@FarooqUmer @emilykschrader So you agree with Emily then, right? As a data scientist? The chart shows Jews are 9 times more likely than Muslims to be the victim of a hate crime.

@emilykschrader As a data scientist, I am trained to look deeper; selective charts do not reveal the full picture. I won't spend more time on your post, but the explanation below of your chart should suffice.

"Why allow him to march and not people who want to protest about the plight of people in Gaza?" @bbcnickrobinson presses Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on her comments suggesting she would not ban a protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

That feeling when a meeting you booked as long away as possible because you’re not interested and don’t want to prep for, and totally forgot about, pops up on your phone with a ten minute warning.

@NicoReznick Average/improving runners see a former olympian at their parkrun and are inspired to train harder. They see a cheat and think 'what's the point'.

@SquidCynical @LadyLisa2034458 'VM55-59' is the 'victorious men' category for older gentlemen. 'VW40-44' is the 'vile women' category for has beens and losers who need to know their place.

@LadyLisa2034458 You can't cheat in parkrun. It isn't a competition or a race & it doesn't have categories for people to run in.

Exhibit 'C': An ex-elite athlete using parkrun to maintain her self-image as a competitive winner by beating pensioners, young mothers with buggies, a fella & his dog & some families trying to get fitter & have fun. Claire pretends parkrun is the Olympics. Claire is a sad loser.
Claire Hallissey@HallisseyC

It certainly felt like a race when I was battling for 1st lady at parkrun today. Women deserve the same rights as men to compete for positions in a fair category! #makeparkrunfairforall #SaveWomensSports

@timmychimp @jeannie_brady @EpochOfWhat I'd agree they are useful categories, but they don't strictly bisect along the lines of birth sex, that just isn't true. It's fairly common sense to understand that many women have greater lung capacity than many men.

@BenMclaine @jeannie_brady @EpochOfWhat Muscle mass, lung volume, heart volume, and hip/femur/lower leg physiology are the key determinants of an individual's running potential. Fortunately these correspond with sex so we don't need to bother measuring them all.

@jeannie_brady @EpochOfWhat Depending on the sport: -Estrogen average levels -Testosterone average levels -Weight category -Age (eg Masters Divisions, adult & children) -Gender (with above categories accounted for) -Experience level Fairness in sports has to reflect the complexity of biology & time

@Alonso_GD You: Am I a man? Us: Yep, you look like one, so you probably are. You: Aha! So you're not certain. Therefore men can be women. Us: You're very silly.

Gender-crits like to ask “what is a woman?”. But I would ask them in return “am I a man?” They have no access to my DNA, they don’t know what gametes I produce, and I’m not lowering my trousers for their convenience. So, am I a man? And if so *how do they know*?

@robcmorgan @QcWynter @BBC Exactly. The BBC shouldn't be making, or having to defend, an argument where news is concerned. Present me with the facts from which I can form my own arguments and opinions.

@timmychimp @QcWynter @BBC That's not the test I'd have applied. Is the edit a fair impression of what he said that day? And the answer is *arguably* it is, but only arguably and that's not good enough for journalism, especially about anything important.

Nick Robinson, has said of the @BBC Trump, spliced tape scandal: 'I understand that at the time of the transmission of the Panorama film in 2024, there were no complaints about the editing of Donald Trump's speech'. That is exactly how the best deceptions work. No one notices.

@robcmorgan @QcWynter @BBC Watch the clip as broadcast and then watch the 2 sections that were spliced together. It's indefensible.

@timmychimp @QcWynter @BBC No complaints because it comes across as a fair edit of what Trump said on that day. Clearly, Panorama should not have edited it against what his people say was his message on that day (peacefully march etc). But "doctored"?

@sianberry @BrightonHoveCC "Clearly provocative". File alongside - "Look what you made me do" - "Well if they will dress like that what do they expect" - "Men can't be expected to control their urges so women need to cover up" You sound like a predator.

Events that inflame division and create tension should be guarded against and @BrightonHoveCC needs better policies for which events it will host in our council-owned venues. The choice of Brighton was clearly provocative from organisers and the problems caused predictable.

If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.

@barbarnana21 @BBCSussex Also (this is a small thing by comparison) he's never ran a marathon. He's walked a long way at a brisk pace (an impressive feat) but he's never 'ran' a marathon. This should annoy me a lot less than it does but @mara_yamauchi @femalerunner can confirm there's a huge difference.

@ThomasWillett9 Our bodies take part in sport, not our identities. Human bodies are either male or female. Trans women have male bodies so they take part in the male category. Trans men have female bodies so they take part in the female category.

In the UK, trans people are banned from participating in Football, Cricket, Netball, Rowing, Athletics, Cycling, Swimming, Rugby (Union and League), Cue Sports & Hockey, & you want to ban them from a non-competitive, community running event? This is about erasure, not fairness.
