This is the typical reaction to me seeking single sex support to deal with being raped by my father as a young child and becoming pregnant.
Steph seems to make a habit of taking the piss by standing as a women's officer and taking senior positions in an endometriosis charity. This kind of entitled behaviour is why there is such a backlash against all trans people now. Trans women are different than women. metro.co.uk/2026/07/30/l...

I'm fine with this provided that only medical staff can see my birth sex instead of receptionists etc. and my title and gender is accurately listed for general purposes and being addressed.
"Sex at birth (observed)" is now a mandatory data item in the NHS core information standard (v2.0.1). It also appears (if I am reading this correctly) that gender identity and pronouns have been removed. The NHS are transphobic as fuck!!! standards.nhs.uk/published-st...
This defacto means that likely 3/4 of the prize money will go to males. The top 3 finishers will be male. The top 3 men will be male. The top 3 nonbinary will probably be male. This kind of "inclusivity" functions to further marginalize females.
I'm sure many athletic children could outcompete me in the sport of their choice. Does that entitle me to a place in a kid's division? How about the Paralympics? I could never run as fast as the best disabled athletes can. Should I thus be given a place, as an able bodied person?
I think you either have to accept trans specific leagues or trans women playing in mixed or male divisions. Because ultimately it's not fair to have people with a male advantage in female divisions.
A "maybe trans people should have their own league?" take on the topic of trans people in sports. Thanks, Stephen A. Super fresh suggestion. No one's ever made it before. Totally new. 🫠
