A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

helenwebberley.comAre transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen WebberleyThe data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

If trans people winning in women's sports was such a big "problem" then you'd think transphobes would have a lot of examples instead of one trans woman who came fifth place in swimming nearly a decade ago.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: โ€œI donโ€™t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myselfโ€

Rowling *never* writes about womenโ€™s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about womenโ€™s actual concerns or needs None

This tweet must be preserved and used in every court, especially ECtHR. The fact that an MP is suggesting trans people be banned from mixed wards just shows the utter lie of the "protecting women and girls" brigade.
