💜🎉 ONLY 115 SIGNATURES TO GO!!! 🎉💜 9,885 SIGNATURES! 🥳 We're SO close to reaching our first milestone of 10,000 signatures, and I genuinely believe we can get there with one final big push! WOMEN. GIRLS. MOTHERS. PREGNANT WOMEN. These aren't complicated words. They describe real people, real lives and real biological experiences. Words matter. Meanings matter. And if we lose the meaning of words, we lose the clarity they provide. In healthcare, education, safeguarding and public policy, clear language helps everyone understand who is being discussed, what their needs are and why those needs matter. Our petition asks for sex-specific words to remain the primary and default language used by government departments, the NHS, educational institutions and publicly funded bodies.

It's a good video... but disgusting that any female athlete; like Rapinoe, who built her career, records, medals and platform exclusively in the women's category refuses to defend that category. They know exactly what the outcome would be if they had been forced to compete against and with males: the glory, the sponsorships and the fame would not have happened. Male puberty confers lasting advantages in muscle mass, strength, speed, power and skeletal structure that testosterone suppression only modestly reduces (typically around 5% for lean mass/strength after a year or more). That is why governing bodies such as World Athletics, World Aquatics and World Rugby have restricted or banned males who experienced male puberty from elite female competition.⁠ No males in ANY female sports is the answer, not as the young girl in the video says: “Why are you asking me to?” She is referring to being forced to change with, play with and compete with males. Girls and women deserve fair, safe and meaningful competition in their own category. Athletes who benefited from that system and then help dismantle it for the next generation are pulling the ladder up behind them.

TODAY WE REMEMBER POLICE SERGEANT JOHN RICHARD SPEED Today marks 42 years since Police Sergeant John Speed of West Yorkshire Police was murdered in the line of duty while going to the assistance of a wounded colleague. He was just 39 years old. On 31st October 1984, officers were investigating two men acting suspiciously outside Leeds Parish Church, now Leeds Minster, on Kirkgate. During the incident, a police officer was shot and seriously wounded. Sergeant Speed went to help his colleague and confronted one of the armed men. He was shot and fatally wounded. He had gone to help a fellow officer. He never returned home. For his extraordinary courage, Sergeant Speed was posthumously awarded the Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct. His funeral was held at Leeds Parish Church, only yards from where he had lost his life. John left behind his wife, a ten-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son. Two young children who would grow up without their dad, and a wife whose life was changed forever. His sacrifice is commemorated by a memorial on Kirkgate in Leeds, unveiled in 1986, close to the place where he fell. Today, we remember not only the police officer who demonstrated such courage, but also the husband, father and colleague whose life was so cruelly taken. We remember his family, his fellow officers and all those who continue to carry his memory. Policing can involve extraordinary risks, often encountered during what begin as routine duties. Sergeant Speed answered a call to help. His courage cost him his life. POLICE SERGEANT JOHN RICHARD SPEED West Yorkshire Police Aged 39 End of Watch: 31 October 1984 Thank you for your service, your courage and your sacrifice. We Will Remember You.
