Who has done masses for encouraging girls and children into sport. Who has raised a son who gave this magnificent performance (as well as all the sporty ones):

'Not fair at all. Protect women’s sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics. This is wrong.'

Thank you, Judy, you amazing woman.

Thank you Judy!

She’s great (I also love her spoof videos with the third Son, Duncan?, who can’t play tennis).

Brilliant woman.

MyNameIsAngelicaSchuyler · 21/08/2022 10:03

I can’t reply on Twitter due to potential backlash, I hope someone sends her this thread. THANK YOU JUDY!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Legend. They must know, sporting people. Takes courage to speak up still, but every big name who does makes it easier for the next.

Judy Murray, Martina Navratilova, two women who have done a huge amount for tennis in different ways. I wonder what Serena Williams makes of it all, she knows the difference between a female body and a male body.

rabbitwoman · 21/08/2022 10:11

I heard a cracking interview with Serena Williams once when she said she doesn't want to play against men because she likes to win!! She was very definite. She said she would not stand a chance against a man....

She was specifically talking about men, not trans women, at the time but she must be aware of what is happening at the moment.

I read years ago about how her and Venus were beaten absolutely roundly by the 250th seeded guy...... After he had spent the morning playing golf and had a nice big lunch..... So she knows. Amazes me that other people don't....

Passmeaplacard · 21/08/2022 10:15

Well done Judy! I also can’t show support on Twitter as someone reported me to my workplace last time I supported a statement like that

MaryGubbins · 21/08/2022 10:23

She’s getting pasted on Twitter though. Some bloke saying that the differences within women are bigger that the differences between sexes in rugby. I mean …

Musomama1 · 21/08/2022 10:30

I know I'm surprised by some of the comments. Standing up for women is to invoke in the far right...etc etc. One there is male advantage, golfing takes power and stamina, it's a physical sport. Two it takes a biological woman's space and effects the rankings.

RIP Nutmeg’s round-up posted in the replies to Judy’s tweet is quite the eye-opener: mobile.twitter.com/ripx4nutmeg/status/1400344909182345216

Thank you Judy. 💐

Cripes. The Twitter responses are astonishing.

I doubt Judy will read this, but I hope she is able to move past the predictable insults, lies and smears.

Judy has been plugging away at this for ages. I saw something else she tweeted recently and it gave me the impression she has no fucks left to give.

MyNameIsAngelicaSchuyler · 21/08/2022 11:32

I recommend reading her autobiography. She’s super strong and really inspiring.

we have two grand slam champions because of her. British tennis didn’t support her AT ALL until the boys starting winning, she did it all alone and at one point was right down to her last £.

don’t take on Judy unless you are prepared to lose 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. I’m so glad she’s on the side of the light.

KatVonlabonk · 21/08/2022 11:34

I hope the press notice the TRA attack on her. I can see the headlines now.....

You would think they'd have learned by now.....

Thank you Judy, for speaking up.

Thanks, Judy.

Just in case anyone wasn't aware, and to counter some of the more unhinged posts on Twitter - Judy does wonderful work promoting grassroots tennis all across Scotland, and has done so for many years:

She's fabulous ⭐️

Also speaks eloquently about how she is/was labelled as a "pushy mum" whilst no one blinks at Dads who coach their kids

Thank you Judy!

Thank you Judy, for speaking up.

I've concluded that most of these people aren't interested in furthering the rights of anybody, not even themselves. They just want to stick it to women. Calling them names on Twitter, while hunched over a laptop in their pyjamas, is the easiest way to do it.

Judy Murray has encountered rank sexism over and over. This new take won't exactly be novel. What it might do, though, is get more and more of it into the public eye, and onto the front pages. The Murrays are national treasures. And very tough. And this sort desperate reaction will only strengthen her resolve.

If Judy does get to read this, thank you so much. Just because you're used to misogynistic tossers, it doesn't mean you want to encourage a pile on from them.

It's very brave. And, just know, that this side of history is getting increasingly more crowded.
