Your pictures: Creative schoolchildren vie to be crowned Challenge Master SCHOOLCHILDREN have shown their competitive spirit in a quest to be crowned Challenge Master. Year Six pupils at St Andrew s Primary School, in Weeley, have been taking part in a range of fun, creative contests throughout lockdown, in addition to their home learning tasks. They have created snow sculptures, the most impressive shadows and written the best ‘worst’ joke. Upside down - Evie Fletcher Other challenges have included turning the most unexpected thing upside down, producing nature portraits and - their favourite so far - the ‘extreme reading challenge’. Members of staff have taken part and so too has school dog Jenson, along with brother Arthur.
dimorphic continuum is mashed into a
binary categorisation. Some pretty shitty treatment of people who might not be close to one of the poles, when only transwomen are supposed to be treated shittily.
The earth has two geographic poles. But almost nobody is at the north pole or the south pole .
weka …
are you saying that you believe sex is a spectrum that sits between two poles?
By all means talk about the fairness with Semenya. I haven t looked at her situation closely so would be interested to hear ideas on how it can be resolved. But intersex and trans people aren t the same, so I m just not sure what that has to do with opening up women s sports to males. If you want to make a case for desegregating sport by sex, please do. Otherwise as far as I can see the argument is that some males should be allowed to compete against any and all females, irrespective of fairness to women. Understandably, a lot of women aren t too happy about that.
Almost there!

New Zealand needs to get on board the People’s Vaccine
Opinion
As dozens of unions, advocacy groups and NGOs sign an open letter to the NZ government, Phoebe Carr and Edward Miller make the case for replicating the values of our domestic Covid response on a global scale.
The world watched stunned as New Zealand eliminated Covid-19 from our islands. We did it by listening to experts and going hard and early, coming together as a team, and sacrificing some short-term profit in a bid for long-term health, stability and freedom.
