At least 10 males ran in the Female category in UK parkrun today.

One was Stevie Ancasta/Payton who wrote about himself in the Metro. He recently ran in the Eastleigh 10km race in March, which is licensed by UKA so he broke UKA rules in force since….

metro.co.uk/2025/03/16/beg… …31/03/2023. He claims that nobody cares that he’s trans - all the women who suffered unfairness bc he ran in the F category might have cared that he is male. He is one of numerous men who still run in licensed races in the F category. @DerryBanShee spoke about this in the…

In this excellent @SexMattersOrg podcast w @MForstater, Fiona @DerryBanShee mentioned poor enforcement in Athletics of the rules (which banned all post-puberty males from the F category in 2023).

Here is an example. A man who calls himself Persephone has raced in the Female…

…category of the Leeds Half Marathon in 2026, 2025 and 2024, all of it against UKA rules. I complained to the organisers who have replied saying they consulted UKA and have taken appropriate action in accordance with their licence. But if you look at the results, ‘Persephone’..

Ada Macey is one of the males in F cat in parkrun who has featured in glowing blogs published by parkrun. 👇It is v revealing reading it.

First, Macey says he was one of the first people to contact parkrun about this - so he was a key person who set…

The London Marathon ballot for 2027 is open. This is what applicants are asked on categories. 👇

- No question on sex;
- No definition of “gender”;
- Using the names of the 2 sexes as answer options to request for “gender” data;
- Listing the 2 sexes along with “Non-binary”…. ….which is an identity, not a sex;
- No mention that post-puberty males are banned from the Female category (banned by UKA >3 years ago).

I conclude therefore that LM is using gender self-ID, not sex, for all the ballot places for the 2027 race (the entirety of the LM, inc …

Hi @duncancraig_, I read your article below about parkrun. You have captured well the enormous positive benefits for physical & mental health that parkrun has brought to millions.

You described the controversy over transgender women (males) holding female parkrun records as….

https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/2010283636222808301

…”culture wars”. It is disappointing to see you dismissing fairness for women & girls in this way. In case you are unaware, here are some stats which you could have used in your “parkrun in numbers” list:

- At least 20 female parkrun records (outright and age category)…

Here is a good example of biased BBC reporting illustrating what this memo describes.

This article about Hyrox👇:

At least 11 males ran in F cat in UK parkrun today. There were some incredible ‘achievements’ by these male women!

For the first time that I’m aware of, 2 out of the top 6 in the Female category at one parkrun were male - men really do make the best women! One got 1st Female… …his total haul of 1st Female finishes is nearly 80 now. Thanks to him, as of today, at least 260 times men have got 1st Female. He got 2nd by age grade but wd have been 13th if in M cat. He ran London Marathon in April in the senior men’s category. The other male at this…

The Govt recently announced its Ten Year Health Plan for England.👇In it, it says the Govt will work with Great Run to get millions moving more.

I have written to Health Secretary @wesstreeting drawing his attention to the fact that Great Run uses…

gov.uk/government/pub… …self-ID, not sex, for categories in its events. This is:

1. Against UK Athletics rules.
2. Indirect sex discrimination against females.
3. Sex and belief discrimination against males who are not allowed in the mixed sex category called “Female”.

I asked Streeting to…

This thread illustrates the impact on women & girls of parkrun’s self-ID policy which allows males in the Female category.

A male has been running in the F category for approx 18 months (before that he ran in the Male and AGI/PNTS categories). In 18 months, he has got… “1st Female” nearly 60 times. I have looked at the females who were bumped down to “2nd Female” by this one male. Some facts about them are below. This thread does not cover the females bumped down from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th etc, nor anything else.

Facts:

1. 43 different…

Let me address @stephenwhittle’s points.

1. It’s not a race: explain then why it has measured courses, start & finish lines, timing equipment, age categories, results in descending order of speed with the first runner to finish called “1st”, everyone sets off on command at…

…the same time, etc etc etc.

2. You don’t like parkrun. I used to like it but no longer do bc it a) is unfair against women & girls, b) prioritises men & boys & their demands, c) attracts appalling misogynist men who abuse me & others who want fairness, d) has corrupted the…

UK Athletics @BritAthletics banned all post-puberty males from the Female category in licensed events two years ago today, on 31 March 2023.

A post-puberty male ran in the licensed Surrey Half Marathon two weeks ago in the Female category, breaking UKA rules. He is an EDI… …consultant so presumably knows that the Female category **is** the inclusion measure for females in sport. Yet he chose to break UKA rules & cause unfairness for all females. Strange, huh. He also runs parkrun in the F category - parkrun are very proud of him and published..

Parkrun & the Sullivan Review: 🧵

This week the @Sullivan_Review by @ProfAliceS was published, showing how data everywhere has been corrupted by gender ideology. A good illustration of this happened yesterday in UK parkrun.

At least 5 males ran in the Female category,… …together bumping down >200 females. One of them was this man👇, who can and has run in the extra categories parkrun offers, but he moved to the Female category anyway.

The data corruption caused by another of these 5 males is worth noting:

- he was 1st Female in the…

It’s #InternationalWomensDay! 🥳

The males who run parkrun in the Female category were out in force in UK parkrun today - what better way to mark this special day than by stealing our achievements and subjecting thousands of women & girls to unfairness!

At least 8 ran in… …the Female category.

One got 1st Female - his ‘impressive’ haul of 1st Female finishes is now well over 50. He’d have been 1st in age category if he’d run in the Male category, but why do that when you can come 1st Female & screw over women & girls while you’re at it?!

parkrun Australia: 🧵

Today, two little girls achieved a very special 1-2 as the top two females to finish. I’ve never seen this before. It might be the first time ever. Two v impressive & fast little girls.👏

Sadly, their achievement was ruined by a male in middle age, who… …runs in the F category & finished 2nd. So the two girls were ‘only’ 1st & 3rd in the results, their special (historic?) achievement stolen from them by a man. This man also stole better finish positions from >90 females in total. He already holds the F age category record…

I see the ‘genital inspections’ excuse has been wheeled out by numerous Democrats in Congress, as it has been by many who defend males in the F category in the UK.

This term shows that the person using it:

a) is ill-informed;
b) has made no effort to learn the history… …of sex testing (see @coachblade @cathydevine56 @AlisonSydor & others);
c) is uninterested in sport & particularly fairness & why categories exist;
d) is unthinking;
e) is deliberately spreading fear;
f) is denying that everyone knows what sex they were at birth;…

Hi @Jimmigrant1, you posted this article as proof that being asked to register by sex would put trans people off parkrun. I’ve now had time to look at it. I am starting a new thread bc it needs to be seen widely. My conclusion is it is misleading…

bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/23/… …& biased gender ideology-promoting propaganda.

1. The BJSM is captured by extreme gender identity ideology. For example, it pushed this anti-reality nonsense, eviscerated here by @FondOfBeetles. Please also listen to the @sportsscipod episode which also eviscerated it….

This article about parkrun is extraordinary:🧵



1. The true meaning of “inclusion” is everyone is genuinely & fairly included. The Female category *is* the inclusion measure for females, because of males’ massive physical advantages. This seems to be… independent.co.uk/life-style/par… …entirely lost on PSH since parkrun’s version of inclusion is to let males run in the F category, thereby getting rid of the F category.

What parkrun is doing is not “inclusion” but validating the demands of men who say they are women, & excluding women & girls from things…

Thank you @maanvis81 for posting this interview w Petrillo. Please watch.👇My thoughts:

1. What elite female athlete wears massive dangly earrings which will get in the way of an optimal performance? The last time I saw this was on another male in the Female category, Austin..

https://twitter.com/maanvis81/status/1830583722040799408

…Killips. They can afford to unnecessarily risk impeding their own performance with such things bc they are male w male advantage. And of course it is a performance of ‘woman’ for them.

2. “I don’t hurt anyone”. This is an egregious lie. He has stolen a place in the…

I was on @PatrickChristys’ show last night. Full clip here from 22:35. 👇

Male runner Glen Frank constantly talked over & interrupted me - he’s a man! He also made host Patrick’s job almost impossible. A few key points I want to note: thread.

gbnews.com/shows/patrick-…

https://twitter.com/gbnews/status/1801365175309586672

1. Glen said “I do agree with Mara that there’s no ruling yet to include transgender athletes”. I had not said anything on this. The “I agree w Mara” was made up. Glen’s claim is false - @WorldAquatics spent a year creating an Open category for trans athletes and had no takers.

Thread.

In addition to Glen Frank, another trans-identifying male, Farrah Herbert, ran in the Female category of the London Marathon. The only way this could be within UKA rules is if he entered before 31 March 2023, and was in full compliance with the previous, May 2021 UKA…

…rules, and then deferred his place to 2024.

Do read this article from Woman’s Health UK. In it we learn the following:

1. He competes in swimming, cycling and triathlon - in how many of those events did he also compete in the Female category,…

Latest on parkrun & censorship:

@CannonHparkrun now seem to be saying it was nothing to do with them, but parkrun HQ. 👇

https://twitter.com/doraislost/status/1754905360207331819

I think these are the instructions the local team must have followed. 👇
Starts with “…the risk of various groups….attempting to influence or change our policies and procedures”.

God forbid that anyone might try to change parkrun’s sex discrimination!
