Firstly the article is wrong, she didn’t come out as a lesbian, she came out as gay. It was notable at the time that the word lesbian wasn’t used, it seems like no one wants to publicly be a lesbian anymore.
Second, when she did come out as gay, there was criticism of her previous statements (note previous posters here in the thread) and awful abuse on the Stonewall Twitter announcement for her previously expressed views including being told she “can still eat a dick”.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that she’s caved to the demands of those who have abused her. The article in the OP reads like she’s switched to “be kind” mode. She also falsely claims trans athletes are being prevented from competing in elite sport which is a lie. They can compete just like anyone else - in their own sex category.
But most galling is her selling out the everyday girl, the woman woman with no name who misses out at grass roots level because the well-being of males at that level is now more important to those women and girls achieving the success they seek.
I supported her. After she was treated awfully when Rachel McKinnon/Veronica Ivy set the rabid TRAs on her and Holmes was publicly admonished by Specialized, I sent her a thank you email and donated to her foundation. She hasn’t learnt anything new. She can’t have been paying attention to what Martina or Sharron Davies has been saying, or Emma Hilton or Ross Tucker.
For reasons known only to her, she’s let her abusers win and thrown all common sense out of the window to “be kind” to a community that tells her to “eat a dick”. She’s going to learn that nothing she does will be good enough, and in the meantime she’s selling women and girls down the river.
