#TeamNavratilova is gathering pace!

[SpeakUpXXWomen]

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

We know how twitter works 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?

Sharron's strong appearance on BBC Scotland yesterday (the whole segment starts at 30.30 mins in):

Thanks to Vulvamort via Dr Pam Thompson for putting this thread back into discussion showing how sports bodies really felt about being forced to include men in women's sports;

many many elite female & male athletes feel the same way & a few of us decided we’d take the abuse because we don’t want a generation of young female athletes to miss out or give up all together #transgenderdebate

Thank you Sharron Davies MBE xxx

"She is arguing that from her own point of self interest and as far as I'm aware the facts that she talks about are not facts," Radcliffe responded.

From the above article -- exactly. It's all about self-interest, not at all about fairness. Me, me, me.

Always awesome when we come together our SPACE is unique and well deserved as women who have achieved, can achieve, and will achieve even more. International women's day is around the corner. LETS GO GIRLS its yours if YOU want it x

Fucking hell! So many of the most respected, highest achieving women of my youth, speaking out, knowing that they will be abused for doing so.

It’s made my eyes wet.

Massive props to Dr Nic for all she’s done to both prepare the ground in advance and provide ongoing support/resources for the pro female athletes now taking up the places on the frontline.

Omg Tessa Sanderson

Sharron was always my hero but wow she’s doing a fantastic job - McK has such aggressive body language doesn’t **?

Bloody hell, that Vulvamort thread is dynamite.

Dozens and dozens of sporting bodies - they ALL wanted an exemption. Including Cycle Time Trials and the Lawn Tennis Association.

They all saw this coming and wanted to prevent it!!

Our SPACE is unique..LETS GO GIRLS
Woohoo!!! 🎉 I love Tessa Sanderson so much!!

Yeps

Bu5 here we are having to fart about with testosterone levels

It was all clear
No guys in women’s sports

It was all clear
No guys in women’s sports

It really was. It really bloody was, including changing rooms.

The entire issue was to avoid legitimising same-sex marriage.

Fucking A. Homophobia has brought us misogyny. Who could've predicted?

That Vulvamort thread needs heavy retweeting and sending to female athletes.

the law allows female sport to be reserved for the female sex only

Refresh me. Tell me again. How the hell did the people making rules for female sports overlook the definition of a transgender woman?

Essentially, this is men pushing women to the back of the line.

I'm mainly a lurker but have been following the boards for a long time. I'm so heartened to see all the tweets in support of MN.

Stand up.

Retweet.

Speak out.

Grass roots is power.

We live in an age when stating the obvious is forbidden, and women’s sports may never be quite the same.

Yes!
Behold the insanity of some people who don't want sunlight on this:

"Goodness, got my account restricted there for a moment for tweeting quotes from the House of Lords.
Who knew that was such a revolutionary act?"

Vulvamort, I salute you and your tireless hairy legs!

The vulvamort thread is really important. I remember seeing it at the time. The sporting bodies need to be confronted with what they said then.
Lord moynihan is still around. I wonder what he thinks about this now. Sharon Davies and Dr nic should speak to him.

I'm not on Twitter. Can everyone please tweet the hell out of that Vulvamort thread.

Maybe copy and paste some of the more pertinent screenshots. Like the one from the cycle trial sporting body?

I love that on the end of that Dr FondofBeetles twitter thread someone has just put 'transwomen are women'.

Do people really still think that invoking those words is the ultimate shut down of any debate?

Nah mate, it doesn't cut the mustard these days I'm afraid.

let’s face it… if you’re a boy competing against girls (no matter what you “identify” as) you are cheating

the real erasure of women these days is coming from their fellow progressives

Navratilova made clear that she was resolute, tweeting back, “Not going to happen:)”

RM did not like getting trounced by Sharon Davis in that interview. I can almost feel the rage.

Kiwi Farms have some good dissection of RM's science offerings. Including some articles RM has retweeted but which actually contradict their own argument. The farmers are not impressed.
