Now It's Personal: Trans Sex Offender Exposes Himself in My Locker Room because @ArlingtonVA Arlington, VA allows men in women's spaces if they say they're trans. See link. @ARLnowDOTcom @babybeginner @Martina @Hogshead3Au strongerwomen.substack.com/p/transgender-…

I really like the London marathon, and have run it a few times. But it's important to tell the truth. This is just stupid. @LondonMarathon, you don't appear to know what you are asking.

I think this would surprise a lot of people. The fastest amateur male runner was 3 mins faster than the woman who broke the women’s world record. That means thousands of men could beat the fastest woman. In fact, an average male runner could beat most professional female athletes. This is why we can have no one male in the women’s category in sport. Bc average males can take women’s prizes, money, opportunities.

A very inebriated man just sat down next to me at the train station and said: “Alright, gorgeous.” I didn’t like the look of him, so I got up and moved. “Couldn’t get away quick enough, could you love?” he shouted after me, laughing. Then he stood up. For a moment I thought he was going to follow me. He didn’t - but as he staggered off in the other direction, he hollered across the station: “She needs to be f**ked up the arse, that one.” This is the reality women are navigating - every day, often without saying a word about it. And yet we’re told that if a man puts on a dress and calls himself Susan, any discomfort we feel about sharing intimate spaces makes us the problem.

Cutest thing you'll see today on X....

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas. Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours. Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count. Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024. Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds. Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it. The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record. Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

I'm proud and grateful to have been named as author of one of the Times' 25 best non-fiction books of the 21st century.

That dog’s been waiting his whole life for this to happen. Good dog.

@Fragge5 @Martina She’s not bullying anyone. She’s speaking up for women’s rights.

@Martina Yeah Hounding and bullying minorities is not acceptable even when it's someone else is the minority...I thought you were better than that. More fool me

I should have said predatory behavior. Pretending he is a female to a patient who specifically asked for a female doctor- that is predatory. So I took that post down. But the behavior speaks for itself.

The SPLC caused us enormous stress when they called @genspect a hate group. But now the SPLC has been indicted in federal charges because they’re liars and fraudsters. It’s good to see the truth emerging. It’s sad that most of the media didn’t do their job when it mattered

.@POTUS said the NCAA athletes and coaches who were celebrated at the @WhiteHouse today were too “politically correct” to publicly acknowledge that males should be banned from all female sports. While the silence of these athletes doesn’t diminish their remarkable sports achievements, it does reveal a lack of moral courage. If these NCAA athletes possessed even a fraction of the courage displayed by Frances Staudt, Alexa Anderson, Maddie Wilcken, Sophia Carpenter, Payton McNabb, Brooke Slusser, Paula Scanlan, and Riley Gaines, the injustice of men competing in women’s athletics would finally reach its breaking point.

You can’t repost this enough. These brave young women are refusing to back down against the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, despite being demonized by the left. Keep up the fight, ladies!

This clip alone should be enough to make everyone in the world realize that transgenderism is absolute nonsense.

Important! The International Olympic Committee has published a series of FAQs abut the new eligibility policy for female Olympic sport. I haven't gone through it all yet, but it's good to see moves to correct all the misinformation being circulated. olympics.com/ioc/athletes/m…

One woman cannot consent for other women, and if a woman does not like the idea of women’s sport & is desperate to play on a team with men she is welcome to play on a unisex team. She is not welcome to take away the women’s sport.

@Martina @WomenAreReals @NetfIixFiIms Can’t wait! You’re both amazing, as is your demonstration that competition at its best is not a battle but a fierce, respectful relationship that elevates both people.

To share the stage with Chris Evert for the past 5 decades has been an incredible privilege - our documentary Final Set is out on 26th June 2026 - @NetfIixFiIms

Anger issues, anyone? My take on Coach @dawnstaley's classy smackdown of Geno Auriemma for his bad behavior this weekend: #GenoApologize @LisaLeslie @ESPN_WomenHoop @UConnWBB @THEgenoauriemma @WFinalFour @Martina strongerwomen.substack.com/p/let-us-now-p…

Here's a 13 year-old boy (Kai Kelly) sprinting faster (10.6 in the 100 meters) than every adult woman in history except two.

This nonsense is on its last legs. You know as well as I do that when a man ranked #99 in an event against male peers immediately jumps to #1 against women, it's unfair. When a 42 year old man who hasn't participated in sport for years returns and immediately qualifies for the Olympics against women while never having done so in his prime against male peers, it's unfair. When a man takes up a sport and within 2 years becomes among the best in the world while it takes female athletes years and years to do the same, it's unfair. When over 80 men who call themselves women have won national and/or world championship titles despite there only being around 1,000 of them on record, it's unfair. When the only "transman" on record having won a national title did so in a category by herself, but multiple "transwomen" have set national and world records, beating every single female athlete of their age who has ever lived, that's unfair. We know males have an advantage. This is evident in our every day lives, in every athletic event on record, we can see the differences with our eyes. We know that estrogen does not turn men into women and testosterone does not turn women into men. If women cannot level the playing field while on steroids, how can you say men are able to level the playing field in the opposite direction? And even if they can, why on earth are you demanding women who do everything they can to maximize their athletic potential should give up our opportunities and awards to men who are trying to minimize theirs? It's humiliating to elite female athletes who have to lose to second-rate males. It's insulting to the men who are so much more athletic but never win anything who have to watch men they beat suddenly getting praise for inferior performances. It's contrary to the spirit of competition and good sportsmanship. It's pathetic. And it's ending.
