@adamndsmith Imagine being the kind of person who thinks telling a 10 year old boy that he is a girl is a victory

At least 13 males ran today in the Female category in UK parkrun.
One got 2nd Female. He’s got >90 1st Female finishes. Another 3 made the top 3 in age category.
These 13 men bumped down >1190 females.

@latsot My argument is: if men in dresses need their own space, they can campaign for it like everyone else has had to in order to get specific public spaces. Otherwise, they can use the men’s.

@jk_rowling Reducing it to “two men boxing against women” leaves out important context. Further discussions are more productive when you acknowledge the full picture rather than boiling it down to a single, loaded statement.

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

@DannyWxo There's no complexity. Two men were permitted to box against women and robbed them of medals.

Has the @BBCNews asked Drag Queens how the IOC decision is impacting on them, even thought its got nothing to do with them.

@Nettleshippy @BBCNews I’m sure Woman’s Hour tmrw will have a middle-aged trans-identifying man on, saying won’t somebody think of the poor men? And Nuala will scold any GC guest for being nasty & not inclusive of the poor men…

All bodies are policed in elite sport. It’s called drugs testing. You muppets.

The IOC didn’t just target trans women with this decision: They opened the door to policing all women’s bodies.

Let's try to get this straight:
No one is 'banned'
No one is 'prevented from competing'
No one is 'excluded'
There is a sex category for everyone.
Everyone can compete, where eligible.
You need to be good, and to qualify.
So, as they sometimes say;

@TraceyLeeHolmes The science is not contested: stop listening to your closed circle. You’re a journalist, right?

Finally, a return to sanity, protecting the female category in the olympics.
Congratulations to all those who have worked towards this for many years, including @FondOfBeetles and @runthinkwrite

Great job, @iocmedia Eligibility for the female category via SRY screening. Trans-identifying males and athletes with androgenising DSDs to be excluded. Well done to all involved, particularly to Kirsty Coventry and Jane Thornton for their leadership here. #IOC

@millihill @ThomasWillett9 It’s a habit he doesn’t seem to be able to break.

The new Olympic rule bans only trans women from women’s events; trans men aren’t mentioned at all. If this were truly about fairness and safety, it would apply consistently. Targeting one specific group raises serious questions about the real motive.

@BrianSuttererMD @FondOfBeetles Sports have dealt with superstars banned due to doping for decades, I don’t see why this should be any different

Who is this fucking prick? “ There’s an intolerance here that I find really sad.” zero empathy for women and girls.

A woman has to explain to a woke and tragic bloke why trans girls (boys) shouldn’t be in the Girl Guides ffs!! 🤬🤬 A useless man with no grasp on reality!

We're deeply concerned to hear that a trans-identified man, convicted of stalking his female surgeon, is housed in Downview Women’s Prison E Wing.
E Wing is NOT separate from the women’s estate
@MoJGovUK @DavidLammy Update yr policy in line with the LAW

@washingtonpost What? Excluded altogether?? That’s horrible!
<reads IOC statement> ..
Oh. You mean they have to compete in the correct sex class. Like everyone else. The only thing they are no longer allowed to do is to cheat. How cruel.
