Out of those tweets that I posted the one that makes most sense to me is thread by John Pike.
I have no dea who John Pike is but only got that because I follow Ross Tucker @scienceofsport on Twitter.
I listened to a podcast of his (Tucker) which made (seemingly) a lot of sense, so followed him.
He is a Saffer, and was involved in the IRB ... oops WR ... policy on trans inclusion . Which if you find the podcast is a genuinely good listen.
Hence I get the tweets, which made sense, so I posted.

It’s a promising step that he was even asked the question. Who would ask Ardern?

Any political party with any brains will bring this back or will get hammered by the general public.
Oops, I see my assumption.

Wise decision. A victory for common sense.
Transgender women no longer able to compete at elite female events run by British Cycling
Transgender women are no longer able to compete at elite female events run by British Cycling after the organisation suspended its current policy.

Good points raised here I thought.

Just simple common sense isn’t it? Basically saying what most on here feel but from a more involved perspective.
I wonder how long before the poor girl gets demonised.

@Catogrande yep. This part very pertinent
Archibald says that as a female athlete she also feels "let down" by the policies and particularly aimed criticism at the IOC.
"I feel let down by the IOC who tell me there should be no assumed advantage for an athlete with a gender identity different to their sex," Archibald said.
"I read this and hear my world titles, Olympic medals and the champions jerseys I have at home were all won in a category of people who simply don't try as hard as the men."

Looks like this parent underestimated just how fukin cool tractors are

@No-Quarter aren't they the ones stereotyping males by making the rule that tractors are a male only domain? This confusing world.

The is one of the many things where activists are tone deaf.
My son loves all the stereotypical boy stuff, my daughter all the stereotypical girl stuff. They always have.
Putting dolls in boys hands and toy cars in girls hands won't achieve a single thing. Kids gravitate towards what they want to.

They are the mirror image of the ultra traditional conservatives with the amount of importance they put on gender roles and stereotypes in society. Other than them, basically nobody in western countries are enforcing strict gender roles. In fact in human history we probably have the loosest gender roles ever by a huge margin.

Yeah, as a parent one thing that becomes very clear with your kids from an early age is that you have almost no influence on what they like. They will do their own thing regardless of what you say. In this story the Dad does end up realising this and there's a pic of him taking the boy on a tractor. You can't fight biology.
