Firing Martina from Allies is working out to be an own goal as more people stand up and speak out on this.

twitter.com/hashtag/TeamNavratilova?src=hash

We know how twitter works Hmm in regards to women speaking out so perhaps this thread could be a place to gather excellent quotes and pictures for people to spread across other platforms and show that Martina's views are shared not by a trickle of support but a tidal wave.

I feel in need of a very nice #TeamNavratilova picture to put on my fbook, any social media gurus around to advise?

Well, I just can't even.

Bellend.

This just sums up the entire attitude. Over and over.

The author of that piece referenced by Kelly Holmes on Twitter:

twitter.com/BenWlv/status/1100158235292651520

"There is also a group of men who’ve blatantly been itching to hurl abuse at women with impunity, who now think all their Christmases have come at once. Everyone, miraculously, can tell who’s an adult human female when it comes to dishing out the abuse".

RockyFlintstone · 26/02/2019 10:13

Kelly Holmes you fucking legend!

Datun · 26/02/2019 10:23

There is no holding back there. Bloody well done Kelly Holmes.

RiverTam · 26/02/2019 10:26

that's an excellent thread by BenWin (who he?).

Lamaha · 26/02/2019 10:29

This is just about the simplest, best summary I've read, and by a man (the BenWlv referenced above)! Sorry if it's been posted already.

Well, you can scare and bully people into shutting up but you can't control what they think. There must be many out there looking for a way out of the restraints.

KnitFastDieWarm · 26/02/2019 11:22

YES Kelly Holmes! Star
The snowball is rolling down the hill at increasing speed and size, the emperor is naked, it’s all happening.

Janice Turner was reported to Twitter for linking to her Times article about Martina.

that's a bit - baffling?!

JaneJeffer · 26/02/2019 11:52

That's really good Lamaha

EweSurname · 26/02/2019 11:53

Just one word but it makes me so glad that she can see the issues

Quite a clever article here, appears to be fence sitting but gets a load of facts in with a solid helping of reverse psychology.

After trans Canadian mountain biker Michelle Dumaresq won the national title in British Columbia in 2006, second-place finisher Danika Schroeter donned a T-shirt provided by her boyfriend during the medal ceremony. It read: “100% Pure Woman Champ.”

The comments are #TeamNavratilova all the way!

Graham Linehan has retweeted a thread from a musician called Zuby. I’m not familiar with him but it’s very funny.

I keep hearing about how biological men don't have any physical strength advantage over women in 2019...

So watch me DESTROY the British Women's deadlift record without trying.

P.S. I identified as a woman whilst lifting the weight. Don't be a bigot. 😂

The entire thread is worth a read for the lols and the sheer common sense. Nice to see more men speaking out to counter the wokebros.

WowWowWomen · 26/02/2019 13:30

MN is a giving a PR masterclass at making sure the story gets airtime by letting everyone know there is more comment from her due shortly. I think there is a healthy switch to #TeamNavratilova going on with the big news outlets after seeing how much support there is. Conversation filtering across the world to all outlets not flash in the pan stuff any longer. The Emperor is totes naked btw.

Martina Navrátilová pointed out that sportswomen, who were born as men, have an unfair advantage. The following outrage shows that activists try to convince society that obvious nonsense is not nonsense at all.

But I reckon The Washington Times (with excellent photo choice) is aiming at a new record for most peak transed Americans of the week so far...

I think it's wonderful when good men speak out on our behalf. Not because we can't fight our own battles, but because they can help to get other men on side; and also because transwomen are less likely to get into conflicts with them.

Here's another great article by Ben:
