Three men won gold, silver, bronze in 2016 women’s 800m at Rio Olympics The woman who came 4th, & her coach, were threatened. They were not allowed to speak about this injustice Is this what we want? Men dominating women’s sport? #SaveWomensSports #SaveWomensSpaces

Great to deliver another LTA Padel workshop - lots of engaged, passionate, and curious coaches. Five hours spent “thinking inside the box” 🎾❤️

Allowing men who declare themselves women into female spaces is not equal rights. It’s taking away rights from women while giving extra rights to men, to the point of giving one demographic of men even more rights than the average man but allowing all men to self ID into it. 🤷‍♀️

Ed Krassenstein This statement is a full fledged pile of crap. Almost zero accurate information. There is no age at which male and female performance (strength, speed, coordination) is equivalent. You can look at World and national recorded times for all track and field, swimming and strength

I don't understand how anyone who supports women can defend Riley Gaines coming in 2nd after a lifetime of work to a 6'4" man. You're not only told to celebrate this, the DNC is making this permanent by adding men to Title IX. It's not just disgusting, its The Twilight Zone. 😵‍💫

Any news media that writes a headline “trans women banned from sport” is straight out lying & no friend or ally of every female athletes the whole world over. That’s 51% of us. We’re worthy of fair sport too. Remember who sold you out ladies. No one is banned. Compete with your

Each day for the next week I'm going to call on well-known female athletes to take a stance on this issue because silence is complicity...we need their voices. Day 5: Simone Biles what do you think about males competing against women?

'...the “female category” for any form of competition from elite to grassroots will be preserved for those with a birth sex of female' Hallelujah! Thank you British Cycling Come on UCI time to do the right thing. theguardian.com/sport/2023/may…

There are so so many good men out there, please speak up for women. These are males wanting female opportunities. At present females are vilified & relentlessly bullied for trying to protect their incredibly hard won spaces, like sport. We need your voices. Thank you …

Women have 1% of US sports sponsorship dollar, 4% sports prime time tv. 1000 Uk women earn their living from sport compared to 11,000 men! A tiny piece of the commercial earning cake. NO male with male physical advantage has ANY place in women’s sport, anywhere, ever. Race fair,

Come on @USTA- women’s tennis is not for failed male athletes- whatever age. This is not right and it is not fair. Would this be allowed at the US Open this month? Just with self ID? I don’t think so…

So proud that 1 of our founders, Jo Ward, will be speaking in parliament at 10am tomorrow about sexism & inequalities in sport. The Committee will hear evidence from sportswomen, sports scientists/coaches, clinicians, policy campaigners & consider ways of bringing about change.

Please remember @bbc & Josh Jones: females cyclists are part of 'the cycling community'. They do not want males, including transwomen, in female cycling. Please stop advocating for males at the expense of females. It is regressive, sexist & patriarchal. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
