From about 8.15 this morning. They were wonderful and did their usual sterling job of laying out why women and girls deserve fair sports.

Hate how people used to sneer at those names. Good strong working class women’s names. Most women I’ve met over the years with those names are fab.

Me too!

Sharron is a phenomenal woman (don’t know Tracy but have admired Sharron since I was little!)

I'm a same sex attracted woman and I think Sharron is very attractive, so she clearly doesn't look too 'masculine' 😉

I have met her, she is stunning. Clearly still very fit too.

Thanks @ItsCoolForCats They are both so clear, so logical, so coherent.

Sharron was on Free Speech Nation last night and did a fantastic job presenting the case for women's sports (the presenter was also clearly a bit star-struck!)

A comment from a TRA this morning: the funniest part about Sharon Davies is, her body is more masculine than most cis men

So it IS all about appearance! But hang on, I thought it wasn't meant to be all about appearance? And 'Sharron looks like a bloke' is an insult?? So much mixed-up thinking here...

80s Stars. Incredible accomplishments at that time and onwards. Outstanding role models in every respect.

Tallisker · 25/11/2025 18:10

Sharron and Tracy - how very 80s 🤣

Oh wow, that was just fabulous. They're both so clear, so reasonable, so staunch in their commitment to women's sport. I got a bit tearful watching it

Isn't it great that there are so many wonderful women (and men) campaigning for women's sport? Things have shifted dramatically with the male cheats who've been able to exploit women and women's sport finally being put back in their place.

'I don't really know much about Dr. Amir but he seemed clueless and was just reeling off all the TRA talking points he's obviously picked up'

Maybe he's just doing it for cool points then. Really disappointing. He posts a lot of useful and brilliant stuff about women's health on IG

I’m pretty sure Dr Amir Khan is just protecting his lucrative job. Very disappointing after all the caring, helpful stuff on women’s health that he posts on IG. He may well have lost a few followers!
I bet Mama Khan (his redoubtable mother) doesn’t believe TWAW - I hope she puts him right.

Well Sharron will take her seat in the House of Lords soon and being a Baroness means she will have far more influence 🤩

Yes, that's true ❤️.
And certain people India Willoughby for one are not going to be happy.

Lorraine is one of those people who acts like sweetness and light but from various sources is actually anything but.

I love Sharron and hope one day she'll be officially recognised for all she's doing for women in both her sport and all others. Dame Sharron Davies doesn't sound too bad.

The more right of centre men are actually better on this piers Morgan for example.

It’s the new upside down world for us former left of centre women where the bbc and the guardian are wrong and the daily Mail and the telegraph are right.

I don't think men like Piers Morgan have a burning passion for women's rights, but they are just astounded at the ridiculousness of some of the arguments made in the name of gender ideology. This clip is a good example of it. If "Melissa" Poulton can claim to be a lesbian, why can't Piers Morgan identify as a black lesbian?

Piers Morgan is completely correct. The moment you permit people to identify as something they aren't, you open the door to all sorts of absurdities. Why should it be acceptable for me to identify as a woman - but unacceptable to identify as, say, Chin...

Sharron and Tracy were great. Poor Ed was really grasping at straws here and just came over as someone who didn't know what he was talking about.

Yeah that's how it seemed to me. He thought he was proffering the right, virtuous opinions, but he doesn't seem to realise that the overton window has shifted and that most ordinary people don't agree with men being able to compete in the female sports category, for example.

It put me right off Dr Amir. Very disappointing.

Lorraine made a very shocked face when Piers said that 1000 women had lost out medals/places to men. I wasn't sure if this was genuine shock or not

Do you think the penny is dropping for some people that this isn't about being mean to transwomen, but that prioritising gender over sex causes real, tangible harms to women?
