Who has done masses for encouraging girls and children into sport. Who has raised a son who gave this magnificent performance (as well as all the sporty ones):

'Not fair at all. Protect women’s sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics. This is wrong.'

Thank you, Judy, you amazing woman.

RIP Nutmeg’s round-up posted in the replies to Judy’s tweet is quite the eye-opener: mobile.twitter.com/ripx4nutmeg/status/1400344909182345216

Thank you Judy. 💐

That is horrific viewing, if anyone is in any doubt about second and third rate male wannabe sports stars using “transition” into women’s sports to bolster their flaccid dicks. egos then this is the proof.

Judy Murray is a legend in her own lifetime.

She is an amazing woman. Thank you Judy.

Thanks for that Speccy link. I thought the part about this being a display of top-down imposition was spot on, particularly this: "It is because the object is not advancing the interests of dysphoria sufferers or accommodating their needs but the raw exercise of elite power".

'Judy Murray could have concentrated on coaching and using her charity foundation to give more young people the opportunity to take up tennis. But the thought of a biological male being offered a place in golfing set aside for women was evidently too much for her. The campus can come to the mainstream, it can foist its catechisms on us, it can demand submission and punish heresy but there are always going to be people like Judy Murray who are only prepared to be pushed so far.'

Yes. That's some impressive big names in sport standing up for women, now.

The more speak up, the easier it becomes for everyone else.

It's so important that people like her speak out. Massive gratitude to you Judy, you are some woman. Ditto Sharon, Martina and all the other women who've taken a stand outside of sports.

mikado1 · 22/08/2022 13:48

I was wondering, watching and waiting... not easy to do it.. Massive well done to her! I can't imagine Andy doesn't think the same... he may be drawn in.

💖👏🏻

bettbburg · 22/08/2022 01:34

She's doing some great stuff but I can't stand her on it's my house, she just winds me up with her comments 🙄

OhSister · 22/08/2022 00:12

Well said Judy!

Here's another clip of Andy correcting an interviewer who tried to credit him with a 'first' that had already been accomplished by both of the Williams sisters.

If I may, I’ll leave this here from Judy’s Twitter.

Love. Her.

Yes! I loved loved this post of hers especially as all my children did similar in front of that same painting 😃

happinessischocolate · 21/08/2022 19:08

I wasn't on Twitter but I am now. Go Judy ❤️

I love Judy. She's wonderful.

EsmaCannonball · 21/08/2022 16:11

She was a legend on Strictly.

Whenever I see a woman make a stand like this I feel heartened but also worried about what she is about to be in for.

Anyone who watches mixed-doubles knows that it's a standard tactic for the men to target the women because it's harder for the women to return. It's a feature of the game.

nocoolnamesleft · 21/08/2022 13:59

Good for her.

TheMarzipanDildo · 21/08/2022 13:49

Go Judy!

I’ve just had a conversation with some right eejits in the comments. They claimed that I’m a sock puppet, so now I’m really keen to know my real identity Grin

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 21/08/2022 13:26

Judy. You are a legend. 🌻

OhSusannah · 21/08/2022 13:19

Can you believe anyone is so confused as to make this reply to Judy’s tweet?

And yet one of your sons plays mixed doubles so you think that men can play against women.

😂
surely surely joking 🤞👀

Rainbowshit · 21/08/2022 13:15

Judy Murray is an absolute legend.

Oh dear!
Just off to look at the replies to that!

Judy has been plugging away at this for ages. I saw something else she tweeted recently and it gave me the impression she has no fucks left to give.

She tweeted “WTF!!” (and nothing else) in response to the news about the chap in Dundee being appointed menstruation officer.

Igmum · 21/08/2022 12:36

Thank you Judy from me too. Save women's sport
