Unsurprisingly, given the treatment she has received, the only candidate running a campaign on the protection of women's and girl's sports from biological males masquerading as females, Catherine Deves for Warringah, has banned the media from a forum at a Sydney RSL club.

The sitting member, Ms. Stegall - whose contribution to Australia and politics is snow skiing - got a few activists in, one of whom had to be ejected for violent behaviour.

The forum was open to the public, who were given the chance to make up their own minds, without the help of the media's recommendations and personal bigotry of reporters.

Good on her! There should be more of it.

Katherine Deves sounds like she is offering a different perspective on the debate. Thanks for highlighting her contributions ttbn.

"The fastest female college swimmer in #America is Lia Thomas, a man. The highest-profile female weightlifter in #NewZealand is Laurel Hubbard, a man. One of the best female BMX riders in the #USA is Chelsea Wolfe, a man. The 2020 Miss Intercontinental New Zealand Arielle Keil, is a man."

Top Australian swimmers are speaking out against having to compete against trans-women as a discouragement to future women swimmers.

Australian Swimmer Emily Seebohm has weighed into the transgender sporting debate saying there's nothing worse than training for years only to have it thrown away because "someone was biologically fitter, stronger (and) faster than you".

Dawn Fraser has also spoken out in defense of female swimmers

Foxy is a bigot and can only accept Woke political opinion. Trans-women need their own category when it comes to sport, I saw a 160 cm 70 kg woman playing rugby trying to bring down a 110Kg 180cm player without a hope.

Kudos Josephus.

Australian Swimmer Emily Seebohm, who is actually a third cousin of mine on my mother's side, is having 5 bob each way. Yes, she doesn't want to swim against men, but she says that she wants them "in my sport" - which means special competitions for 0.0048% of the Australian population posing as being of a different sex than they really are. Dear, warm-hearted Foxy, who wants to be kind to everybody, has suggested 'transgender games'. Good Lord! Just imagine the cost and organisation needed to pander to a micro group making up O.0048% of the population. Bat shite crazy! I can't believe even the barking mad Greens would go for that.
