Great tweet from JKR which for some reason i can't link too:
"We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children"

Basically, they've sold everyone the idea that the hormone treatments and surgery will save "transgender children's" lives without a shred of evidence. Now that the inevitable evidence to the contrary is coming out, they will try to squash it or discredit it as much as possible. It is an absolute scandal and warrants criminal investigation IMO.

There's no problem setting up a single sex space in the UK providing it's proportionate to achieving a legitimate goal eg Rowling funds Beira's, a single sex rape crisis centre. If it's not proportionate you can end up in court of course ...
What's the situation in Australia and NZ?
I get the feeling in Australia you need to preapply for an exemption. Not sure in New Zealand ...
Sorry, might be dumb, but don't understand a word of that. Care to explain?
I'll have a go. Whilst the equality act in the UK allows for single sex (as opposed to single gender) spaces, in Australia they have butchered the legislation such that there is no concept of sex and it has been replaced by gender, hence why Giggle and a lesbian group in Melbourne can't exclude males. Both have been to court to argue their case but have lost.
This is madness of course, but even in the UK the law is not as clear cut as it should be (hence the desire in some circles to clarify the Equality Act), and even with the ability to segregate, agencies, companies and charities have all gone too far in allowing men into women's spaces as long as they say they're a woman. Look at the other rape crisis centre in Edinburgh as an example - run by a man in a dress, allows men into those spaces as long as they say they're a woman.
The entire culture needs to change back to default excluding men from women's spaces & sports etc.

The above also doesn't take into account how many women have missed out on even competing at competitions as they lost their spot to a male that was selected instead.

Fuck the IOC and the stupid fluffybunnies who defended this
‘No beating around the bush’ from the article
Well played that man
Looking forward to the apologies, stripping of the medal, and the lawsuits.
Blind Pew could see this coming.

Yes, a male with DSD, which is what every reputable expert like Emma Hilton were saying. There has to be consequences for the people that enabled this to happen, it's not a super complicated topic and there was no shortage of experts that were willing to help the IOC understand the issue.
-
I wouldn't hold your breath, its the same issue as Semenya and they're still trying to find a way for him to compete, yes there's the added issue of a man beating up a woman in this case but other than bad PR, I don't see why the IOC would react differently

Less enthused after skimming it...
Bugger all data supporting the use of puberty blockers, no reliable data.
So why the hell has this experiment been allowed to occur?..and with other countries now nearly outright banning it, why don't we follow suit?
