The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

But.... trans women are women aren't they?
The prosecutor said one of the officers climbed on top of a toilet to continue a conversation with him. He said: "When challenged with what he is doing in a women's toilet he said: 'Just chilling'. He then said he was there as he identified as female."
When police arrested him, they found him in possession of a mobile phone and a digital camera. He had recorded material of women using the toilet.

Next step, start locking up some of these doctors that experimented on children.
Also some of the parents who pushed their kids into transitioning or didn't take steps to protect them from unscrupulous clinicians.

This. A parent’s first duty is to protect your children. Nothing else comes close.

One of the sensible psychologists at the Tavistock Centre told of parents renaming and treating 2-3 year old boys as girls, and pushing hard for them to be transitioned before they started school - on the basis they "liked wearing dresses".
Pure child abuse.

Which is fine until medical professionals start telling you that the best way to look after your child is to support their gender transition with hormones. Then there's uncertainty - it would be incredibly tough for everyone.

Mate, not saying it’s not tough, but I couldn’t disagree with you more.
Edit: I just realised that I likely misinterpreted your reply, apologies if so. I was trying to say that the parental duty should shit all over any such “medical” advice but then realised that you were probably saying the same.

A group of 16 American women have launched a landmark legal case against the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) over the participation of transgender athletes in their sports, with their lawyer stating that the organisation has “institutionalised cheating and discrimination” against them.
With a particular focus on Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who claimed a NCAA women’s title in March 2022, the group has filed its 156-page claim at the United States District Court in the northern district of Atlanta, Georgia.
It was in Atlanta that the NCAA Division 1 swimming championships took place, with the fact that about 300 women shared a dressing room with Thomas - at the time with “full male genitalia” - cited in the complaint. Thomas claimed the NCAA title in the women’s 500-yard freestyle event, with two Olympic silver medal-winners - Emma Weyant and Erica Sullivan - finishing second and third.
The Olympians are not among the complainants but Bill Bock, formerly general counsel at the United States Anti-Doping Agency and the lead attorney in their cases against Lance Armstrong and Alberto Salazar, is acting for the group, which also includes female athletes from volleyball, tennis and track and field. Bock has told The Times that the “discrimination against female student athletes should disqualify the NCAA from being a sport governing body”.
It represents an unprecedented action against the organisation that oversees college sport in America, and could lead to substantial claims for damages as well as a change in NCAA rules on the participation of transgender athletes in female categories, which have been tightened since 2022. The women also want to be awarded what they consider to be their rightful placing in their respective events which, if successful, would lead to Thomas being disqualified. Central to their claim is an accusation that the NCAA has made a “radical departure from Title IX’s original meaning”, which is the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or education facility that receives government funding.

Does Twitter have a presence in Australia? I know they closed their Sydney office. I'd just close up shop and tell the eSafety Commissioner to fuck off.
