@DoctorTwo

Perfect answer from Ms Robles. #NoThankYou

I would buy and wear a t-shirt with this slogan on.

Just ordered mine from eBay. Plenty on Etsy too

Absolute Queens.

In the silence they all knew what they were each thinking. What a shame they can't say how they really feel. I guess they save that for when they're training together.

That was utter class. I think the English language may just have evolved slightly.

@CharlieParley

Nine full seconds of silence to be precise.
💜💜💜
TalkingtoLangClegintheDark · 03/08/2021 22:38

This has made me so happy

Perfect! I also intend to get a ‘no, thank you’ t-shirt.

OneMoreForExtra · 03/08/2021 22:36

Thank you CharlieParley! Absolutely brilliant.

INTERVIEWER: There was a historic night here with Laurel Hubbard competing as the first openly transgender…in an individual event I was wondering how you felt about that?

SEVERAL SECONDS OF SILENCE

American Weightlifter Sarah Robles: No thank you.

Voice0fReason · 03/08/2021 22:27

This is just perfect and the Twitter replies are just sublime.
This is going to be my stock response to so many things now!
Pronouns? No thank you.
Are TW women? No thank you.

I am definitely getting this on a t-shirt.

MNybvcx54 · 03/08/2021 22:25

That was classy

GCAcademic · 03/08/2021 22:23

Give those women some more medals.

@KevinBaconsJeans

Excellent response. It doesn't matter whether it was 'no thank you' to men in women's sports or 'no thank you' to getting involved in the controversy.

She bettet not get any shit for it

Exactly this - for all we know from that response, these three athletes are either full-on TWAW or they're vehement believers in the fact that you can't change sex. It's a perfectly noncommittal response.

I choose to believe they're the latter, obv, but am still very impressed Grin

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/08/2021 22:02

Love it.

Also a polite response next time someone asks about pronouns Grin

SparklingLime · 03/08/2021 22:02

Amazing 🎉🎉🎉

OneMoreForExtra · 03/08/2021 22:02

Yes please tell us the question (will watch the vid as soon as I can)

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 03/08/2021 21:59

that was great

#NoThankYou indeed

Strikemepink · 03/08/2021 21:54

What was the question? I can’t watch the video right now!

Ifyourefeelingsinister · 03/08/2021 21:35

I LOVE that response!

BattyOrange · 03/08/2021 21:31

They will have been briefed on appropriate answers. They know they cannot say anything critical.

Yes. But the long, long silence after the question, the body language and the eventual tone of voice of the clipped reply - all spoke volumes.
Perfect response!

Someone should post that clip on the BBC Sports thread....

JoborPlay · 03/08/2021 21:31

That silence! Brilliant.

TellMeHowYouMet · 03/08/2021 21:09

Oh I couldn't love this more!

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 03/08/2021 21:05

That long, long, long silence and then...

Just so polite.
