What a legend.

It's quite a risk she is taking to speak out.

Yes!!

Fantastic. It takes quite a bit of guts to speak out, especially female athletes. It's great that she understands the value of female sports. Most people would be fine with a separate trans or open category in sports.

She is bloody awesome.

Another Shero.

Oh I love her. She's proper fab.

Very heartening that the comments are 100% supportive. The message is getting through.

She’s a brilliant role model - champion in her sport, black bisexual woman. Thankyou Nicola 💐 you absolute legend.

Go on Nicola, I knew you were sound.

She makes me go weak at the knees like a teenager experiencing their first crush.

Isn't it lovely when someone you admire shows that they're admirable in so many ways. Thank you Nicola for using your platform to speak up for the next generation of sportswomen.

Wonder why Mhairi Black doesn’t invite her to read stories to kids?

She's actually the type of women who could have been manipulated into wanting to be a boy.

Interested in women, tomboy and in a very male dominated sport.

Good for her.

And an OBE to boot. I know alias I come over all swoony.

According to Wikipedia she was voted ‘most influential LGBT person’ in 2012

Well done for speaking out Nicola! As a natal female she won't want to fight a TW so it's particularly pertinent in boxing.

Nicola Adams has been speaking out supporting women only sport for a while. She is bloody brilliant. A word for Sharron Davies too who is an absolute shero.

Now all we need is Anthony Joshua (😍) to speak out too

If the trans women and trans men all competed together, it'd be interesting to see who won.

Would the trans women have to let the trans men win, to prove gender ideology right?

Love her so much. She'll have had to train alongside men most of her career and knows the physical biological realities far more than anyone else.
Chances of TRAs listening to a Black sportswoman are essentially nil but maybe the Olympic movement might take some notice.

There's one GC woman no one's going to try to punch.

The TRAs are never going to listen to anyone. Getting other people to stop listening to them, that's the goal.

Awesome - thank you Nicola!

I'm a little bit in love with Nicola

Hurrah a true champion

Love her
