Hundreds marched on Wembley on Sunday for a teenage girl banned from football for asking a “bearded” transgender opponent “Are you a man?” as a second protest is planned. The Telegraph has more.
A second protest over the banning of a teenage girl for asking a “bearded” transgender opponent “Are you a man?” has been planned for England Women’s friendly against Switzerland.
It follows a demonstration before the men’s Nations League game against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday, with more than 200 women and men estimated to have descended on Wembley amid growing outrage over the six-match suspension imposed on a 17-year-old with suspected autism, who wept upon being grilled about her comments.
A group calling itself Twelve O Five, which organised Sunday’s protest, is planning a second demonstration at the Lionesses’ friendly at Bramall Lane next month.
The Wembley action, staged halfway down Olympic Way, was also protesting against the Football Association’s policy of allowing those born male to play in women’s football.
It featured a number of chants, including, “Stand up for girl’s football”, and, “Boys and girls are not the same. We don’t want men in our game. On the pitch or on the court, keep men out of women’s sport”. …
The protest was welcomed by the mother of the girl, who was banned last month by the FA’s national serious case panel and missed the first match of her suspension on Sunday. …
The girl whose plight triggered Sunday’s protest will miss two matches for her club, with the remaining four games of her ban suspended for a year. …
She was found guilty at a hearing last month on the basis of her own evidence to the panel, which had included that she had sought guidance from the referee over the eligibility of a trans opponent and had expressed concerns for her own safety.
That is despite her denying that doing so constituted transphobia and the referee also having not noticed anything he deemed to be discriminatory.

The video clip of this epic woketard prat, John Oliver, who seems to fully support males in female sport and thinks they have no advantage and that there are zero safety issues, because ‘Science’. Just no words for somebody this massively divorced from reality because they obviously are permanently marinating in Kool-Aid. Fortunately somebody who’s never short of words to express her opinions is J.K Rowling;
”An undoubtedly intelligent person spouts absolute bullshit to support something he wants to be true, but isn’t.
According to the UN, female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to trans-identified men competing against them in women’s sporting categories. Girls have been ousted from teams to make way for boys. Women have suffered serious injury playing against trans-identified men (see Payton McNabb, mentioned below).
Again and again I’ve come up against men who argue exactly what Oliver does here, using the very same talking points. With a straight face, the ‘believe the science’ guys will say ‘actually, we don’t yet have enough data to say whether men and boys are stronger and faster than women and girls’. The ‘be kind’ crew can’t see what the issue is. ‘Why are you bothered, it only affects a tiny minority of females?’
To prove to their progressive credentials – and (coincidentally, I’m sure) indemnify themselves against repercussions from cultural elites in the media, academia and publishing who’ve showed themselves more than ready to kick people to the kerb for failing to mouth the approved mantras – people with a lot to lose are currently prepared to make idiots of themselves. They’ll stare unabashedly into a camera and insist that their audiences’ eyeballs are incapable of seeing what’s plain as day, and that there’s something wrong with the great unwashed for believing that girls are being robbed of opportunities and put at physical risk.
If you want to tell the world you’re happy to watch females suffer injury, humiliation and the loss of sporting opportunities to bolster an elitist post-modern ideology embraced by a minute fraction of the world’s population, fair enough; you’re allowed your opinion. But if you’ve just told girls they don’t deserve fair sport, maybe rethink using all too real and common sexual predation against young women as a punchline for your ‘edgy’ closing joke.”

All this woke insanity will collapse under the weight of its own contradictions.
It might take a while, but it will happen.
Ultimately when reality collides with delusion, there is only one possible outcome.
Speaking of woketards, here’s another one. This time a woman. As long as there are women screwing over and back-stabbing other women and girls this will never go away. Okay, at least the U.S has Trump now, so they’ve at least got a chance, but elsewhere, such as the U.K, the future looks bleak. These people make my blood boil, but they do demonstrably exist in both sexes, so we need more right-minded people speaking up and opposing this unethical nonsense, period;
”Jen Psaki claims there’s no issue with boys in female sports, no threat to safety or fairness, and it’s not worthy of debate.
And there you have it—the concerns of citizens are dismissed, and girls getting hurt aren’t even worth discussing.
No backbone.”

Biology doesn’t exist fro them, apparently. And I wonder how they explain the existence of a dimorphic species like humanity.
Easy: They clam that human aren’t dimorphic.
In Greek and biblical idiom the beard represents maturity as opposed to the unbearded youth. It is a strong trope within our culture. Every freakshow that you visit has a bearded lady as if this is something truly extraordinary. Perhaps we need to re-examine this prejudice. The pubic hair above the female genitalia resembles a goatee beard. So does that make a bearded woman is half the woman or twice the woman it is an interesting question.
Seems like a reasonable question.
The saddest thing is that the fine old English art of taking the piss is dying. Once that is gone you have lost everything. My very being is tied up with taking the piss so it would be a great loss for me if it disappeared from our culture.
A couple of hundred isn’t enough. We need hundreds of thousands.
