative right. Utter shite from beginning to end, Thomas could have written it himself.

The quote of the moment from Madeleine Albright who has just died aged 84 “There should be a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women”. A lot of our females in public positions should squirm when they hear that. Female politicians right at the top of the squirmers.

Yes! I am so glad to hear that horrible woman has died. A woman who didn't care that 500,000 Iraqi children died from U.S. sanctions and bombings, who said the Serbs "need some bombing," "What's the point [speaking to Colin Powell] of having this superb military if we can't use it?" BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY, one more dead POS. Time for a bottle of prosecco!

Albright cared nothing for other women, just power and ruthlessness.

I am having one of those 'I despair' days. The lying - about such BASIC things, from everyone in power. Sickening

Expand full comment

Yeah, I know what you mean and it's completely understandable. But things do seem to be changing. Apart from anything else, it's becoming impossible to ignore what is happening, even by the faux liberal, faux left wing white middle class media. They cannot lie forever, nor will they continue to get away with demonising those who draw attention to the lies they perpetuate.

But, Ellen, I know you're not young and the lying has been going on for all of our lives. Maybe I was more accustomed to it as every day we got our smorgasbord of lies from the MSM and the government in Washington as we totted up how many Vietnamese we had killed. We've all been lied to, preparing us for the great lie that there is no such thing as biological sex.

They will always use their noses to explore. My horse got a nose full of porcupine quills from doing that same thing!

Another item to add to the list is director of The Skeptics Society, Michael Shermer's recent Substack piece, which he's now released as a podcast, titled "Trans Doper", where he starts by stating: "Puberty is a performance-enhancing drug."

Awwwww.....poor puss! All the women should just sit down on the side of the pool, refusing to enter the water with this obnoxious, spoiled, misogynistic cheat. Just ONE time should do it. Every title and record he's taken must be thrown away and the medals returned too, to be given to the women who would have won 1st/2nd/3rd place.This imposter has no right at all to be doing what he's doing to women...let alone wandering around stark naked in the changing rooms after, with his willie allegedly becoming very excited. ANYWAY....I have a Ladies Swimming Champion in my family, who was world famous in her time, the woman ever to swim The Thames (5 miles of it). She was part of 'The Beckwith Frogs' and her name was Agnes Beckwith and I bet Agnes would have kicked this man's backside, had he tried to race against her, saying he was a woman: https://outdoorswimmer.com/blogs/the-lady-champion-aquatic?fbclid=IwAR0JmbHmQsrgru3Q0QZUsNqGaT1UuxpokVsRTbmInV6lxl3eUS4LhSq5rAA

Well done to everyone who protested over in the USA. Posie did a wonderful job, as ever....and I hope that American Women will become even more inspired to sort this horrific misogyny out.

Big credit Lia Thomas - she's so good, she even performed moderately well on the men's team! Can you believe that, a woman good enough to be in the men's team! What an amazing achievement - we should be in awe of this.

One US news piece I saw had the woman reporter gushing and enthusing as if this was the case.

I find that kind of think creepy. It’s mind control.

Yes, moderately well, with the likelihood that he wouldn't have been capable of turning that into exceptionally well. Presumably, he realised the only way he was going to get the medals and prizes was by cheating. Even if he genuinely does identify as a woman, which I doubt is the case, it doesn't make him any less a cheat. I don't know how he is able to bear the cringing embarrassment of standing on the winners podium, towering above women who barely reach his shoulders. He must want it very badly, but he shouldn't be able to have it on any terms.

The Twitter account of Sav who shared the video about the athletes' anonymous letter has been suspended of course. Does anyone have a link to the video itself?

The gender extremists are going to miss their males cheating in women's sports 'never happens' conjecture.

There was also a funny spoofing of Kier Theory in PE: https://ibb.co/Lk4sZZ0
