'Unfair Play - The Battle For Womens Sport' makes the case that this callous indifference to women in sport is the latest stage in a long history of sexism on the part of sport’s higher-ups & provides the facts, science & arguments that will help us ♀️ get the justice we deserve.

I have avoided wading in on this topic because I don’t want to cause anyone harm. But, as a former professional athlete, and an attorney who focused on civil rights law, I feel the need to speak out.

I was a competitive swimmer growing up, training up to 6 hours per day. My heroes and role models were Shirley Babashoff, Jill Sterkel, et al. They dominated international swimming - until the 1976 Olympics. At those games, the East German women showed up completely transformed.
Their shoulders were significantly broader, and their entire physique had almost doubled in muscle mass. They absolutely slaughtered every other female swimmer. When the other women cried foul, they were harassed, belittled, and called sore losers.

Circulating Testosterone as the Hormonal Basis of Sex Differences in Athletic by Handelsman, Hirschberg, and Bermon

Circulating Testosterone as the Hormonal Basis of Sex Differences in Athletic by Handelsman, Hirschberg, and Bermon

"Competitions have separate male and female events due to men’s physical advantages in strength, speed, and endurance so that a protected female category with objective entry criteria is required."
"From male puberty onward, the sex difference in athletic performance emerges as testosterone concentrations rise as the testes produce 30 times more testosterone than before puberty, resulting in men having 15 to 20 fold greater testosterone than children or women at any age."

Their reply is disingenuous at best!
They fail to respond to the issues raised including our example of a MALE having held the FEMALE course record at @parkrunUK for 4 years!
Astonishingly, female erasure for @parkrun is ‘inclusive!

I spoke briefly (terrifying but worth it) at #LetWomenSpeakBirmingham yesterday and although I'm worried about any backlash particularly loss of clients and work etc, I'm glad I did. As an #autistic woman who has been parroting the gender woo for a while now, I'm so worried
About what is happening in #autism services and to #autistic kids as revealed by @hannahsbee (her book was a real turning point for me, its evidenced, balanced and free of ideology) I had intense issues with my body as a pre teen. I couldn't cope with the changes of puberty. I
Can totally see the appeal of rejecting all the societal bullshit that comes with being a female, especially when you're also #autistic and moving through the world is hard enough. Except, we can't ever really reject it. 'Top surgery' and Pronouns won't take away dysphoria, or
OK ENOUGH!
You may have been raised to believe women can do whatever men can do & vice versa - it was a reaction to end sexism & inequality - and in many cases that is true - but in others it is 100% NOT TRUE

Yes there are outliers & you can find a woman who is stronger than a man - however that is the exception NOT the rule. #SaveWomensSports
Our biology dictates that men have genetically MORE muscle mass & a different skeletal system, a larger heart, greater lung capacity & higher levels of testosterone - to name a few - that give them a physical advantage before they even try!

It turns out Sunday was not the first time Glenique Frank has run in the female category in the London Marathon.
He ran 4:45:21 in the Oct 2022 race as Glenique, in the female category, but was back to male for the NYC marathon in Nov 2022.

post-puberty males from the F category. Under UKA transitional arrangements, males who had already entered races in the F category could still race. I assume this is how Frank was allowed to race ystday. Nevertheless, males in the F category is UNFAIR for females.

@RobertKennedyJr says the entire US foreign policy has collapsed under Joe Biden. He doesn’t want the Democratic Party to be the party of war, fear and censorship. We need to stand against wars, put our children first and completely negate Biden’s policies.
Robert Kennedy: This is what happens when you censor somebody for 18 years. I got a lot to talk about. They shouldn't have shut me up for that long because now I'm really going to let loose on them for the next 18 months.

We strongly condemn the violence perpetrated against @IWF spokeswoman @Riley_Gaines_ on @SFSU campus. Riley was violently accosted, ambushed, and physically assaulted during a speech on sex discrimination women face in their own single-sex sports category.
Riley is courageous in speaking up for truth, science and common sense. She has experienced firsthand the injustice female athletes face across America in their own sport. “Inclusion cannot come at the expense of women,” said Riley in a statement to media before the campus event.
“There are other ways to accommodate trans-athletes without discriminating against female athletes,” Gaines continued in @IWF’s statement. Competitive sport is a zero-sum game, inclusion of male-bodied athletes in women’s sport inevitably denies opportunities to female athletes.
