As many of us said & were knocked down by the media - Semenya was NEVER a female with high levels of testosterone. Gaslighting the public. Semenya was a male with a male only DSD & male levels of T, who was taking an unfair advantage & cheating South Africa women out of a places

Reminder that at the 1996 Olympics, 928 women athletes were surveyed and 82% said they would like sex testing to continue to protect the female category. Despite this, IOC MEDIA discontinued gender testing in 1999 ignoring the clear majority opinion of the women affected.

Why are we here? EIGHT schools forfeit, but the people in charge keep supporting ONE boy at the expense of ALL girls. Girls mean less. There is no other way to interpret this.

What is going on in sport? - Sports councils in denial - Many sports have changed, but not all - Scotland & Wales lagging behind - Precision sports still a problem - Two-tier policies - Men are flouting the rules - Initiatives for women won’t say no to men - Facilities

'Sport by sport', 'case by case', 'district by district' are all false bases for determining eligibility, because biological facts do not vary by sport/case/district. They vary on the basis of sex. Either TWAW and all should be allowed in female sport, or TWAM, and all

"No trans athlete has EVER been excluded from sport. They've just been asked to compete where it's fair" This is fantastic. Sharron Davies MBE brilliantly deals with a trans activist who heckled her at the Conservative Party Conference. Calm. Confident. Correct. Well said Sharron🔥

Effectively Semenya’s argument seems to be ‘I can’t help the fact that I was born me so it’s mean not to let compete in the female category’. youtu.be/Dflk7a6fD8c?si…

There is still so much to do around the world. Boxing may have introduced sex testing but not all countries are adhering to rules. Women continue to be beaten by male fists.

Tut tut, Hobbycraft, this is unlawful discrimination. Your staff have no business refusing customers because of their political views and your managers need to leave their personal issues at home. Better get the lawyers on this one or apologise!

To be fair to Kirsty Coventry she has carried through the vague commitments she made during her leadership campaign and I thank her sincerely for this. I will admit to not being fully convinced that she was sincere at the time but absolutely happy to hold up my hands and say I

I would like to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you to Seb Coe who may have lost the battle to lead the IOC, but who ultimately helped win the war by banning men from women's athletics and bringing back cheek swabs.
