Female athletes are speaking out about their concerns over the fairness and safety of having biological males compete in women’s sports.
The Liberal Secretary of Sport turns a blind eye to their concerns, dismissing them as a “simply stupid, conservative pseudo fantasy.”
Women’s voices continue to be dismissed and ignored, raising the question: when will the Liberals start listening to the women directly affected by these policies?

Three years ago today, there was no war raging in Gaza. There was a ceasefire.
Then, in the early hours of 7 Oct, Hamas launched a coordinated invasion of Israel. Thousands of armed men crossed the border & they deliberately went looking for civilians.
They went into homes & murdered families. They killed children & elderly. They abducted men, women & children & dragged them back into Gaza as hostages where civilians cheered.
And they attacked the Nova music festival. Hundreds of young people were dancing in the desert when terrorists descended on them. It is grimly familiar to see Islamist terrorists choosing a place of music, dancing, & freedom as a killing ground. Manchester. The Bataclan. Nova.
There are photographs & videos of what happened that day because, extraordinarily, many of the perpetrators filmed it themselves.
There is a plethora of evidence of sexual violence. There is the intercepted call in which a Hamas attacker excitedly told his parents that he had killed 10 Jews “with my own hands”. They raped & burned bodies, hunted people through fields & into bomb shelters, & paraded terrified hostages through Gaza.
It was an atrocity.
And something happened in the West almost immediately afterwards that I still struggle to comprehend.
Before Israel had even buried its dead, people thousands of kilometres away began finding reasons why the victims had it coming.
Within days, the murderer and the murdered had begun swapping places in the popular imagination.
Three years later, antisemitism has returned with a fervour to Western society with a speed and confidence that should terrify us.
Ancient conspiracies about Jewish power & blood libels have been repackaged in the vocabulary of “decolonisation”. Jewish people around the world have been expected to account for the actions of a foreign government. People have celebrated or rationalised terrorism as “resistance”. Influencers who could not have found Gaza on a map 4 years ago have turned Palestine into an entire political identity.
And an extraordinary amount of propaganda has been swallowed without the slightest curiosity about the people producing it.
So, since the word itself is now treated as an obscenity I will admit that I am a Zionist.
Zionism, at its most basic, is the belief that the Jewish people have a right to national self-determination in their historic homeland & that Israel has a right to continue to exist as a Jewish state.
That does not mean believing the Israeli government is always right. It does not mean supporting every military action, every politician, or every policy. It does not mean believing Palestinian civilians have no rights or that their suffering does not matter.
It means I believe Israel should exist. Shouldnt be eradicated.
If Israel’s objective were simply to obliterate Gaza without regard for civilian life, it possesses the firepower to inflict destruction on a vastly greater scale. But they don’t.
Hamas, meanwhile, has repeatedly made clear that it regards the destruction of Israel (not peaceful coexistence with it). They have turned down peace deals & 2 state solutions.
You can grieve for innocent Palestinians. I do. And you can criticise Israel. I do.
You can also believe that every innocent life lost in this war is a tragedy.
But I will not pretend that Hamas is a liberation movement. I will not romanticise men who deliberately massacred & raped civilians. I will not accept that murdering Jews is morally complicated because the murderers have run a highly successful propaganda campaign.
And I will not participate in the extraordinary collective amnesia about how this war began.
On 7 Oct 2023, people were dancing. Then Hamas came across the border to kill them.
I remember them today.

CIF-SS (California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section) leaders are the most feckless, low-effort wimps on the planet.
They’ll fight minors and mid-tier public schools in court with their pit-bull attorneys, but never seriously investigate a blue-chip athletic program or wealthy private school with violations.
Thank you, Sonja, for standing up to these spineless cowards. Protecting girls is too risky for them?
Enough is Enough!!#ProtectGirlsSports #ProtectourDaughters
@CIFSS @CIFState
Suddenly the "Pay us reparations now" peeps have gone all quiet🤔🤣

In Albo’s woke world, ideology comes before biology.
In mine, the rights of women and girls come first.

WOMEN REMOVED FROM THEIR POSTS AT THE EIFFEL TOWER, SO A RELIGIOUS GROUP WOULDN’T SEE THEM!!
Disgusting.
They hid the women.
At the Eiffel Tower. A national monument.
Female staff told to leave their posts, stay out of sight, get replaced by men so a religious delegation wouldn’t have to look at them.
Made invisible. In France in the 21st Century what a joke this isn’t the Middle Ages.
Marine Le Pen has commented and she is right:
“In France, we will never accept that the presence of women be limited. All light must be shed on what happened during this visit to the Eiffel Tower.”
Agreed. Whoever signed that off should be named and sacked.
Left-wing governments will lecture you about women’s rights all day then hide the women the second a Guests religion and rules collide with ours.
Why are we appeasing this? Who voted for women to be made invisible in Paris?
This is the test, every time. Your rules, or theirs. Your women in public, or told to disappear so a Religion that isn’t your country’s own isn’t offended.
They keep pushing it. Little surrenders. Then they call you extreme for noticing.

As the scale of the tragedy in Nepal becomes apparent today, all of the Gurkha family stand united in support of the people affected. We salute the work of our brothers and sisters in the Nepal Army and emergency services as they deal with the aftermath of the catastrophic river flood. Our Gurkha family is working together to do what it can. British Gurkhas Nepal and the Gurkha Welfare Trust are working hard to ensure our people are safe and that we can help and support the Nepalese authorities in any way we can. Many lives and livelihoods have been lost, and the path to recovery for Nepal, yet again, will take time and considerable effort. Our hearts go out to those who have lost family and friends. We are with you.
Colonel Commandant Brigade of Gurkhas.

11yrs later and still no "sorry". That's not an apology. That's a response to the backlash.
@Neutrogena should be ashamed...and boycotted🤷♀️

💥NEW: Hall of Fame Linebacker Brian Urlacher *LAYS INTO* male athletes who won't say men shouldn't play women's sports💥
"They should just MAN UP and say it! ... especially if you have DAUGHTERS, you have girls who are gonna play sports! It would be really hard for me not to stand up and say what I believe in."
These athletes would never let their own daughters compete against males — yet they refuse to say it publicly.
Their silence speaks volumes.

“We shouldn’t be putting money in the pocket of inhumane legislation right now through she that shall remain nameless…”
The only reasons anyone would say that stopping men from accessing women only spaces is “inhumane legislation” is they’re completely ignorant to what they’re actually talking about or they’re outright malicious.
Either transgender ideology has turned people into proud misogynists or they always were & a relishing in the opportunity to articulate it.
The fact that they don’t even think about women, only the men who claim to be women, is proof that they know they’re not women. Because if they thought they were actually women, they’d treat them like they treat women.
If this is true, it is disgusting.
Then they wonder why homeschooling numbers increase🤷♀️

This is significant. @Jilliantweeting has paved the way for every doctor in Australia to speak up. There are no excuses.

More than 30 sports here in the Uk, though uk law says that women & girls sport should be for females, based on the reality of human biology, still allow males to identify into teams & in races. @Sport_England still give tax payers money to many of these sport, against the wishes of the vast majority of the public, who believe females are worthy of their own category, free from all males. Stand up for our girls. Our battle for sporting opportunities has been long & hard, now we’re being treated as 2nd class citizens, all over again.

She did it AGAIN!!!! Idk how @JenniferSey keeps doing it but she does.
I’m definitely not crying over this one. My eyes just leak like this sometimes.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay
To all the women being forgotten about. Except by a few of us.

I set fire to my school when I was thirteen years old.
They sent me to an institution. I was there for about a month. A man in that facility did something to me that I have never spoken about publicly until today. I was a child. He was not.
I carried that for thirty-one years. Through a marriage. Through five kids. Through driving a garbage truck at 5 AM and writing between stops in parking lots with the engine running. Through 1,800 posts and 26,000 subscribers, and a ministry I built with my bare hands.
Thirty-one years of silence.
I'm breaking it now.
Not because I want your sympathy. Not because I want to "process" or "heal" or whatever word the therapists use. I'm breaking it because I watched a 22-year-old kid on the Shawn Ryan Show this week describe being groomed on Roblox at twelve years old, by a developer that Roblox put in their own commercials, and I sat in my chair, and I could not move.
Not because of what happened to him.
Because I looked at a picture of my own children on the wall across the room.
And I thought about every screen in my house. Every app I never opened. Every conversation I never asked about. Every night, my kids were in their rooms on devices I paid for, connected to platforms I never checked, talking to people I never met.
And I realized something that made me sick.
I've been so busy carrying my own silence that I almost missed what was happening right in front of me.
Let me tell you what's happening.
Right now — tonight — there are grown men on Roblox, Discord, VR Chat, and a dozen other platforms your children use every single day. They have playbooks. Not metaphorical playbooks. Literal, documented grooming strategies. They build trust with your kid over weeks. They gift virtual currency. They isolate. They normalize. And then they destroy.
The kid on the Shawn Ryan Show tried to kill himself at fifteen. His mother reported it to Roblox. The company did nothing. The predator — a man named Kevin Nolan, featured in Roblox's own TV commercials on Cartoon Network — is still free. Still online.
Seven hundred thousand people watched that interview in two days.
Twenty million reports of child exploitation hit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline last year. Twenty million. Reports of online enticement surged 192% in a single year. And those are just the cases someone actually reported.
Your child's bedroom is not safe. Not because you failed as a parent. Because the battlefield moved into your house through a screen, and nobody told you.
I know what it feels like when a man reaches for a child in a room no one is watching. I know what it does to a boy. I know what it costs him for the next three decades. I know the silence. I know the shame. I know the way your body flinches at things you can't explain, and your wife asks what's wrong, and you say "nothing" because you don't have the words.
I have the words now.
And I'm using them.
I'm not starting a movement. I'm not launching a nonprofit. I'm not pivoting my platform. I'm doing what a father does. A father protects his own. And he warns other fathers.
So here's your warning.
Check your kids' phones tonight. Not tomorrow. Tonight. Open Roblox. Open Discord. Look at the friend lists. Read the messages. Ask your child who they're talking to. And when they say "just my friends" — verify it. Because the man who hurt me was supposed to be helping me. And the man who groomed that kid on Roblox was supposed to be making games for children.
The people who destroy children don't look like monsters. They look like helpers. They look like developers. They look like youth pastors, coaches, and family friends. And they are counting on you being too busy, too trusting, or too distracted to notice.
Don't be.
Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. — Nehemiah 4:14
That was written for men standing on a wall with a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other. Building something and defending it at the same time.
That's us.
I wrote the full story on Substack today. Everything I've never said. What happened to me. What I found. What I'm going to do about it. And what I need from you.
If you're a father, read it. If you're a mother, read it. If you have a child with a screen in their hand, read it.
And if you know someone who needs to see this — share it. Not for me. For the kid in the room, no one is watching.
I'm done being silent.
We're not hiding anymore.
