For saying that a trans woman who claims to have beaten a cycling record (in the women's category) is a man.

She's rattled a few cages it seems.

I stand with Posie.

Bloody cheek

And he's all excited because he's won a race against all women. What a star.

I just discussed this with DD. We are utterly confused. That is a man?! WTF???!

Targeted for telling the truth. Yet plenty of men are saying exactly the same with no problem. It is so wrong.

ButchyRestingFace · 14/10/2018 16:37

Her account has been suspended on Twitter so I can't read it.

R0wantrees · 14/10/2018 16:32

I suspect there are a lot more people watching Posie Parker's FB page and reporting.

Most people's posts are not targetted.

This is how Posie Parker (and others) were / are banned on Twitter and also sometimes here on Mumsnet.

Its the mass reporting what done it!

Budgieinaberet · 14/10/2018 16:31

Ban all women ?

Mumfun · 14/10/2018 16:22

what would Facebook do if hundreds of thousands of people commented that it was a man in a womans sport ?:)

Trinity1976 · 14/10/2018 16:22

I honestly don't know how any male-born person can compete against women and brag about their success. They just look like a twat! That McKinnon person is now freaking out on Twitter because of all the flak they've been getting.

Hollow My two year old said, "man and two ladies"

LangCleg · 14/10/2018 16:19

30 day ban, as I understand it.

Mumfun · 14/10/2018 16:18

have you seen the fab video on her account :)www.facebook.com/humanfemales/videos/1646993818739590/UzpfSTEwMDAwMzI5OTY3OTA4NjoyMjEyMzYxMDU1NTUwNTI5/

Did anyone else see the three winners and think "Who's that bloke in the middle?"

IStandWithPosie · 14/10/2018 16:17

Donations for what?

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 14/10/2018 16:17

Rachel, channelling the fast show's competitive dad, claims they'd love to the Olympics but, y' know politics...

That's the wicked politics that still thinks people should compete in their biological category. Rachel could, of course, enter in the right category but isn't good enough.

My DH loves cycling. He says it's given him an idea...

His opinion on Rachel was more pugnacious than Posie's!

OhHolyJesus · 14/10/2018 16:17

I reposted the instagram on Rachel McKinnon (under a share of Posie's London projections) but didn't comment so I might comment now and see if I get banned!

Anyone else unable to access the Fair Play for Women website? What is going on? I used that just a few days ago to make my submission for the GRA consultation.

“Fair Play for Women: Dick Boldly Goes” is still available at
