By denying science, the medical profession is committing some of the worst moral crimes in modern times. It must end
What is a woman?
A defining question of our times, and the title of a now infamous documentary indicating the breadth of the political chasm dividing us here in the West.
Here is an answer, summarising current scientific understanding and coming from a research psychologist and clinician.
This is what it must have been like when women were marched to the stake. Yesterday in Auckland the British women’s rights campaigner Posie Parker found herself surrounded by a deranged, heaving mob. She had tomato soup and placards thrown in her face. She was doused with water. Huge men screamed insults and expletives in her face. The shoving of the crowd became so intense that Parker feared for her life. ‘I genuinely thought that if I fell to the floor I would never get up again’, she said. ‘My children would lose their mother and my husband would lose his wife.’

ESPN has been condemned by a former champion college swimmer for including transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in their segment devoted to Women’s History Month, describing the company as ‘spineless’ and tweeting the hashtag ‘Boycott ESPN’.
Riley Gaines swam for the University of Kentucky, ending her college career in 2022 as ‘one of the most decorated swimmers in program history,’ according to the UK website. She became a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and a five-time SEC champion.
The news that World Athletics has excluded transgender women from competing in the female category at international events is certainly a step in the right direction.
I have long been vocal on this matter, as I have educated myself on what the realities are for trans women competing against biological females.
The Women’s Sport Policy Working Group, of which I am a member, has looked at how best to include trans women and girls in sport without creating a disadvantage to females by forcing them to compete against trans athletes who have advantages associated with being born male.
Transgender athlete research has been shut down after a professor called trans women “males”.
Dr John Armstrong, a scholar at King’s College London (KCL), applied to carry out a survey of elite athletes and volunteers on whether trans women, who are born male, should compete in women’s track and field categories and whether they felt they could express their views.
However, the university’s ethics panel rejected his application last week citing equality and diversity concerns, in what has been labelled an attack on academic freedom.
National Public Radio (NPR) claimed that “there is limited scientific research” supporting the idea that biological males have a “physical advantage” over biological females in competitive sports.
There has been a watershed moment in the trans debate, sparked by the landmark decision about female athletes
Sport, so focused on winning and losing, on rules and competition, can bring a reductive clarity to the complexities of life. Perhaps that is why the judgement this week of the World Athletics Council was so momentous. Put simply, council president Sebastian Coe had to choose between conflicting “rights” and he decided that the right of those born women to compete fairly trumps the desire to be included in elite sport of those who have gone through male puberty but run or jump as women. “We felt,” he said, “that having transgender athletes competing at elite level would actually compromise the integrity of female competition.”

Transgender athletes condemn ban on inclusion in female events
SYDNEY/LOS ANGELES, March 24 (Reuters) – Transgender athletes have condemned World Athletics’ exclusion of transgender women from elite female competitions, while the decision was welcomed by some sportswomen as a win for fairness.
Athletics’ global governing body on Thursday voted to ban transgender women who have gone through male puberty from competing in women’s events, citing a “need to protect the female category”.
A champion female cyclist has quit the sport after constant beatings by transgender athletes, admitting in a heartbreaking message: ‘I lose no matter how hard I train.’
Hannah Arensmen, a 35-time winner on the national cyclocross circuit, revealed her ordeal in an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of legislation in West Virginia which seeks to ban transgender student athletes from competing outside their biological gender.
An injunction by a lower court is currently barring the law from being enforced over claims that it violates Title IX federal sex discrimination protections in education.
Illinois mother, Brette Smith, filed a Title IX lawsuit after one of her Twitter posts went viral resulting in her and her 16-year-old daughter being “doxed” and “threatened.” The lawsuit attacks the child’s high school who enabled ample bullying and threats according to CatholicVote.
Smith, a former Democrat posted the tweet back in September 2022 explaining that her daughter Anna, was embracing her actual, biological identity as a female. Her words included that she’d “left the cult” of the delusional sense of self identity. Praise God!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reportedly helped cancel a local school’s “Drag & Donuts” event after the state’s department of education expressed concern over the event.
The event, originally scheduled to take place at Boone High School in Orlando, Florida, was set to feature drag queen “Momma” Ashley Rose,” according to a flyer from the school’s Queer and Ally Alliance Club.

“I’m just going to warn you upfront that there is some very disturbing content coming your way here, so if you tend to become queasy you might want to give this a pass. The story that’s been going viral on social media this week involves Jazz Jennings, the transgender star of the reality TV series “I am Jazz.”
In Ireland, even the most violent and unhinged sex offenders are being housed in women’s prisons.
Last night, Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was asked about the decision to place an extremely dangerous young man, Barbie Kardashian, in a women’s prison. Averting his eyes for a moment, Varadkar claimed that until reading the Sunday papers, he had been unaware of the case, adding that he ‘may have to consider changing the law’. One might have hoped that Ireland’s premier would have been more on top of his brief given the gravity of the situation.
Hollywood star Billy Porter experienced an on-air meltdown during his appearance Tuesday on ABC’s The View when he was asked about laws in various states protecting children from transgender ideology and drag queens. “We’re already in a civil war,” he said as part of his unhinged, free-associative rant.
During a recent interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, famed atheist and biologist Richard Dawkins declared that “there are two sexes, and that’s all there is to it.”
He added that LGBTQ activists looking to discredit the reality of two biological sexes are pushing “utter nonsense.”
Dawkins further noted that those going after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for her commitment to the reality of two sexes are “bullies.”
