RT @vixhood_hood: The bullying begins. Itâs not transphobic 2 speak out about fair competition @NewBalanceUK @nikelondon athletes that have felt the need 2 speak out are exactly the type of role models we need & exactly the ambassadors you want ...
RT @FondOfBeetles: Appalling bullying here. Female athletes are allowed to speak about their sports category (with male allies in support!). https://t.co/Ud9M6d...
RT @mara_yamauchi: The former #marathon WR-holder & winner of countless titles speaks! Women have had enough. Female sport for female athletes only! Thank you @paulajradcliffe đȘâ€ïž https://t.co/Xp6Jor...
Thank you for adding your voice today @paulajradcliffe. We have already heard of countless examples at grassroots club level. https://t.co/eVIFez...
Yes, they are bullies. Of course female athletes are legitimate stakeholders when it comes to the eligibility criteria for womenâs sport. Itâs not transphobic to stand up for womenâs rights. Shame on any sports organisation that takes these bullies ...
RT @mara_yamauchi: Terrific work from @fairplaywomen đ. Women & girls at all levels deserve fairness & female-only sport. That they are leaving is totally predictable bc sports bodies have not listened to women. #SaveWomensSports ...
Thereâs a lot of focus on elite sport but trans inclusion policies impact any woman or girl who plays sport. Fairness and safety matters at grassroots too /1 https://t.co/PPV8ho...
RT @JackieDP: This thread shows why care pathways for gender must include exploratory therapy https://t.co/AbdeJD...
Thank you Jon @runthinkwrite. https://t.co/xl5SEM...
RT @Scienceofsport: Back in 2020 when WR met to reconsider its trans guidelines, we consulted legal experts on both sides and we learned pretty fast that the Equality Act had the exception discussed in this thread. Sporting organizations had been ...
RT @MForstater: "I simply cannot understand" she says, turning off comments. How about "I would like to try to understand" and invite a meeting? Why hire a CEO who cannot understand simple arguments, and refuses to try ? https://t.co/PK9BWZ...
RT @helensaxby11: @Lawton_Times @SportIntegrity @fairplaywomen @thetimes By 'shouty' you mean informed and assertive. This argument has been raging for years, is it too much to ask that a sports writer to be up to speed with the law?
RT @cakebased: If a gay couple are married and one transitions, is it OK for the transitioned partner to tell the other they are "straight now"? Is your sexuality a fundamental part of your identity or not? Does another person have a right to ...
RT @sarahditum: A welcome grown-up take on trans inclusion and sport from @kenanmalik https://t.co/UF2LxL...
RT @sarahditum: This column is a terrible recitation of nonsense talking points all through, but the end is really something: note that opposition of "cisgender women" and "real people" đ¶ https://t.co/7VHtyz... https://t.co/acYGpV...
In July 2019 we filled the QE2 centre with people angry about male inclusion on female sport. Weâd fill Wembley stadium in 2022! This isnât going away. It needs sorting now. @Womans_Place_UK https://t.co/VwxQC0...
So much great coverage this morning about the problems of trans inclusion in womenâs sport. Time for the sport world to sort this mess out. No more excuses or pretending it doesnât happen. https://t.co/p1eT7c...
RT @transwidows: Hi @Nancy_M_K unfortunately youâve misunderstood this law, thatâs why it seems contrary to civil liberties to you. Follow back and weâll happily explain, to avoid any further embarrassment. https://t.co/dcEmfT...
RT @SusannaRustin: Very good piece and couldn't agree more that the problem is those who duck the issue and "shut down the debate rather than work through the difficulties". I would add that shutting down the debate mostly entails scolding, shaming ...
Sport clubs need to wake up fast. Contact @fairplaywomen for advice on what do before it happens. https://t.co/RrC7WS...
RT @SportIntegrity: @fairplaywomen @Lawton_Times @thetimes Matt- this is absolutely essential! Sports rules do not trump law and women are a protected group. So are trans. F/O categories in sport would meet these obligations.
Fantastic piece by @kenanmalik today. Standing up for female rights is not transphobia. https://t.co/Vh8wKi...
RT @mara_yamauchi: https://t.co/5mkM0p... @NicoleCooke2012 absolutely nails it. Sports administrators cannot be relied on. And motives! Competing fairly or just fame & money? I often wonder if itâs just validation. If competing fairly then they ...
Come on @thetimes @Lawton_Times. You can easily edit the online text. Every hour that passes more readers are mislead. The error remains in place and you are breaching clause 1 of the Editors code on accuracy. @IpsoNews https://t.co/qoaIrX...
RT @legalfeminist: This is indisputably correct: there is no plausible basis on which Bridges could claim to be entitled under the Equality Act to compete in women's events. https://t.co/JzJIjB...
RT @nmdacosta: When transition may involve puberty blockers, with potential consequences for brain and bone development, cross-sex hormones leading to irreversible physical changes + potentially infertility, and surgery. Why would you NOT ask whatâs ...
RT @sharrond62: Make it know to your MP you want females in sport to have the same opportunities as males. Uk sport money is our money public money #women #sexnotgender
RT @CforWomenUK: Great coverage of our gathering yesterday! @WomenUnitingUK @WomensRightsNet @SexMattersOrg #RespectMySex https://t.co/4LlhZz...
RT @LesleySemmens: It is not a "spousal veto"! It is a provision allowing the unnullment of the marriage before a GRC is issued @transwidows have explained this again and again! https://t.co/jvjpB0...
RT @andyturner110h: As a dad to 4 girls who enjoy sport this situation is a huge concern, there needs to be a separate category for trans athletes, womens sport should remain for those born female. https://t.co/jbmnnd...
âIt's a situation that could happen in any sport'â It WILL happen. It already is. https://t.co/xBTTD6...
Spot on! @kenanmalik in Observer @guardian today âTo discriminate against trans people in the workplace⊠that is bigotry. To argue for sex-based categories in sport â that is not. To deem both âtransphobicâ is to diminish the meaning of the wordâ ...
âit has now emerged that three-person panel can use their discretion when assessing a rider's eligibility in order to 'guarantee fairness and safety within the sport'.â Not good enough /1 https://t.co/C2RlJP...
RT @sharrond62: And another, a good friend of mine who knows sport & swimming inside out as a world champion & commentator. https://t.co/haeVE8...
âAsk any athlete, why do you want to compete? If the motive is genuine, the competition must be fair. To be fair, trans and biological female athletes must compete in separate categoriesâ Olympian @NicoleCooke2012 adds her voice to save womenâs sport ...
RT @sharrond62: Please show your love 4 the athletes, especially the female athletes breaking cover. The male abuse they receive from so called trans activists is extraordinary but this is 2big a loss for women to stay silent over. This is a human ...
Inaccurate reporting by Chief Sports Correspondent @Lawton_Times at @thetimes today. Simply wrong /1 âIf the UCI does not issue a ban, British Cycling may be forced to select Bridges as a female rider as a legal requirement under the Equality Actâ ht ...
âA female is not just her testosterone levels. We are more than thatâ. @Karen_Pickering adds her voice to the fight to save womenâs sport đȘ https://t.co/wBNzua...
Fiona McAnena, director of sport campaigns at @fairplaywomen which has lobbied to keep women's sports single- sex, warned: 'If you think this is a very small problem, think again. https://t.co/FAxeWc...
