I am so sick of governing bodies, boards, officials and anyone else pandering to these larpers. Please can they stop perpetuating the lie that they are women. Enough already! Stop placing male need ahead of females. Here's hoping 2024 will see more good news than bad in your round-ups JL!
OMG what a start to the year. WTF, USA boxing!? are they fucking kidding us?! That is some effective lobbying/indoctrination to achieve that isn’t it. Fucking hell. At least disc golf is non contact. Fucking hell. Filters not on line yet this year. Fuck sake. Literally a place to physically assault women in front of paying customers. Every fucking male boxer should refuse to fight until this ends. There’s no excuse. Same for all sports that celebrate male entitlement. Complete boycott.
... and so it goes on. Maybe 2024 will be the year when the world realises that such 4rseholes are not actually very important in the great scheme of things compared to the damage they are doing.
And Queens university, now enforcing controlled speech! Yeah! More undeniable proof the dystopia is here and setting up camp. I’m sure the bbc will be all over this betrayal of one of our most basic and fundamental rights! Oh i forgot the bbc has a specific department dedicated to proving to bbc management that these stories aren’t of any relevance to the license fee payers! Its only a problem if you know about it. Why are they giving us sleepless nights about human trafficking- which i can do absolutely zero nothing about, but they won’t tell me about queens. Maybe they had- i’ll have a look. I bet its not made it on the bbc website…..no i can’t see anything.
and those poor little children being taught this lie. How is everyone not united in leaving kids to just be themselves. Its unforgivable. Its beyond cruel. All those activists and passive observers like it doesn’t matter. Shame on them
Fucking contemporary art has been struggling for a while now hasnt it. Tate Britain, by all means encourage a tedious discussion about what constitutes art. yawn yawn, is it a fucking a pipe i don’t give a shit but please don’t drag us into a ‘what is a woman’ line of bullshit. That’s what they are doing, they are so desperate to ‘cut through’ to ‘be relevant’ etc, that they just do this to get attention. And of course they get it because they get public money to celebrate themselves on a daily bases. If i was in charge i’d invest the arts council grants in teaching kids music and art properly in schools. Equip the next generation to think for themselves through the arts. Not pay a load of self obsessed nobheads to continue to celebrate themselves in central London. Nobheads.
Female competitors must leave the competition when men enter as women. Period, end of story. I also appeased, when my ex-husband demanded we call him by female language. I now regret it and do not participate in this propaganda. No such thing as "true trans." Only true abuse and true gaslighting.
These men who like to play dress up really P me off! They seem to think that all it takes to be a real woman is to wear frilly skirts and pussy bow blouses, the Stepford wives have nothing on them! I wish it were that simple, real women wear trousers and jeans and find it liberating not constricting as Eric seems to! They really have no idea do they?
Another bit of news this week: On Friday 29th there was an article in The Times about Sharron Davies backing a report recommending protection of female categories in sport.
The article said that Parkrun, an event in the UK I have always liked in which people of all abilities can take part in an organised run on Saturday mornings, have refused to support the recommendations. As a result, 3 records in the women's categories are now held by biological males.
Their spokesperson said “We do not recognise Parkrun as a ‘sport’ or a ‘competition’. Some might consider this to be semantic, however, we believe it is a critical distinction and something the charity has been working hard to communicate over many years." And yet they use AGE CATEGORIES, allowing participants to rank their times against others in a similar age bracket. Here is my idea: I'm going to 'identify into the 75-79 age group and watch my ranking go right up. (i'm in my 50s and not a fast runner but would measure up better against runners in their late 70s, I imagine). If a few younger runners started identifying as veterans, it might cause a few records to change hands and prove a point!
Yes, we have reported on Park Run's ludicrous policy (and on the men who have benefited from it) several times in past months (an example below). Absolutely enraging.
Yes this is a very important report from Policy Exchange called 'Levelling the playing field' and I reported on it here with a link to the actual report:
OMG you have hit the 2024 ground running, JL! I have resisted the temptation to hit the ground running...in the opposite direction...and read all this! Thanks as ever.
The PDGA might as well have gone bankrupt as made a concession that destroys the women's sport!!
Well done brave Kevin Lister. I believe he is taking a tribunal case. There is another UK teacher currently taking a tribunal case as well.
As an art lover I ended my membership of the Tate earlier in 2023 ( should have ended it earlier) because they are totally captured. This exhibition really takes the biscuit. Feminist art historians ( and the Guerilla Girls) have long pointed out how women painters have long been ignored, or denigrated or disadvantaged. For example, ever heard of the great Renaissance woman painter Artemisia Gentileschi? Or Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock's wife ( much better than Pollock in my opinion). And now the Tate are facilitating that process by turning men into women and really rubbing it in by putting the work of this creep Rutherford next to the great Monica Sjoo!! GRRRRR!!
USA Boxing are going to end up in court because a woman is going to get killed if they don't change this policy!!
Bring on the GNS!! Please let us laugh at Humza Useless! 😎
Hopelessly shallow take: I've always loved the name Artemisia (which I first heard upon learning about Gentileschi). So pretty, isn't it? Probably what I would've called my daughter, if I'd ever had one!
I think it's time the punters started boycotting fights where men are allowed to play against women.
Be interesting to see bookies odds for these fights.
Sorry I always have to drag out Ken Clean Air Systems at this point 😂

That Mr Ryan’s a right tosser
Haha badum tish! 😄
Happy new year JL. Hope you’ve had a good one. I wasn’t going to drink today but i am now. Woops.
Unbelievable- just when you think the tide is turning, this lot turn up.
These men who like to play dress up really P me off! They seem to think that all it takes to be a real woman is to wear frilly skirts and pussy bow blouses, the Stepford wives have nothing on them!

That’s depressing. Happy new year all 😞 Roll on the GNS!
On its way soon... And a very happy new year to you, Lawlie.

I’ve got a book on Gentileschi’s life..really fascinating. I’m an art lover too and I agree about the Tate.
Thanks JL and a Terfy New Year to you. We’ve really got to make more inroads into this horror show in 2024. It can’t go on for ever… can it?
