Women's netball league... absolute unit, a head taller than the girls, old, fat, camping out as GS for the entire match. Disbelief and dismay for us newbies. Opposing team fully mentally adjusted. Surreal.

There are deeper problems, here: these people were expecting it, seem delighted to film it, did nothing to prevent or mitigate it. No-one comes to the victim's aid. No-one soothes or holds her.
The alienation is real.

My daughter's return netball fixture with the team in her league that's fielding a large male GS is tomorrow.

It's a neurotic tic.
Inability to contain existential panic at the distressing manifestation of our physical vulnerability (and by extension, mortality) most of us studiously avoid. Some find it overwhelming every time they meet someone with a disability.
Weakness, not malice.

This was my daughter's first match in the adult league. Team of teen girls. They've all been playing club netball together for 9 years. First time out in the big league, and she's marking a creepy old fat bloke. It's an insult to women's sport, and just disgusting to witness.

Part of what confuses men about this is we tend not to be conscious of ourselves and our needs, in advance. Very few of us realise "oh, I'd hate to date {lovely woman} I'd feel so insecure and jealous all the time". We assume we're equal to any challenge.

Last week my Netballing 16-year old daughter found herself (GK) marking a chunky male player (GS) in her first adult women’s league fixture. On the spot, it was unclear how this might comply with the relevant netball rules: englandnetball.co.uk/documen…

That's the excuse.

Careful. You two might be the last ones still holding the parcel when the music stops.
WPATH has deleted the page referencing the Standards of Care 8 and appears to be overhauling both its leadership listing and member directory - which includes doctors and medics who prescribe "puberty blockers" and perform genital surgeries.
WPATH has thus far escaped regulation for their appalling medical malpractice. They are a self-regulated lobby group, and the leading authority on "transgender health" globally.
Now they are attempting to clean up their image. This is shocking and indicates that they have something to hide - such as, perhaps, their association with castration fetishists who write stories about sexually abusing children.

Autogynephilic men in positions of power urge us to support the "transitioning" of other people's children for one reason: when children sacrifice themselves to gender belief, it validates them - the old men - in their erotic fantasy.
In other news:
(4/6) Gender-affirming care is medical care. It is mental health care. It is suicide prevention care. It improves quality of life, and it saves lives. It is based on decades of study. It is a well-established medical practice.

So, no, it's not a fringe issue, it's 100% central to the contest for our political future, at the very deepest level. If the Left can't get its house in order on this simple question, the Right will be in charge for the rest of this decade, and perhaps the next. (6)

They clearly have him on GS because his height advantage is unbeatable, and also he can't muster up a run.
The girls can't use their usual marking and blocking tactics - he's a slab, for one thing, and who'd want to make ANY contact with him, for another?

There's a wall of denial around this. Many of us, men and women, don't WANT to live in a world where men loiter outside schools to trick 11 year old girls into situations where they can be raped and trafficked for cash. They just won't engage with the fact that these men exist.

I've never noticed a 'terf' to be pressed by jaw width. I have, on the other hand, seen many a trans patient submit to having the bones of their male skull shaved-down in brutal plastic surgeries because they hate what they see in the mirror.

What a puerile, playground retort.

Please don't keep mouthing these empty slogans. "Trans rights" only diverge from regular human rights by permitting men to demand to be treated as the opposite sex. Which is bad news for the autonomy of women and girls - in spaces and in sports - and especially bad for lesbians.

In the meantime, our teenaged players are expected to follow the newly updated rules of contestation with a tank of a male in his 60s about whom they know - and are allowed to ask - nothing.
Declining to play leaves the male in position and risks the girls being suspended.

You name and shame individual women for their sex realism. You denounce them as morally despicable. Or, as here, you suggest by insinuation that they're behaving like children.

Not to mention safeguards.
