BC marked 100 years of women having the vote in 2017. Now @bcndp and @BCGreens toss women and girls aside to make way for men and boys who wish they were female. So prior to 1917 we simply should have declared that we were men in order to vote, right? Why didn’t we think of that?

Update: 349 results have been added to the Hecheated.org website.
Since critics believe the oyster shucking results invalidate the entirety of the data, I have decided to move these to a separate "Non-Athletic Results" page in addition to the Non-Athletic awards that already exist.
Please feel free to submit information regarding men who have been participating in women's competitions outside athletics. These include chess, esports, bridge, etc. While these are not the main priority, I will certainly record them.
The removal of these results has not made any difference to the overall totals due to the new additions.
These numbers are not absolute totals. I work continuously to add and research results and athletes. This website is constantly updated and expanded. Two years ago, there were 5,000 results displayed. Today, there are over 21,000.

Many, many,posts means women are not going to continue to put up with the barbarity of housing men in women’s prisons. xitter.cf/i/trending/21115462121…

We're sending a message to Canadian legislators: don't mess with women's Charter-guaranteed sex-based protections.

1,000 pages on the state of sport in Canada.
Pages on the barriers facing women and girls.
Pages on inclusion.
Pages on safety.
But when asked about biological males competing in women’s sport?
Nothing.
Apparently that question was too "complex" to study.

Thank you @KellyDeRidderMP!! Women look forward to you continuing to champion our needs!
The shelter issue is also an area where men who ID as women are impacting women’s access and recovery. Vulnerable women need to be free from institutional coercion re: males in their spaces.

Thank you @JCCFCanada , @junonewscom and @MarcPatrone for helping us to get the story of this injustice and our commitment to challenging it out to the public. We must act to protect vulnerable women!
In this interview with @MarcPatrone, Heather Mason, Chair of Canadian Women’s Sex-Based Rights (CAWSBAR), outlines the fight against a federal correctional policy allowing trans-identifying male inmates to be transferred into women’s prisons.
Lawyers funded by the Justice Centre launched the constitutional challenge, which is proceeding in Federal Court. Ottawa’s statement of defence acknowledges sexual-assault reports dating back to 2018, including complaints that resulted in criminal charges against trans-identifying male inmates.

And the final update to this saga:
I was just at his sentencing. The prosecution had asked for 15 months in prison because of the randomness and aggression in his assault on me and his extremely long history of violent crime (43 prior convictions).
The defense asked for no time because he is black and jail made him sad (yes really).
The judge decided on a “middle ground” sentence of 9 days in jail, of which he will serve 6 days.
:)
WELL I was assaulted by a schizo homeless guy today in Toronto.
I was walking to the grocery store when he started stalking me. I tried to get away from him but it didn’t work. He grabbed me, pinned me against a fence, and then tried to break my hand to steal my phone. Three people passing by helped save me.
The police were quick and kind, but the officer I spoke with told me this guy had been arrested for attacking people repeatedly in the past month, and “fair warning, a judge will probably let him out by tomorrow morning.”
🫠 lovely system we got goin on here folks

Canada is in violation of both CEDAW and CCPR.
What are the Shadow Minister for WAGE and the Minister for WAGE going to do about this?

Who’s ready to do this again?
In six months, I’ll be on the West Coast. Let’s make this our biggest protest yet.
Women in prison deserve to serve their sentences without being sexually assaulted, harassed or threatened by trans-identifying males housed with them.

We have no clubhouse, no sponsor, no marketing budget and no paid staff. What we have is a handful of Alberta volunteers who are not going to quietly let a men’s score take a women’s trophy. Women across Alberta are done being told a women’s tournament is an open category.
Research costs money. Legal work costs money. Campaigns that clubs and governments cannot ignore cost money.
Chip in the cost of a round and keep us swinging for women and girls.
