Interesting to see how their arguments have evolved (devolved?) over the years:

First it was, "Umm fyi sex and gender are different. Sex is what you were born as, but gender is the sex you identify as."

Then it became, "Acktually, gender is a spectrum! Sex may be binary but there are at least 72 genders!"

And then, "Sex is acktually a spectrum too. Ever hear of intersex? Also sea horses can change sex so it's possible"

And now, "People can and do change biological sex you transphobic piece of shit I hope you die!"

If I'm ever up for watching grown men professionally maul each other over an oddly shaped ball, I'll watch the (American) football. At least then I'll know the teams and maybe recognize one or two player names.

I played American Football for my university’s team (an English university so, make of that what you will). Brilliant game, loved playing it but I find it a bit boring to watch these days.

Yes but as an Irish person it was almost vaguely embarrassing.

World number ones vs the guys who turned up to training without their PEkit and had to do it in their vest and pants. Hehe

In the 00's people who were considered trans or trans-activists were the ones trying to message that sex and gender were different basically there was still an understanding that biology existed. In the 10's i remember seeing "kids"/teenagers getting upset at the idea that they couldn't change sex. Now those people are adults.

Will it count as 41 when we have people told "you never got the HPV vaccine" "I don't need it as a man" "You have cervical cancer" "TESTICULAR cancer, treat it as such" in the future?

LoL Peter Tatchell gets a lot of airtime defending genderwang, even though he has a history of pro-pedo takes.

He should know better than to challenge TRAs by stating facts.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving man

Not surprising. Pretty much every gay man I've met hated having Tatchell speak for them too.
