@iamspecialized @rachelvmckinnon RM supports inclusion in female sporting categories of males who have had NO hormonal/surgical treatment. RM acknowledges that males have a competitive advantage. RM believes that transwomen should be able compete against females with unmodified male competitive advantage. 1/
@iamspecialized @rachelvmckinnon RM asserts that even if transwoman win everything, this should be allowable. Do you have any sense of how that position will impact female sports? Do you understand how hard females have fought for their own, fair, competitive sports competition? 2/
@iamspecialized @rachelvmckinnon How sports provides so much more than physical health benefits? How high school girls are losing to high school boys who are competing under RM’s ‘rules’? Those high school girls lose not just their race but their opportunities, scholarships, aspirations? 3/
@iamspecialized @rachelvmckinnon Great female athletes like Kelly Holmes (and she’s by no means alone) are using their voice to advocate for these high school girls (and all female athletes), to advocate caution, to ask for review of the current guidelines. 4/
@iamspecialized @rachelvmckinnon For this endeavour, for standing up for the rights of females to fair competition, they are being harassed and bullied by RM and similar. 5/
@iamspecialized @rachelvmckinnon You are being asked to consider your relationship with one of the greatest female athletes of all time (and an amazing advocate for sports) by a person who tells female athletes they look like males. Don’t be hasty. End/
