41 h. ago Having a child has been both the most transformative and mundane experience of my life | Rebecca Varcoe

Parenthood has opened the door to a new kind of love – one not necessarily more sacred or pure than the love for my friends, parents and husbandGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailTwo years ago I fell pregnant and within five weeks I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a medical condition that causes extreme nausea and vomiting. It lasted my entire pregnancy and that year was (almost) the worst of my life. Now, I keep being told the relief of no longer being sick is the main reason I enjoyed the first year of my child’s life so much.Shortly after my baby was born, I started seeing social media content about Charli xcx’s song “I think about it all the time” and its articulation of the apprehension many women have about becoming mothers. I have recently started back at work and miss my child terribly. It’s the unhappiest I have been since she was born, around the same time Chappell Roan said none of her friends with children were happy.Sign up for the fun stuff with our ...

46 h. ago How can a country that is hosting the World Cup have no sponsor for its top flight?

The Copa do Brasil is back after a nine-year break but there are concerns about Brazil’s top flight before a first World Cup in South AmericaAfter a nine-year hiatus, fans of Brazilian women’s football will once again be able to support their clubs in the Copa do Brasil. The cup will bring together 65 clubs from the three divisions of the national women’s football league, starting with a preliminary round on 21 May and concluding with the final in November. It is a return that has long been requested by the women’s football community in Brazil in order to expand the calendar for lower-division clubs and gives high-profile teams such as Flamengo, Corinthians and Santos another opportunity to compete for silverware.However, all is not rosy on the Brazilian club scene only two years before Brazil are to host the Women’s World Cup for the first time. There have been a few years of growing sponsorship and visibility in the top tier, the Brasileirão A1, but this season has exposed the cha...

65 h. ago Steph Gilmore: ‘I was looking for something more, in myself and in my surfing’ | Kieran Pender

The eight-time world champion has returned to a very different looking WSL tour this week after some time out spent travelling and recuperatingStephanie Gilmore, the most successful women’s surfer of all time, is back. Last weekend, the 37-year-old returned to the World Surf League (WSL) for the first time in two seasons, as a wildcard at the Gold Coast Pro. But unsure of how she would fare, against competitors who had not even been born when Gilmore first started winning WSL events, the Australian came armed with a good excuse.“I’m playing on stage with Spiderbait,” Gilmore said ahead of a concert which took place on Sunday on the sidelines of the event. “So I’ve actually got something that’s taken my mind off the surfing, which is kind of nice. Maybe it’s a cop-out, but if I don’t do well in the competition I can just blame it on all the band practice I have to do.” Continue reading...

1 week ago Quiet rise of rookies shows benefit of NWSL’s bold decision to ditch draft

Young players are impressing across the country following the American league’s very un-American moveFor the first time in its history, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) commenced a regular season this spring with no draft. A quintessentially American event, defined by hopes and dreams being on public display while teams trade players into the professional leagues without their explicit input, was scrapped by a collective bargaining agreement negotiated between the NWSL and the NWSL Players Association in August.In so doing, a league unafraid of reinvention became the first major professional sports league in the United States to forgo the draft. That’s a seismic shift by any measure, and while the move puts the NWSL in line with global football standards the long-term implications will take much longer to assess. After all, the draft was not simply an entertaining way to distribute talent while introducing them to the public on a celebratory stage; it was also a useful mean...

3 w. ago If Britain is now resetting the clock on trans rights, where will that leave us? | Gaby Hinsliff

There is both joy and dismay after the supreme court judgment. Compassion and leadership are really needed nowSo this is how a clock turns backwards. With the hands still spinning even now, it’s hard to know yet exactly how far back in time we will land. But Wednesday’s supreme court ruling that for the purposes of equality law, “woman” means “biological woman” – basically the chromosomes you were born with, regardless of what legal hoops you have since jumped through – is nonetheless a watershed moment.We are going back to a time before “trans women are women”, full stop, no debate: and if it’s handled well, accepting that sometimes life genuinely is more complicated than that could ultimately be healthy. But if handled badly, we could be heading back to a far darker time, when trans existence was shrouded in fear and shame and bigots had carte blanche.Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
