#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?

Love that thread sunset, it is really something to see that growing list isn't it?

Happy International Women's Day!

So much sunlight

I am so pleased to see this- feels like a real sea change in favour of women’s sport.

Isn’t it amazing, how a group of intelligent and knowledgeable women, with huge experience in their field and an absolute commitment to fair play, can illuminate this whole issue.
No wonder the TRA can only use bullying and silencing. Because the second you actually apply sunlight, there is no hiding the huge great massive mammoth of unfairness standing in the room.
Frankly if the law and IOC rules allows women’s sport to be so easily undermined then the law is an ass and it needs changing to protect sex segregation in competition.

Other countries aren't going to hesitate to field "transgender" men in women's competitions.

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

A woman unbroken by communism and vicious homophobia was forced to accommodate the perpetually outraged virtue signalers. That’s awesome power for the supposedly powerless.

Right now, women, feminists, lesbians, gay and straight men, intersex people, concerned parents, and many non-ideologue transwomen are fighting tooth and nail to stop the roll back of rights

Speak out unless you really don’t care about a level playing field for females. It doesn’t have to be a shout just a supportive yes I’d like fairness please

Now girl gymnasts have to share changing rooms with boys who identify as female (and trans girls don't have to wear 'revealing' leotards)

Sanchez Manning article

Amazing posts and links on here thanks everyone it is great to have these collected together. Makes it much easier to talk to others about this issue with all these examples to hand.

Ella I completely agree with you. I feel that sport is the tip of the iceberg of issues where we need sunlight and reality to be reapplied, but I feel hopeful that we will get there in time and sport is so significant in having been the issue that is starting that process of questioning.

That article by JCJ. Set in contrast to RM's carefully reasoned "shut the f* up transphobes". Our philosopher's better than your philosopher :p

One mother, whose nine-year-old daughter competes as a gymnast, said: ‘For a long time, parents have been asking British Gymnastics why do girls have to wear leotards – could they wear shorts or leggings? So now they’ve changed the rules, but to protect boys and not the girls.’

This is the whole damn problem in a nutshell. Well done that mother.

The leotards thing is ridiculous. Just such obvious bulsh*t.

Oh my beating heart!

Davies and others are looking to create a website where athletes who fear speaking out can anonymously submit their views on transgender participation in sport.

That’s great!!

Love Kelly Holmes comment re Brit gymnastics. This is excellent!

I notice no one's threatened to duff up Sgt Holmes yet.

Great TalkSport interview tonight... surprised the guys they had no idea how bad the situation was! I think a lot of people aren’t grasping how terrible this is for woman’s sport. No surgery, no horemones, no medical diagnosis, one years reduced T. Self ID. Have a listen if about

Needs sharing ...

We believe the burden of proof remains with those who do not think robust data on sex, whether legal or biological, is still needed.

Sports solution: Women's Category & Open Category for men, transitioning males, nontransitioning males, women using testosterone, & all others who want to compete (w/in reasonable hormonal ranges). Simple. Women's class stays protected, men finally put skin in game. @Olympics**

Unless you want to completely remake what Women’s Sports means, there can be no blanket inclusion rule. There is nothing stereotypical about this- it’s about fairness and it’s about science.

Comprehensive look at women's sport

It also contributes to a sort of mass delusion infecting our whole society in which, thanks to the influence of the powerful LGBT movement, everybody now has to either affirm the absurd and crazy – that a man who is essentially a female impersonator can fairly compete against women – or they have to suffer abuse and persecution as bigots just for speaking the truth.

Good article linked by Davies MBE

It is irrefutable that male biology, and therefore male sports performance, is different to female biology and therefore female sports performance. The cause is seen by most people as just.

Love Martina! Thanks for the updates :)

I know for a fact that Sir, who clearly does not have a teaching qualification, has been reported to Southampton safeguarding.

"I know for a fact that Sir, who clearly does not have a teaching qualification, has been reported to Southampton safeguarding."

I actually wondered if they were in the teaching profession or merely a fantasist. There are a lot of retweets from Green party and "woke" Labour stuff on their feed.

Suspect he's working in one of Gove's education emporiums where they get any old graduate in. Aside from anything else, the juvenile down-with-the-kids "Stay Rad" vocab is grounds for barring on its own.

You are supposed to be the grown-up in the room.
