McKinnon targeting Kelly Holmes

[Sexnotgender]

McKinnon is going after Kelly Holmes now and has tweeted @iamspecialized who Kelly has a sponsorship deal with

There is no proof she is gay. She is a very private individual and you should not discuss her sexual orientation because we don't know what it is.

That would be Double-Gold Olympian, 800m & 1500m, Athens 2004

Agree with this ^^

i mean sarcelle post

Ack, damn media gossip milks, I hadn’t realized. No wish to intrude on her privacy, her sexual orientation is her own business of course! I’ll withdraw that.

Yeah, Kelly is very GNC in her private life, or that presented to the public at least, and that has an impact on how women are targeted.

Thanks for highlighting this. I use Garmin fitness stuff and regularly recommend their products. I have emailed their press office in support of Dame Kelly Holmes. One would hope that (given the amount of science they claim to put in to their fitness products) they have some grasp of the difference between male and female bodies when it comes to physical ability.

I have reported my post, hopefully MNHQ will delete it.

Ovagroundwombling that must have been such a satisfying told you so

This whole thing is just a total shitstorm of awfulness.

Trying to insult women by saying they look like men is a patriarchal-max misogynist and massively heteronormative activity with strong lesbophobic and racist undertones.

This is same old same old.

Does anyone know what kind of bike Ms McKinnon rides? A man's bike, or a woman's bike? Just out of interest...

Kelly Holmes does a lot of PR work for the army who have made her an honorary colenel. At the time she was serving, it was common for SIB to investigate you for a 'conduct unbecoming' charge on the basis of your friends, your haircut, your lack of a boy/girl friend of the approved sex, and notoriously your record collection. (Joan Armatrading was a dead giveaway, apparently.)

You did not have to be gay, just insufficiently homophobic, and you were out.

Wow

SIB?

Special Investigation branch of the Royal Military Police.

There was a very good episode of "A Touch of Frost" about the whole business.

Thanks - not familiar with the military.

Eye opening post.

probably sensible to delete some of the messages in reply as well if people don't mind reporting themselves?

"Does anyone know what kind of bike Ms McKinnon rides? A man's bike, or a woman's bike? Just out of interest..."

Probably a big "dude's" bike, even though they are a "ladeee", with strong tubes to support the rather "ample" physique, and a thin saddle to support the narrower pelvic bones.

I hope Specialized fires their social media person. I saw in her profile she's in Los Gatos, CA. That's Silicon Valley and very very posh. She has big money, from,this job or somewhere else.

I feel very certain she's doing a tap-dance now, trying to explain that the problem is UK feminists are just soooo transphobic. Just as that fool American Guardian journalist said. I hope the company execs have broader vision and more maturity than she does. These young totalaitarians need a sharp reining in.

Emily Rowan is an actress, I think. Not sure how she comes in to the R4 debate?

I just got soooo excited !!!!

I'm ready to tape over the logo on my bike as I shall not be advertising that I'm riding a Specialized bike if they don't show some sense.
