#TeamNavratilova is gathering pace!

731 replies

SpeakUpXXWomen · 20/02/2019 12:19

Firing Martina from Allies is working out to be an own goal as more people stand up and speak out on this.

twitter.com/hashtag/TeamNavratilova?src=hash

We know how twitter works Hmm in regards to women speaking out so perhaps this thread could be a place to gather excellent quotes and pictures for people to spread across other platforms and show that Martina's views are shared not by a trickle of support but a tidal wave.

I feel in need of a very nice #TeamNavratilova picture to put on my fbook, any social media gurus around to advise?

Poor RM can't cope with actual sex differences can RM? I would have used an accurate pronoun there but I think that still gets a deletion.

I spent a bit of time reading McKinnon's twitter yesterday and came to the conclusion that McKinnon isn't a very pleasant person.

McK is having a proper meltdown.

At Olympian Sharon Davies.

Apparently the 'eyeball test' would have us all thinking Sharon is not a woman.

Transphobic is modern day equivalent of witch.

Seen that on one of the tweets to martina.

So true

Who cares about McKinnon nobody, look at how completely the BBC's attempt to discredit Navratilova has EPICLY failed!

RM did not like getting trounced by Sharon Davis in that interview. I can almost feel the rage.

Kiwi Farms have some good dissection of RM's science offerings. Including some articles RM has retweeted but which actually contradict their own argument. The farmers are not impressed.

Navratilova made clear that she was resolute, tweeting back, “Not going to happen:)”

I love that on the end of that Dr FondofBeetles twitter thread someone has just put 'transwomen are women'.

Do people really still think that invoking those words is the ultimate shut down of any debate?

Nah mate, it doesn't cut the mustard these days I'm afraid. Smile

Datun · 05/03/2019 16:41

I'm not on Twitter. Can everyone please tweet the hell out of that Vulvamort thread.

Maybe copy and paste some of the more pertinent screenshots. Like the one from the cycle trial sporting body?

Manderleyagain · 05/03/2019 16:33

The vulvamort thread is really important. I remember seeing it at the time. The sporting bodies need to be confronted with what they said then.
Lord moynihan is still around. I wonder what he thinks about this now. Sharon Davies and Dr nic should speak to him.

DoctoressPlague · 05/03/2019 16:31

Bloody hell, that Vulvamort thread is dynamite.

Yes!
Behold the insanity of some people who don't want sunlight on this:

"Goodness, got my account restricted there for a moment for tweeting quotes from the House of Lords.
Who knew that was such a revolutionary act?"

Vulvamort, I salute you and your tireless hairy legs! Star Grin

I'm mainly a lurker but have been following the boards for a long time. I'm so heartened to see all the tweets in support of MN.
This is me too.

We live in an age when stating the obvious is forbidden, and women’s sports may never be quite the same.

Refresh me. Tell me again. How the hell did the people making rules for female sports overlook the definition of a transgender woman?

Essentially, this is men pushing women to the back of the line.

That Vulvamort thread needs heavy retweeting and sending to female athletes.

Datun · 05/03/2019 13:27

It was all clear
No guys in women’s sports

It really was. It really bloody was, including changing rooms.

The entire issue was to avoid legitimising same-sex marriage.

Fucking A. Homophobia has brought us misogyny. Who could've predicted?

Bu5 here we are having to fart about with testosterone levels

Dozens and dozens of sporting bodies - they ALL wanted an exemption. Including Cycle Time Trials and the Lawn Tennis Association.

They all saw this coming and wanted to prevent it!!
