At first I was delighted to see thisat last a big name in women's sport is speaking up! but then I got angry all over again that this utterly obvious point has to be explained to an adult, in this case, a Guardian journalist. It boggles the mind.

I think 'Professor' McK means augers Well, not ages well. He's showing all the signs of a megalomaniac.

littlbrowndog · 21/12/2018 20:50

McKinnon hungry for fame
Martina didn’t know what sort of person she was dealing with being a nice person
Reminds me of the sort of stuf& that harrop writes on twitter
Guys eh singing from same old stuff

That is a first for me

Fighting back after I call you out for naked transphobia never ages well for people. No one wins, but someone sure loses...and it's never me. Just thank us for correcting you, apologize, and do better.

It's really that simple.

What an pure tosser

FloralBunting · 21/12/2018 21:10

Fighting back, little woman? Don't you know who I am? Just give thanks for your correction and don't make me angry again.

I mean, good fucking grief, can anyone seriously read this shit and not see very, very clearly what kind of person McKinnon is?

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/12/2018 21:26

Have any prominent sportspeople (or any prominent anyone) spoken up in support of Martina yet?

Qcng · 21/12/2018 21:27

Yes.
A sociopath.

Rememory · 21/12/2018 21:28

The only male tennis star I've noticed that speaks up for women is Andy Murray. Or maybe it's because he's the only one I follow.

She was my idol from my teens onwards. Intelligent, a fantastic athlete and a brilliant woman.

I am blocked by loads. I looked at a FPFW thread with a private browsing window, and it was unrecognisable.
