The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades. Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.

Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) exchange discussing political pragmatism and the Overton window.
The initial post by onion person (@CantEverDie) reads:
> "doesn't matter, this is about what the right is able to push with the overton window. first its democrats needing to disavow trans women in sports to get elected, next it'll be agreeing to ban access to HRT to get elected. we've seen how this plays out"
>
A reply from Nick Pappas (@NickAPappas) reads:
> "Are you insane? The Overton window didn’t even include this discussion until recently. The public has never been in favor of desegregating the sports by sex.
> Personally I’m glad Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. Not because that was the right position, or one he even actually held, but because he knew the public wasn’t with him on it. If he hadn’t won he wouldn’t have been able to appoint 2 of the justices who ultimately voted in the majority for Obergefell.
> Lincoln in 1860 didn’t even run on abolishing slavery! He just wanted to stop its expansion. And thankfully he did that and won because a more extreme and morally correct position would have lost. As a result he was able to win the Civil War and push through the 13 amendment.
> Political practicality is the entire history of progress in America. There’s no other way."

What Féile an Phobail row has shown is that women’s rights are at risk — just not from a tiny trans minority
Belfast Telegraph27 Jul 2026ALLISON MORRIS
I’ve thought long and hard about commenting on the controversy over the cancellation of the Women’s Rights Network (WRN) event at Féile an Phobail — not because I don’t have an opinion, but because it is a debate that attracts the most toxic elements.

WRN NI was not a group I was familiar with beforehand, so I did some research.

No speakers were listed in the Féile programme for the planned event, which in itself is odd as there are for almost every other of the 90-plus debates and discussions.

The group has since announced who its speakers were to be in a series of online posts.

My research took me down quite the rabbit hole — a who’s who of the anti-trans movement not just on this island but Europe-wide.

I don’t pretend to understand their motivation.

In fact, I remain baffled as to why in one of the most dangerous places for women to live in Europe, the group — which has spoken out about femicide before — is obsessing about a small minority instead of the actual dangers we face from domestic violence and femicide.

I have worked for decades covering violence against women and girls in all the distressing forms that takes.

I know the names of every woman and child murdered in Northern Ireland in the last 10 years without even having to look them up.

Not a single one was caused by a trans woman — I checked the list twice just to be sure.

None of them were murdered in a public toilet either, which having looked at the online posts of WRN and their many affiliates, is apparently the most dangerous place on earth for women, with trans predators lurking in every cubicle.

Apart from the absurdity of much of the group’s argument regarding the perceived dangers of trans women, the claim that women are being silenced by Féile is the most disingenuous of them all.

rowling says:
Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund.

Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do not have the same power or influence to defend ourselves

Text reads: In March NHS England launched a public consultation on their updated prescribing policy for gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) for trans youth.

The new policy says GAHT can no longer be accessed before the age of 18. It was based on NHS England evidence reviews that had no clear rationale and a deeply-flawed methodology.

Text reads: This latest withdrawal of gender-affirming care is another example of shocking decision-making by NHS England.

Now, 85 clinicians, researchers and academics have written an open letter to Medical Director James Palmer, raising their concerns and demanding that the policy be reversed.

I have written this letter to my local MP about the EHRC guidelines on single sex spaces. @nionwomen.bsky.social

As a resident in your constituency and member of the LGBTQ community, I am writing to ask you to oppose the EHRC guidelines on single-sex spaces and to do what you can to prevent them from becoming law.
I wrote to you last year following the supreme court ruling on the definition of a woman. I explained why the term
'biological woman' is scientifically illiterate and largely meaningless and explained that there would be many people excluded from society if we use strict, binary groupings to determine gender. As a reminder, I wrote:
- What does 'biological sex' mean? Is it 1. what's on your birth certificate? 2. genitals? 3. hormonal? 4. chromosomes? 5. A combination of all of these?
- If 1. will we all now have to carry our birth certificates around with us and present them every time we wish to urinate or try something on in a shop? If 2. Will we have to present our genitals for inspection? If 3. Will we have to take a 'gender test' similar to that undergone by elite athletes?
- Where will intersex people go? There are statistically as many intersex people as those who have red hair. Will cis women with naturally high testosterone be allowed to use single sex spaces? What about cis women who are post-menopausal?
I still have the same concerns, even as the gender critical lobby have apparently gained even more of a strangle-hold over public policy in the interim.

If the EHCR guidelines become law, trans people will effectively be pushed out of public life. Furthermore, it will embolden self-appointed gender-police to challenge cis women who they do not deem 'feminine' enough in public toilets and changing rooms. We have already seen this happening in the United States, where men have filmed themselves confronting and intimidating tall, muscular, short-haired or otherwise gender non-conforming women. The stated aim of this guidance is to keep men out of women's spaces, but in reality it has the opposite effect - Perverts and dangerous men who are radicalised far-right and gender critical social media content, who are unhealthily obsessed with other people's genitals and believe they can tell who is trans simply by looking, now feel entitled to harass women under the guise of 'protecting' us. It is an own goal for feminism.
As a tall cis woman, if this guidance were to be endorsed by parliament I would feel less safe.
The women who support the EHRC guidance are a very loud (and in many instances well-funded) minority. Polling consistently shows that most women support trans people's rights to use spaces which align with their true gender. Please represent us in Parliament and in your work around this issue.
Thank you
