#TeamNavratilova is gathering pace!

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?

Why was asking RM if she thinks Sharron Davies is transphobic apparently so bad?

Presumably because the next question would be, why?

And I don't suppose McKinnon fancies going on live radio to say that sex segregation is transphobic.

StereophonicallyChallenged · 04/03/2019 23:38

If McKinnon is having a Twitter moment can someone screenshot it please Smile

HairyPotter · 04/03/2019 23:42

McKinnon is not happy 😂

Watching the race angle. Waiting for Serena or Venus to say something.

I'm fearing that our right wing "allies" are going to go off on those black track kids in Connecticut

Is the BBC finally getting its act together and realising that misogyny isn't a great idea?

Fairenuff · 04/03/2019 23:47

What was McKinnon's answer to the question about Sharron's comments being transphobic?

HairyPotter · 04/03/2019 23:50

Now I might be wrong, but I think McKinnon might have had McKinnon’s arse handed to them.

Literally.

Rachel wants to ask for a refund, I don’t think the therapy’s helping that much.

Fairenuff · 05/03/2019 00:13

McKinnon says she was blindsided by being interviewed with Sharron yet 13hrs earlier on her twitter feed she was saying that she would gladly be interviewed with Sharron. She's only upset because she came out of it looking bad.

FloralBuntingIsObnoxious · 05/03/2019 00:17

McKinnon left the well crafted arguments that everyone is terrified of in their other handbag.

WiggleXX · 05/03/2019 00:48

Blimey just reading down McKinnon's twitter feed, those people absolutely despise women don't they?

I would be in total awe of being able to converse with someone like Davies, especially about sport. Can you imagine what an opportunity that must be to any athlete anywhere, to share a platform with someone that accomplished? Regardless of difference of opinion, most would be WOW!

Where is the respect? Where is the intelligent debate and revelling in the knowledge? People can agree to disagree and still be respectful of each other. This egocentric weirdness is just astonishing, how can anyone behaving that way expect to be taken seriously about anything ever? I just see male entitlement and not too bright at that.

That's classic Fairenuff Grin

every single woman athlete feels the same way, but they are afraid to speak about the issue because liberals routinely shout them down and bully them into silence.

neonnettle.com/news/6689-olympic-athlete-calls-for-ban-on-transgender-competitors-in-female-sports
Every single woman athlete I’ve spoken to, and I have spoken to many, all of my friends in international sports, understand and feels the same way as me

Amid all the debate-suppressing fury though, the facts speak for themselves.

The 56-year-old’s comments were supported by many, including Olympic track winner Sally Gunnell, gold medallist boxer Nicola Adams OBE and gold middle distance athlete Dame Kelly Holmes.

Ach they love her #TeamNavratilova #iStandWithMartina :)

Martina is a fucking LEGEND.

Not surprised that Rachel had been caught out fibbing on twitter, but since Rachel Rachelself was boasting only the other day that Rachel is literally the most knowledgeable and expert person IN THE WORLD in this subject, surprised they're totally unable to make their case in the presence of someone who disagrees with them.

Iused2BanOptimist · 05/03/2019 06:43

McKinnon left the well crafted arguments that everyone is terrified of in their other handbag. Grin

Should've brought a gold lamé one.

SophoclesTheFox · 05/03/2019 06:51

It is mystifying that Rachel, who yesterday said that There is no one in the world who knows as much on this topic as Rachel does seems so ill equipped to articulate and defend their position.

This is their raisin d’etre. It should be a piece of cake for a credible academic to take apart arguments relating to their specialist topic that they say are so manifestly, laughably wrong.

Odd that McKinnon can’t ever seem to do that. Straight to the name calling. Crack on though Rache, I don’t care what everyone else says, you’re doing a sterling job! (Just not the one you fondly hope you are Grin)

Iused2BanOptimist · 05/03/2019 06:51

"The literal dictionary definition of transphobic "

Their not so keen on literal dictionary definitions when it comes to the literal Dictionary definition of a woman though are they. ( I do mean that in the plural - we can all think of another person that literally applies to).

Iused2BanOptimist · 05/03/2019 07:03

They're dammit.
Literal autocorrect fail. Blush

EweSurname · 05/03/2019 07:03

Or sexual orientations eg lesbians!

Another voice standing with Martina (and Sharron - who has been incredible)

I just can't get over the fact that McKinnon has a PhD in philosophy. I mean that is all about logic, argument, etc. McKinnon is just hopeless in arguing any case, all McKinnon says is "You're a transphobe! I'm hurt! Hurt!" I'm intrigued what McKinnon's paper "Sure the Emperor Has No Clothes, But You Shouldn't Say That" says!

EweSurname · 05/03/2019 07:10

Australian Olympian Tamsyn Lewis Manou also speaking out

Iused2BanOptimist · 05/03/2019 07:15

Do take one for the team and save us all the eye strain please MrsJamin

ChattyLion · 05/03/2019 07:18
