Sharron Davies

I just appears to be something they throw at feminists in order to backfoot them.

But this is a woman, a feminist herself??

I know there are a few women out there who are pushing the TRA line but I was surprised, I thought she was an intelligent woman. She seems to be saying that understanding biological difference exists is a white imperialist discourse??

Jesus god I am so confused.

I heard some of that broadcast Bubble.

Yes Sharron was great, but there was some complete knob, talking utter bollocks.

Sharron referred to the historical doping scandal of the former East Germany and how it was so difficult to challenge them. Yes, that would be right as those poor lasses were given drugs which effectively caused them to act like men.

I tell everyone I can about this issue. It’s an international scandal.

It needs more air time than a few articles on the radio. It needs a full TV show with brilliant women like Sharron and Martina. Anyone opposing their opinion will just come across as a dangerous idiot.

Well done Sharron. An athletic icon for my generation.
Nothing she said is wrong.
Interesting that the BBC acknowledge in their own (rather biased) report that Sharron points out that her opinions are widespread and that currently competing athletes are powerless to speak out. I hope people see that message in this story and it piques interest to find out more.

Can someone explain wtf this means? How is Sharron's tweet white supremacist? This is so confusing to me. I don't get it.

I don't get it either. Logic is not their strong suit. It will be something about privilege and transwomen being women the same as black women and red haired women.

I just appears to be something they throw at feminists in order to backfoot them.

I'm sure they can string two or three utterly irrational things together, in order to make their point, though.

I wish someone would push back against McKinnon's use of the 'human right' aspect of their argument. Absolutely nobody is being excluded from participation in sport by a requirement to compete in the correct category. You might as well say that a 12 stone rower is having their rights infringed by not being allowed to compete in a lightweight rowing race. Rules are for the birds, amirite Rach?

Thank you Sharon. Where are the mail voices of support on this in sport?

LESSONS HAVE NOT BEEN LEARNT

Not sure if it was covered on MN but I caught the end of SD talking on Jeremy Vine's Radio 2 'show' last week, arguing very well indeed her views but being drowned out by an utter tosspot with no ability at all to see the trans issues from the viewpoint of women. I was well impressed, well done Sharron.

Daley Thompson tweeting in support of sharron

I bet Daley Thompson doesn't get the same shit on Twitter as Sharon does.
Thank you Sharon

BBC concentrating yet again on a woman's reaction to a story. Put her out there, isolate her and set the dogs on her. They may as well have put Trans Lobby - Please Bully Sharron Davies Now in the headline.

Really good point *Popchyk^. Must look for complaint page.

This kind of tweet is such an admission that they have nothing, and it's why they will not prevail.

The more of that shit they post to people who are beloved public figures (instead of moany old feminists) the better.

The way the BBC use quotation marks and quotes in the first few paragraphs of that story is quite abominable.

Didn't someone tell Sharron that she could have beaten men if only she'd tried harder?

With both women who are angry at the continued anti woman bias of the BBC and the (mostly) right wingers mad about Tommy Robinson and free speech, the BBC are going to be losing a lot in licence fees this year.

Well done Sharron Davies! Awesome woman

I love Sharron

Why is it, with these articles on the BBC, Guardian etc that the go to response to a female sports legend taking a stance is to have a quote from McKinnon saying “[insert legendary sportswoman] is a transphobe”?

It’s just so tedious, as well as insulting to that woman.

Wow. That tweet to Sharron Davies is so gross. TRAs outing themselves to the general public as completely unhinged and abusive.

This kind of tweet is such an admission that they have nothing, and it's why they will not prevail.

Here is a BBC article about transgenderism in sport - with Rachel McKinnon stating that men have no biological advantages over women.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/46453958

The article states:

"It is difficult to measure numbers accurately, but government figures suggest there are 200,000 to 500,000 transgender people in the UK, equating to 0.3%-0.75% of the population".

And yet. Here's BBC's own Equality Information Report from 2018.

Stating that 2.8% of the BBC's senior management team identify as transgender.

If you’re on any of the UK Reddits, you’ll note that this has generated tumbleweed, as it interferes with their work “thinking” skills. Good for Sharron.

I suspect they've sign some sort of "Code of Conduct" agreement along with the Guardian and the like which stops them from publishing anything bad about Trans-people.
Something which looks like an innocent inclusive agreement but is actually about promoting the Trans ideology.

Well done Sharron.

And if the BBC think we’ll forget this horseshit they are very much mistaken.
I pay £150 a year for this bollocks?!?
