Boris needs to follow Trump's lead and defund the BBC for putting out shit like this
www.bbc.co.uk
Throughout this article Quinn is referred to as 'they/their' rather than 'she/her' to respect their wishes around use of pronouns. Quinn has also dispensed with what they call their "dead" former first name.
"When I was figuring out who I was, it was really scary and I didn't really understand if I had a future in football, if I had a future in life."
Quinn doesn't like living in the spotlight. Yet as a professional athlete, it often comes with the territory.
But little provides a greater platform than sport, and despite being a self-proclaimed introvert, Quinn recognised the power of using that platform and of "being visible".
And so, earlier this month, Quinn, a defender for Canada's women's football team, publicly came out as transgender.
"It's really difficult when you don't see people like yourself in the media or even around you or in your profession. I was operating in the space of being a professional footballer and I wasn't seeing people like me," Quinn tells BBC Sport.
Quinn, who has five goals and 59 caps for Canada, won Olympic bronze at Rio 2016 and played at the 2019 World Cup.
The 25-year-old remains eligible to compete in women's sport despite identifying as transgender because gender identity differs from a person's sex - their physical biology.
Most people, unless they're non-binary, have a gender identity of male or female.
Quinn was assigned female at birth but after many years of questioning themselves, realised their own gender identity did not match their sex.
In an exclusive interview, Quinn tells BBC Sport how there are still "spaces of ignorance" in women's football, their Olympic ambitions, and their concern as sporting governing bodies start to weigh up transgender policies.
On coming out as transgender in an Instagram post earlier this month, it marked the end of Quinn living "essentially two different lives".
"I really didn't like feeling like I had a disconnect between different parts of my life, being a public figure, and so I wanted to live authentically," they say.
"I think being visible is huge and it's something that helped me when I was trying to figure out my identity.
"I wanted to pass that along and then hopefully other people will come out as well if they feel safe to do so and I can create a safer space for them."
Quinn had their first interactions with transgender people at college and it was at that point, they say, that they "really understood that was who I was".
"I couldn't verbalise what I was feeling before and I didn't have the right language to articulate how I was feeling before that.
"We live in a world that is so binary and I have been receiving messages ever since I was a young child about how I should act, how I should portray myself and how I should be and anything that deviated from that was essentially wrong.
"I wanted to live my authentic self, dress the way I wanted to, present the way I wanted to, and that wasn't always seen as positive, so that was really hard to digest."
Those in Quinn's personal circle have known their identity for some time, and the reaction from Canada team-mates, who they told in an email, was "overwhelmingly positive".
For "the most part", women's football is a supportive space, adds Quinn - who is currently on loan at Swedish club Vittsjo GIK from the American National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) side OL Reign - but there are still "spaces of ignorance".
"It's been a really long ride with [Canada team-mates] and they are people who I consider some of my best friends," Quinn says. "A lot of those players have been my concrete supports going through this process.
"I think when looking at the larger realm of women's football there still are spaces of ignorance and there is a little bit of push back, so those are definitely opinions that I want to see change over a period of time and to create a completely safe space for me, because quite honestly I don't think sport is there yet and women's football is there yet."
Despite their team-mates' acceptance and support, Quinn admits there is "still a lot of learning to be done".
"I'm really open for my team-mates wanting to talk to me," Quinn says. "I wasn't taught throughout the course of my life what it meant to be trans, all the language around it. I think that's something that's new for a lot of people.
"Once I started living more authentically in my life, whether that's just how I present myself or coming out to them as trans, I think they've all said to me it's really incredible to see me just live my authentic self and how I've exuded a different level of confidence, and how it just fits with who I am as a person."
Being 'openly trans' at an Olympics
Quinn hopes to take their visibility as a transgender athlete to sport's greatest level by playing at next year's rearranged Olympics in Tokyo, something which would make them "incredibly proud".
"That was one of the reasons why I came out publicly, it's because I want to be visible and I think the Olympics is a massive platform to have that visibility," Quinn adds.
"It's my hope that I might be the first and that's really exciting, but it's also my hope that there are other people following in my footsteps and so I hope that it opens the door to other trans athletes being represented at the Olympics."
Since 2004, transgender athletes have been allowed to compete at the Olympics.
Those who have transitioned from female to male are allowed to do so without restriction. However, current International Olympic Committee guidelines, issued in November 2015, state that transgender women (those who have transitioned from male to female) must suppress testosterone levels for at least 12 months before competition.
And specifically in athletics, the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (Cas) most recent ruling permitted the restriction of testosterone levels in female runners to protect "the integrity of female athletics" - but raised concerns about how those rules would be applied.

Nearly every publication, including LGBTQ news sources, has used my deadname while reporting my story. The news matters and it’s crucial to write about trans people using their name & pronouns. Please do your research, change your headlines, and grow.
Like 'nobody's bigger than the team, you're not playing for Canada again' would be a good response to her story.
A lot of people assumed that when she said she was coming out as transgender that she had been hiding as a man in plain sight for years.
So you can hardly blame even 'LGBTQ news sources' for not fully understanding your narcissistic bullshit just meant 'I am a woman playing women's sport, but I want some extra attention'.

What if you are an atheist, and don't want to wear an LGBT emblem because you're TOLD you have to wear it, and/or, you are not LGBT, and don't see why you have to wear a logo, for people to assume you don't hate the gays?NO AGENDA

Don't Want to Wear an LGBT Pride Emblem? You're Fired.
BY TYLER O'NEIL SEP 21, 2020 3:43 PM EST
With President Donald Trump in the White House, many conservative Christians may feel a false sense of security. Trump has used the administration to reverse many of Obama’s policies that restricted religious freedom. Trump even launched a religious freedom branch at the Department of Health and Human Services! Even so, the LGBT activist assault on religious freedom continues in many parts of American culture, and it is only likely to go into overdrive if Joe Biden becomes president next year.
Last week, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against the Kroger Company after a grocery store in Little Rock, Ark., fired two Christian women who requested a religious accommodation when required to wear a rainbow-colored heart emblem on an apron. These women claimed that the emblem endorsed LGBTQ values and that wearing it would violate their religious beliefs.
This did not happen in a deep-blue bastion like New York City or Seattle. It didn’t happen in Portland or Los Angeles — it happened in Little Rock, Arkansas.
According to the EEOC lawsuit, the Kroger location “implemented a new dress code, which included an apron depicting a rainbow-colored heart emblem on the bib of the apron. The women believed the emblem endorsed LGBTQ values and that wearing it would violate their religious beliefs.”
The women came forward with proactive solutions. One woman offered to wear the apron with the emblem covered and the other offered to wear a different apron without the emblem. Kroger, however, “made no attempt to accomodate their requests.”
“When the women still refused to wear the apron with the emblem visible, the EEOC charged, Kroger retaliated against them by disciplining and ultimately discharging them.”
The lawsuit claims that this retaliation violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC first attempted to reach a pre-litigation settlement through a conciliation process, but Kroger apparently refused. The lawsuit seeks monetary relief in the form of back pay and compensatory damages, as well as an injunction against future discrimination.
“Companies have an obligation under Title VII to consider requests for religious accommodations, and it is illegal to terminate employees for requesting an accommodation for their religious beliefs,” Delner-Franklin Thomas, district director of the EEOC’s Memphis District Office (which oversees Ark., Tenn., and parts of Miss.,), said in a statement. “The EEOC protects the rights of the LGBTQ community, but it also protects the rights of religious people.”
This is not some local interest story or tiny news item. The Kroger Company is the largest supermarket by revenue in the U.S. and it is the second-largest general retailer. Last year, Kroger had 453,000 employees. It is no small matter if Kroger forces a political stance on its employees and retaliates against them when they ask for an accommodation.
SPLC Demands Big Tech Silence Conservatives in the Name of Fighting White Supremacist Terror
Why not just wear the pride emblem?
Democrats, LGBT activists, and an increasing number of cultural institutions celebrate the LGBT rainbow flag as a symbol of inclusion. So what’s the big deal? Why can’t these Christians just suck it up and wear the pride emblem?
The problem is, LGBT pride flags represent the antithesis of many things small-o orthodox Christians believe. While Christians need to be sensitive to the fact that people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender have been mistreated in the past, they cannot celebrate LGBT lifestyles. It is possible to treat people with respect while disapproving of their sexual activity or their cross-sex identity.
The Bible is clear that God made humans male and female (Genesis 1:27, Mark 10:6, Matthew 19:4) and that marriage is between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24). The male-female definition of marriage is not just a lifestyle in the Bible — it is a mystery that prefigures the marriage between God and His church (Ephesians 5:31-32).
Homosexual activity is consistently denounced as sinful (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 1:8-10). That does not mean that same-sex sexual relationships do not involve love and self-sacrifice, but they also involve sin.
Christians who believe the Bible is the authoritative and inspired Word of God cannot embrace LGBT lifestyles and LGBT pride. The Bible is also clear that they should love LGBT people and preach to them “with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that when you are slandered, those who revile your good name in Christ may be put to shame” (1 Peter 3:15-17).
Tragically, many parts of American society today consider these beliefs bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, or just downright “hateful.” This likely explains why Kroger did not consider accommodation for the Christian women.
Big Tech Company Reconsiders Relying on the SPLC After Hearing About Scandals, Terror Attack
The LGBT assault on religious freedom
It may seem ironic to say that LGBT activists are attacking the religious freedom of conservative Christians. After all, aren’t Christians technically the majority of the American population? Didn’t Christians oppress LGBT people for decades if not centuries?
Over the past decade, however, LGBT activists have repeatedly targeted Christians for their beliefs, penalizing them for disagreeing with same-sex marriage or transgender identity.
Bakers like Jack Phillips gladly serve LGBT people, but they refuse to craft wedding cakes to celebrate a same-sex wedding. Florists and photographers have made the same decision.
State governments in the form of civil rights commissions have prosecuted these convictional Christians, claiming that their free-speech refusal to craft art to celebrate an event they disagree with constitutes discrimination. Jack Phillips won his Supreme Court religious freedom case last year, but the commission went after him again, anyway. A man who identifies as transgender tried to force Phillips to bake a cake to celebrate his gender transition. LGBT activists firmly declare that bakers like Phillips are guilty of discrimination.
Animus against conservative Christians has emerged at Google and at Yale Law School. Facebook blocked evangelist Franklin Graham on Christmas week over a two-year-old post about transgender identity. Cities have banned Chick-fil-A from their airports — most recently San Antonio, Texas, and Buffalo, N.Y. — because the owner has donated to Christian organizations that uphold traditional sexual ethics. Conservatives are even finding themselves expelled from the scientific community over LGBT issues.
Yet that’s not the worst of it. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has branded conservative Christian nonprofits like Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and FRC “hate groups” due to their beliefs on marriage and sexuality, listing them along with the Ku Klux Klan. ADF has won nine Supreme Court cases in seven years. A terrorist attempted to kill everyone at FRC, thanks to the SPLC’s “hate map.”
Todd Starnes: LGBT Activists ‘Want to Shut Down Every Church in America’ and Burn the Bible
The SPLC also marked the small Catholic charity the Ruth Institute a “hate group,” citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a “hate” document.
The SPLC is quite mainstream. Big Tech companies like Amazon use it to screen out “hate groups.” Schools across America receive its “Teaching Tolerance” materials. Democratic senators have cited the SPLC to demonize Trump’s administration and judicial appointees. In once case, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said of Amy Coney Barrett, “The dogma lives loudly” within her so she can’t be trusted. In another, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said that Russell Vought is “really not someone who is what this country is supposed to be about,” because he thinks Muslims do not go to heaven.
But the vitriol against Christians is not limited to this powerful organization. When news broke that Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, had gone back to teaching at a Christian school — that, SHOCKER, holds to the Bible on sexuality issues — outrage ensued, with people declaring, “f**k these homophobes!”
In the book So Many Christians, So Few Lions: Is There Christianophobia in the United States? sociology professors George Yancey and David Williamson painstakingly document the presence of bias against conservative Christians, proving that it is as real as animus against Muslims and Jews. Indeed, Yancey’s most recent research shows that animus against Christians leads some people to support LGBT activism, even when they have a low opinion of LGBT people.
Many Christians have found themselves penalized, investigated, or fired for daring to contradict LGBT pride.
So, when employers ask conservative Christians to wear an emblem celebrating LGBT pride, Christians hear that they must wear the symbol of people who hate them, who want to weaken their constitutional rights, and who fundamentally disagree with their view of the world, celebrating the sin that they think separates people from God. If that’s not a case for religious accommodation, I don’t know what is.
The EEOC was right to file this lawsuit, and this is yet more proof of just how much is at stake in this election. LGBT activists seek to demonize conservative Christians and boot them from polite society, and the Trump administration is standing in their way. I shudder to think about what will happen if Joe Biden removes that restriction.

Ummm, you can do that without claiming to be binary.
Unless you are a child living at home, you can dress however you want, act how you want, like what you want to like, etc.
Every NB I've read about seems to be an attention whore. No idea why.

So to recap
If a male athlete decides to troon out and wants to be let into women’s sports he should be allowed to participate in the women’s category because even if his sex is male his gender identity is female and people need to respect that. Female athletes need to accept having to compete against a man.
If a female athlete decides to troon out and still wants to participate in women’s sports she should be allowed to do that because even if her gender identity is not-female her sex is female and people need to accept that. Female athletes need to accept having to compete against a person like that even if she’s on testosterone and thus is doped in practice.
Questioning any of this makes you a transphobic bigot.

I like how she makes this about transgender participation in sports. If you identify as non-binary, does it make it acceptable to use testosterone in sports? If so, why wouldn't every team encourage their female athletes to be non-binary to get past those pesky regulations? This shit is so fucking stupid. Trans people should be banned from all major sports leagues at this point. You have a choice: represent your sex in sports or go LARP and experiment with hormones with your gender-special buddies.Boris needs to follow Trump's lead and defund the BBC for putting out shit like this
'I didn't understand if I had a future in life'
Quinn, a defender for Canada's women's football team, came out as transgender earlier this month.
Throughout this article Quinn is referred to as 'they/their' rather than 'she/her' to respect their wishes around use of pronouns. Quinn has also dispensed with what they call their "dead" former first name.
"When I was figuring out who I was, it was really scary and I didn't really understand if I had a future in football, if I had a future in life."
Quinn doesn't like living in the spotlight. Yet as a professional athlete, it often comes with the territory.
But little provides a greater platform than sport, and despite being a self-proclaimed introvert, Quinn recognised the power of using that platform and of "being visible".
And so, earlier this month, Quinn, a defender for Canada's women's football team, publicly came out as transgender.
"It's really difficult when you don't see people like yourself in the media or even around you or in your profession. I was operating in the space of being a professional footballer and I wasn't seeing people like me," Quinn tells BBC Sport.
Quinn, who has five goals and 59 caps for Canada, won Olympic bronze at Rio 2016 and played at the 2019 World Cup.
The 25-year-old remains eligible to compete in women's sport despite identifying as transgender because gender identity differs from a person's sex - their physical biology.
Most people, unless they're non-binary, have a gender identity of male or female.
Quinn was assigned female at birth but after many years of questioning themselves, realised their own gender identity did not match their sex.
In an exclusive interview, Quinn tells BBC Sport how there are still "spaces of ignorance" in women's football, their Olympic ambitions, and their concern as sporting governing bodies start to weigh up transgender policies.
On coming out as transgender in an Instagram post earlier this month, it marked the end of Quinn living "essentially two different lives".
"I really didn't like feeling like I had a disconnect between different parts of my life, being a public figure, and so I wanted to live authentically," they say.
"I think being visible is huge and it's something that helped me when I was trying to figure out my identity.
"I wanted to pass that along and then hopefully other people will come out as well if they feel safe to do so and I can create a safer space for them."
Quinn had their first interactions with transgender people at college and it was at that point, they say, that they "really understood that was who I was".
"I couldn't verbalise what I was feeling before and I didn't have the right language to articulate how I was feeling before that.
"We live in a world that is so binary and I have been receiving messages ever since I was a young child about how I should act, how I should portray myself and how I should be and anything that deviated from that was essentially wrong.
"I wanted to live my authentic self, dress the way I wanted to, present the way I wanted to, and that wasn't always seen as positive, so that was really hard to digest."
Those in Quinn's personal circle have known their identity for some time, and the reaction from Canada team-mates, who they told in an email, was "overwhelmingly positive".
For "the most part", women's football is a supportive space, adds Quinn - who is currently on loan at Swedish club Vittsjo GIK from the American National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) side OL Reign - but there are still "spaces of ignorance".
"It's been a really long ride with [Canada team-mates] and they are people who I consider some of my best friends," Quinn says. "A lot of those players have been my concrete supports going through this process.
"I think when looking at the larger realm of women's football there still are spaces of ignorance and there is a little bit of push back, so those are definitely opinions that I want to see change over a period of time and to create a completely safe space for me, because quite honestly I don't think sport is there yet and women's football is there yet."
Despite their team-mates' acceptance and support, Quinn admits there is "still a lot of learning to be done".
"I'm really open for my team-mates wanting to talk to me," Quinn says. "I wasn't taught throughout the course of my life what it meant to be trans, all the language around it. I think that's something that's new for a lot of people.
"Once I started living more authentically in my life, whether that's just how I present myself or coming out to them as trans, I think they've all said to me it's really incredible to see me just live my authentic self and how I've exuded a different level of confidence, and how it just fits with who I am as a person."
Being 'openly trans' at an Olympics
Quinn hopes to take their visibility as a transgender athlete to sport's greatest level by playing at next year's rearranged Olympics in Tokyo, something which would make them "incredibly proud".
"That was one of the reasons why I came out publicly, it's because I want to be visible and I think the Olympics is a massive platform to have that visibility," Quinn adds.

Quinn's announcement also comes at a time when various governing bodies are weighing up their own policies towards transgender athlete participation, with World Rugby proposing to ban trans women from contact rugby.
"I think it is really concerning," Quinn says.
"I think that we need to focus on why we're in sports in the first place and the celebration of the excellence of our bodies."
"I'm just another person doing the thing that I love to do and I get the privilege do that every day on the pitch."

Nearly every publication, including LGBTQ news sources, has used my deadname while reporting my story. The news matters and it’s crucial to write about trans people using their name & pronouns. Please do your research, change your headlines, and grow.
Like 'nobody's bigger than the team, you're not playing for Canada again' would be a good response to her story.
A lot of people assumed that when she said she was coming out as transgender that she had been hiding as a man in plain sight for years.
So you can hardly blame even 'LGBTQ news sources' for not fully understanding your narcissistic bullshit just meant 'I am a woman playing women's sport, but I want some extra attention'.

Not sure if this belongs here or on the social media thread.
Guess which UK pedo trans org is trending on twitter? Yes, of course it's mermaids. And why? Because the government has published a piece of guidance for schools regarding sex/gender education.
This bit is of specific interest:
Remember, it was mermaids who came into schools with their genderbread person and the weird 'gender: GI Joe to Barbie' spectrum. Thus suggesting that personality makes gender.
And how are mermaids responding? They pretend that this is what they've always been saying.
So uhm, mermaids now confirmed terfs I suppose?

Lol this was so clearly pointed at Mermaids, Stonewall, and their ilk. Backpedal harder, pedos.

He’s going to be found wearing his mom’s face as a mask and be sent to a women’s prison. The last place I thought would tolerate this bullshit would be Ireland, women were sent to workhouses for being unwed mothers like 20 years ago.You heard it from me first lads!!!

Are they seriously going through the trouble of editing every reference of "he" into "she" for the sake of gender identity politics?
Why is this psychopath's gender identity more important than accuracy?

Ireland has been guzzling down the kool-aid for a while. I went just a few years ago and seeing the pro-trans commercials on tv and the way the local news stations handled stories was like a culture shock. They have fully sold out their heritage.

Women’s rights and safety are being eroded so these sexually deviant men can once again control and dominate women. Except this time, it’s a hate crime to speak out against it, and even being imprisoned, a woman is forced to accept these sick fucks as their cell mates. With shit like this, I will proudly take the TERF label, and I’m not even a radical feminist (because those bitches are also crazy). The trans ideology will have a massive pushback because of shit like this. It’s already starting to happen, and when there’s a spark, a flame will appear, and with that, a full on blaze. Unfortunately this might be a slow burn for now and a few years, but like any fire, it can erupt into a raging inferno if it the winds pick up enough, and a storm is definitely brewing.

"No child is born in the wrong body". Such sloganeering makes me sick. For one thing, if that were true why is Mermaids so intent to alter a child's body through puberty blockers? And I'm not sure if one can tell the mom who just gave birth to a severely disabled child that "no child is born in the wrong body".
Hence Judith Butler is nuts when she said "if they are against gender reassignment, why not call them a radical feminist?".

I think this a bad move politically. You needed women to get fed up with getting beaten before trying something like this.
