@Chablislodge @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife And tbf, i've been a Junior ED and RD.. sometimes you do have to shout at them..especially if you have a few that are playing around instead of listening to the run brief. With that said the jnrs do tend to be quiet quicker than the adults....

@blakespicer6 @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife RD. He shouts at the kiddies (he boasted about that in a tweet a week or two back). He certainly used to be allowed at normal parkrun but I believe those privileges have been withdrawn. I may be wrong but I can’t ask him because I’m blocked for stating women deserve fairness.

@itsafrogslife chief parkrunt Graham who only thinks the 1% of elites deserve fairness & not the rest of us women doesn’t like the term parkrunt when it describes him. Nevertheless he is completely happy to call women terfrunts! Eh 🤔 Please 🙏 make this make sense 😵‍💫

@Waffles2026 @Chablislodge @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife I'm also blocked for saying i'm going to continue calling Him, Neil, Jenny etc parkrunts...

@Chablislodge @blakespicer6 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife He’s blocked me too. He really is pathetic. I may have to upgrade him from Parkrunt to Parkrunt Arsehole.

@Chablislodge @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife Some roles are not avaliable at Junior events..that should say....

@Chablislodge @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife Tbf to Graham (i know i am such a monster) he does appear to have volunteered and probably does still volunteer at the 5k events, given he has volunteered at least 324 times, some of which are in roles that are not avaliable at parkrun events.

@Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife Worse... he's an RD at a junior event. ...

@Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife Man alive I hope he doesn’t do any marshalling. They’d be chaos.

@JoggingJeff5k @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland The debate started in 2019 when parkrun changed their registration from Sex to Gender. Until that point parkrun was fair, even if there was the odd cheating man (Jeska for one). parkrun chose in 2019 to make their policy unfair, and doubled down in 2023. parkrun changed..

@SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland parkrun started in 2004. Why has the debate only started in the last two or three years? What has changed?

Parkrun begun with the best of intentions but it’s become central in the trans women v women’s rights debate. The organisers need to realise what the right answer is sooner rather than later. My @heraldscotland column on the contentious debate heraldscotland.com/sport/26125393…

@Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @itsafrogslife Poor Graham 🤣🤣🤣 he really should remember the internet is forever

@rowingdonna @itsafrogslife He wanted to forget more like.🤣 It’s why he deleted it. Unfortunately there are some things that tend to bite you in the butt 😄he does have a way of showing himself up🥳

@HallisseyC @itsafrogslife @jamesdavis6939 Hi Neil, hope you are having a great Bank Holiday Monday

@HallisseyC @itsafrogslife @jamesdavis6939 Oh dear... how am i going to cope with not seeing his mysogony in my feed?

In an acknowledgement of the fact that @itsafrogslife finds the term 'parkrunt' upsetting, @jamesdavis6939 has kindly deleted his posts that used this word. Will we now see a dialling down of the hate campaign that has been directed at James due to his speaking out for women?

Anybody fancy checking @HallisseyC posts in which Graham is in the thread and she has been called a c*nt to see if this is true? Can't retweet as he has blocked me....

@itsafrogslife @blakespicer6 @jamesdavis6939 It is implied in yours and others' belief that I need to publicly call people out on any usage of potentially controversial terms. We're all adults on here. People are free to use what terms they feel are appropriate (in line with the platform's Ts&Cs). x.com/i/status/20586…

@HallisseyC @itsafrogslife @jamesdavis6939 Its like being back in the school playground again 🤣

@blakespicer6 @itsafrogslife @jamesdavis6939 I actually think it's quite touching that so many of these people seem to think that I am responsible for the words and actions of everyone who is on the side of fairness in parkrun! I might end up getting quite a big head over it 😆

@HallisseyC @itsafrogslife @jamesdavis6939 Although i do now expect Graham to pop up and demand that you call me out for calling him a parkrunt....

@HallisseyC @itsafrogslife @jamesdavis6939 Of course, people may use their social media as they wish (within the relevant t&c's). James has decided to delete those posts and to not use the term parkrunts again. I however shall not be policed by Graham, Neil, Jenny or any of the other parkrunts & shall use it as i see fit.

Oh @parkrunUK this isn’t really going away is it! Those pesky women 😎 heraldscotland.com/sport/26125393…

Just to clarify: any man who comments on female toilets (and this includes those men who lie about their sex) is a pervert and a danger to women.

@anon_gencrit @bluecatsarah @cathydevine56 @parkrunUK I think that is part of it, although based on the parkrun facebook groups people still want the texts. Ultimately it did cost parkrun money to provide that service so its probably a mixture of both

@blakespicer6 @bluecatsarah @cathydevine56 @parkrunUK Isn’t the cancellation of the text message service bc they now own the 5Kapp & provide results via that? 🤔

Finally. Sport governance take note. 'Trans people should not be included in single-sex or separate-sex competitions for the sex with which they identify.' Is that now clear enough?

To all the #parkrunts saying @parkrun can rely on the exception at 13.83 of the EHRC guidance, did you miss the word 'may'? Also do you think parkrun would be up for/ afford a court battle? Cos you best believe us evil bigotted nazi TERFs are.

@jamesdavis6939 I know, i had already stopped being an ED by that point and given up my athlete ID before that because i could see the path parkrun were heading down.

@blakespicer6 There are men out there who kicked off when parkrun removed the stats in February 2024, but have the audacity to basically tell women that their stats don’t matter. Even worse, the stats were brought back on parkrun’s app. Parkrun listens to the men, but not the women 😡

With the EHRC guidance published, the way I see it is that parkrun has two options. - Remove all the results and records and stop timing people, and be the fun run it claims to be. - Reinstate fairness in the female category. Only females allowed, no males.
