Another survey showing the overwhelming majority of 🇺🇸 public do not support transwomen (biological males) participating in the female category of sport. 75% overall and nearly 64% of GenZ voted to protect the female category When will UK sports start to listen?

Letter I wrote to the outgoing President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) IOC MEDIA regarding its Framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations is now public: spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/… I asked that a copy of

I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me

Simone Biles The hypocrisy of saying ‘don’t make it personal’ after you did exactly that is mind blowing, without any self awareness & disingenuous at best. Riley & many like her, including myself with 50yrs in Olympic sport & an Olympic medal have been saying for years now you cannot have

I accept Simone's apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She's still the greatest female gymnast of all time. A couple of things. Sports ARE inclusive by nature. Anyone can and everyone SHOULD play

Thank you Jonathan Hinder MP. As a The Labour Party member & feminist sports academic I have to say women & girls are completely fed up with this blatant sex discrimination by parkrun UK & other sports. Lisa Nandy MP needs to lead not leave this to governing bodies of sport to sort out.

parkrun 🌳 Can I also point out to Lisa Nandy MP that governing bodies of sport are often run on a shoe string. They do not have the resources to go through an extensive bureaucratic exercise to conclude what is already well established. Most sports at all levels are sex-affected.

parkrun 🌳 Lisa Nandy MP Also, most sports providers are not governing bodies of sport, but local authorities & schools who contract out to charities & private sector. None of them can cope with vexatious legal complaints from men who want to play in female categories. They need the government to act.

… agreed …but Prof. Devi Sridhar .. it does not need to be structured. It does need to follow behavioural science .. for example walking with goals of time or steps or intensity … whichever suits the person best PAHRC Walking Scotland
