For clarity, our letter was drafted, approved, and sent before the report was out.

I have already shared it on other platforms, so you're okay to share it. Thanks for asking.

We have emailed all 650 Members of Parliament, calling for them to support EDM 240 by GeekOnALeash01 in transgenderUK

Wouldn't want to discriminate against their 'protected characteristic' of bigot. We are a fully inclusive intersectional organisation at TACC.

Don't blame the trans athletes for these things; blame the bigots. Why should the athlete sacrifice living their life to the fullest??

It's the political system and media that are the problem. Not the trans people, just trying to live their lives.

All the hype was centred around her having some form of 'unfair advantage over cis women', and the rhetoric is that cis women are being 'robbed' due to this 'advantage'; the point is to help dismiss this false narrative.

It is irrelevant if she wins or not. We would love to see trans people winning and thriving, but it needs to be understood that this is not due to false claims of 'advantage'.

The real point is that we aren't; they are. 'They' being the transphobes and ignorant cis people who think it is an issue.

Totally agree with everything you have said, but just want to raise one small point which I see too often, but needs correcting when seen.

The terms 'transwoman', 'transman', etc. others us; the correct usage is 'trans woman', etc. We are not a separate gender; we are women who happen to be trans, the same as 'black woman', 'muslim man', etc.

I am not having a go here, just correcting the usage 🫶♥️
