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.

We did not miss.

Bye, lads.

@MandiganA @seaningle Yes!!!

@seaningle Absolutely INSANE that men were ever allowed to enter women's sport at all isn't it? 🤷‍♀️

Guardian piece by me - From Laurel Hubbard to sex testing in five years: why the Olympics U-turned on transgender rules Spoke to several people about this ... quite a few mentioned Paris, others the IOC election, science, Coventry's drive and Trump too! theguardian.com/sport/2026/mar…

At least now little girls who dream of Olympic medals will know that biological males can't cheat their way onto their podium...or punch them relentlessly in the face and get a medal for it. Credit to Sharron Davies and Martina Navratilova, who spoke up despite attacks from those who should've known better. They spoke up when it was easier to stay quiet and paid the price in lost income and support.

@roseveniceallan @pugsandparrots Sport was never the exception it’s the exemplar to expose this poisonous nonsense

The Olympics decision is bigger than sport, every country in the world is finally hearing the message that ‘trans women’ are men.

Sport was never the exception it was the exemplar to highlight the nonsense of this wicked ideology. Now extrapolate the same logic to every other area of Public life. @SexMattersOrg

Parents send their girls to Girl Guiding to develop all sorts of skills in a fun and safe environment with likeminded girls. They do not send them to be targeted by activists. Girls are being encouraged to undermine the very rights that protect them. Leave the kids alone.

@MavisM54295 @JournalismSEEN @ArabellaSock And that’s moral cowardice not leadership and we see this across all senior levels of management in charities, public sector and financial organisations

@maxpell123 @JournalismSEEN @ArabellaSock I suspect he was more of a weathervane with regard to the trendy young people’s topic of “gender”. Did what the kids told him to.

Matt Brittin hasn’t officially been named yet but he will be. He’s got transgender activism - and pronouns - in his history. There are a number of middle-aged men at the BBC who’ve been key in promoting and supporting gender ideology and affirmation. Tim Davie wasn’t one of them, and it was a disaster for this issue that he left. Most of those men are still in role, and in Matt Britton we could get another. It still seems unlikely that the BBC will resume its extreme obsession with self-identification, but it’s full of gender guerillas, and they’ll redouble their efforts. Anyone who can make representations to him, make them early doors. He has to understand there is no going back.

I won’t be donating anymore money or time to @macmillancancer as they don’t treat all people with cancer equally. Nor would I consider donating to endometriosis south coast with a man pretending to be a woman appointed as a parliamentary liaison officer.

@jo_bartosch @Fontybits1 “Highly respected feminist” 🤡

@Fontybits1 P.s. does my ego look big in this?

"A highly respected feminist" Do fuck off.

Why? Cancer doesn't discriminate why should they

@cwknews @berylperrol @BBCWomansHour A drag queen surely?

Will @BBCWomansHour get a man on next week to tell us how much Jenni Murray meant to women?

✍️ ‘Some commentators, including Harriet Harman, argued Jenni Murray’s views detracted from her feminism. In truth, they were central to it’ | Writes @suzanne_moore Read her column paying tribute the latest radio show host 🔽 telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-to-…

@Nettleshippy @moniquephotos @BBCWomansHour Drag queen tribute surely?

I presume @BBCWomansHour will have trans women guests all next week speaking about the sad news of Dame Jenni Murray’s passing and how important she was im the fight against misogyny. RIP Jenni 💔

@BBCBreaking @RooneyRachel A woman who knew what a woman is. Unlike the current bunch of numpties on Woman’s Hour.

Remember this article from Jenni Murray in 2017. Totally reasonable, nothing extreme, just saying men can’t be women. Then there was all the protests, calls to cancel talks, The BBC warned her, restricted her on air, and by 2020 she left Woman’s Hour. But she never backed down, even as the pushback continued for years. This is how speaking honestly costs you in public life. But she was forever right. Rest in peace, brave and courageous Jenni Murray. thetimes.com/article/490f2f…

This is good, he slaps her down when she condescends to him about the Woke.
