Join the fight to reclaim women's rights
NO SELF ID
single sex sports
We lost the right to exclude male-bodied people from women’s sports, even where including males’ risks injury for females. We are have lost the right for fair competition for women, as women's rights are ignored over the demands of trans-identifying males. See examples of men taking women's spaces in Women's sports in Australia below and the organisations responsible for the loss of those rights:

Fielding five male players, the Flying Bats Football Club in Australia caused outrage when they dominated the Beryl Akroyd Cup tournament in the women’s division in March of 2024. Their participation in the tournament also brought to light the damage they had done to the women’s league. In 2022, one female athlete on the St. Patrick’s Football Club had had her leg broken in two places by an unnamed Flying Bats male player. She was unable to play soccer again. The coach described how the incident, along with other instances of injuries caused by male players in the women’s league, had caused 24 members of the club to quit.

Flying Bats male player Justin “Riley” Dennis had also reportedly injured a female player badly enough that she had to seek hospital attention while he was playing for the Inter Lions Football Club. According to Reduxx, Football NSW removed Dennis’s name from their site (due to the backlash) to hide his participation and possibly the fact that he was leading the league in goals. Dennis was formerly a YouTuber known for his demands towards lesbian women to address their “genital preferences” when turning down “trans lesbians” (heterosexual men) like himself.

Sporting Organisations signed up to ACON’s Pride In Sport, have to comply with males in female sport events, changing rooms, toilets and prioritize male inclusion over fair competition. The link analyses the Pride In Sport for Community Clubs Index (compliance audit). You will note that Pride in Sport (PiS) it gets prestige by being associated with prominent sporting organisations, as well as revenue for its training & consultancy services. Plus, publicity benefits— given it’s a requirement of 11 out of 18 sections of the Pride In Sport Index is to publicize PiS and it’s ideology. Significantly all the listed members of the Pride In Sport program include all major peak sporting bodies: https://www.prideinsport.com.au/current-members/ Hence the wider public's input into sporting policies that conflict with the PiS index are ignored. #Australia

https://www.womenarehuman.com/australia-sets-new-guidelines-to-make-sports-inclusive-for-transgender-gender-diverse-athletes/ Sport Australia has joined with the Australian Human Rights Commission and the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports to establish national guidelines intended to make sports “inclusive” for individuals (Men) who identify as "transgender or gender diverse".
#Australia
​
​
"In 2019, the Australian Human Rights Commission, in consultation with the lobby group ACON’s Pride in Sport, released Guidelines for the Inclusion of Transgender and Gender Diverse People in Sport. Little peer-reviewed evidence was presented as to why the inclusion of transgender individuals was now a priority over other identified problems to sporting access, such as homophobia, sexual harassment, racism or disability. Ignoring the potential conflict between sex-based protections and gender identity and Australia’s international commitments under CEDAW (Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women), the AHRC’s Guidelines elevated the issue of transgenderism in sport over other pressing issues.
On 30th September 2020, in a sudden and unexpected public declaration, Sport Australia and the executives of eight major sporting codes, announced their new “inclusive” guidelines for participation, focusing on transgender and “gender diverse” participants. Ostensibly, the announcement was designed to highlight the progressive credentials of Australian sporting bodies and to raise sporting participation across diverse Australian communities. In these new guidelines, diversity and inclusion are synonymous with transgenderism.
The 2020 announcement by eight sporting executives effectively erased the category of ‘women’s sport’ in their respective codes. In this announcement, the abstract, contested and ill-defined concept of “gender” superseded biological sex as the most significant protected legal category. As a consequence, the rights of trans-identified males to enter female sporting competitions, changing rooms, shower and toilet facilities, sporting scholarships and professional sporting memberships rapidly expanded, whilst the sex-based rights of female participants to safety, privacy, dignity, (religious) modesty, equality and access to sporting participation, rapidly contracted.
Female sporting participants were not widely consulted on these changes and no consideration was given towards the issue of women’s potential self-exclusion from participation on the basis of safety or privacy concerns.
Importantly, Sport Australia’s Guidelines effectively enshrined the process of gender ‘self-identification’ - any man could now self- identify in to a female sporting category having undergone no hormonal or surgical interventions whatsoever. It was now the case that a biological male could participate in the sporting competitions of girls and women based on nothing more than his stated belief in his own feminine ‘gender identity.’ Female teammates would have to agree to include the biologically male participant, or else face accusations of transphobia and potential prosecution for discrimination"
