I wonder why Naomi Lovesay DNS. That could be an interesting conversation.

Seems like the live stream won't carry this race though, only the men's events tonight, so we won't get to see it.

And as for those women who aren't athletes, nor being allowed having an opinion on athletics.

Now that's ironic from someone who is neither a woman nor an athlete in any meaningful sense.

andyoldlabour · 18/10/2019 12:18

At this point, all of the other women should withdraw from the event, thus ensuring that there are no other competitors taking part in this farce.

Feel free to add tweets - nobody thinks this is fair: twitter.com/masterstrack/status/1185124081408118784

Dawn Orwick is ON FIRE!

Congratulations on your top qualifying spot Dawn!

Is McK nuts? Pendleton had massive thighs!

Such a jarring comment to make. Who, in the world of athletics, even thinks of the words teeny tiny, without intending to insult?

And as for those women who aren't athletes, nor being allowed having an opinion on athletics.

Doesn't that undermine transgenderism entirely?

Victoria Hood: "I have sympathy with them. They have a right to do sport but not a right to go into any category they want."

Exactly.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 18/10/2019 10:44

Congratulations Dawn Orwick for being the top qualifier.

Someone has just posted this on the Sky twitter thread. How gutting for the females in the 35-39 category.

It looks as though the Sprint qualifying is taking place soon after 6pm today.

Victoria Pendleton's thighs were massive - I remember seeing her on Strictly and the difference to every other woman was huge. She was a champion, deservedly so. Chris Hoy's thighs are massive too and much bigger than Victoria's - that's what you get for being an elite athlete. The difference between Victoria and Chris is because of sex - duh!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 18/10/2019 10:17

Maybe we just need to have gender/sex

Female:woman - voila both bases covered. Outside and in as it were.

What does "medically female" even mean?

Can I call myself "medically elven"?

Blah, blah, transphobe, blah.

Whatever, McKinnon, your word is meaningless, the whole damn universe is 'transphobic' now.

The public by contrast see you for what you are, an XY person who should compete against men and only against men. People are not on board with trans privilege ideology no matter how many times you say that meaningless word.

OrchidInTheRain · 18/10/2019 10:13

If McKinnon's medical records say female, that puts their health at risk. Idiotic.

I wonder why Sky didn't tag RM in that tweet.

Also see RM has been up and at 'em with this:
"...nearly all of the people opposing trans women in sport are NOT athletes and are NOT supporters of women's sport.

"If your only 'support for women' is opposing and harassing trans women...you're just a transphobe."

Grin yeah ok Rach. not supporting a male sexed person in a female race apparently equals "not supporters of women's sport". And what's this? Martina, Sharron, Kelly et al - "not athletes"?!

Someone needs to take Rachel's shovel away.

I worry for medical science and the current batch of practitioners, if they cannot distinguish between male and female.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 18/10/2019 10:07

I worry for prostate owners I really do.

LikeothersIamjustme · 18/10/2019 10:04

"All my medical records say female,"
I wonder when she had her last smear test?

"To take a British example, look at Victoria Pendleton, an Olympic champion with teeny tiny legs."

Said no woman ever.

Cock.

To be inundated with offline messages of support feels very subversive.

It is subversive. Good.

OOO that's a good idea, perhaps we can do a mass mail out - any ideas on the address?

I think people appreciate it when you take notice, I made a really small donation to Kelly Holmes' charity and said why I was donating, after I got the usual 'thank you' email I got another with 'personal thanks'
