The weaponization of Title IX to exclude trans women does not remedy the many disparities for women in sports; instead, it exacerbates them.

This week's #TransgenderJOY pits #science vs. #rhetoric.
- #Religion is not an excuse to harm others.
- #Biology works for #TransAthletes the same as in all athletes.
- #ConversionTherapy never worked.

Wanting a PotUS who isn't going to throw me and people like me under the civil rights bus instead of inviting us to ride in it isn't the same thing as #leftists missing the homework assignment and not showing up to vote for Harris. Get fkd with this.

A science news headline that reads, “Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds.” The photo is of a white trans woman running along a vivid blue indoor track.
A headline about the Winter Olympics 2026 that reads, “‘Penis injection’ claims in Winter Olympics ski jumping investigated by Wada.” The image is of two ski jumps illuminated at night.
Let trans women compete
Investigate cis men who cheat 🤨
Whose genitals need policing again?!?

Yet *another* SCIENTIFIC STUDY showing what INTELLIGENT PEOPLE already know: Trans Women are *Not* a threat to cisgender women in sports.

Speaking as a trans woman, here, but I expected better of you, Hannah. Not saying you're a TERF but there's frankly some transphobia (and sexism) here I want to address: exclusion = segregation, which is fascist. 1/8

Riley Gaines, a mediocre swimmer with a victimization complex, rides her hatred of trans athletes to MAGA fame while ignoring the very real sexual abuse that happened on her own University of Kentucky swim team and which infects university sports. In a word, yuck. #transathletes
Trans Mythbusting
Claim: “Trans women have an inherent advantage in sports.”
Fact: Research shows feminising HRT does not give inherent advantage—some studies suggest the opposite. #TransRights #TransAthletes #SportsEquality #Mythbusting #transawarenessweek
#TransAthletes who have the right to participate in sports have my support… They should have their own changing spot AWAY from sharing with the mainstream genders…💜
What I find really sad and sickening is how #feminism is used to TWIST things thus justify their prejudice on those vulnerable… 😡⭕️
