Bethany Hamilton was allegedly dropped over threatening to boycott a competition which allowed men to compete with women.

Thank you for this update.

They are listening at least. Maybe they will think twice about what ‘inclusiveness’ means when they highlight a male in female sports. Inclusiveness for that particular male surfer means surfing in the male category and being fully accepted and welcomed. It was never inclusive to include a male in any female sports category despite what heavily invested lobby groups want the world to believe.

What a great role model and brand ambassador they have in Bethany.
I'd never heard about her until this came out in the press.
Idiots.

Had. They dropped her for saying men don't belong in women's sports

Well more fool them then, hopefully billabong or another brand will snap her up.

Just seen on Twitter that Bethany is giving a talk with Riley Gaines. A protester wrapped in the trans flag is clutching a large stuffed shark toy. These people have no self-awareness and empathy, nor do they have any PR skills.

Here.

What lovely people

Not a sports specialist, I'd suspect.

Literally, wtf is wrong with that person? A stuffed shark...words fail me. And as always, hiding their face. I hope someone went and had a very strong word with them.

Not even got the balls to show their face.

Shameful.

Lol they apologised and then –

Not a fresh air fiend either, I'm thinking.

An expert in fuckwittery.

Odd behaviour from people who claim to be 'on the right side of history'.

Taking a shark stuffed toy to a talk being given by someone who nearly died after a shark attack is inhumane and disgusting.

Yes but the menz feelings are more important than the womenz.
I'd have refused the twat entry if they didn't remove their mask. Coward.

Bethany not only survived but thrived and got back into the water. Baby with shark would probably wither at being accurately sexed or, heaven forfend, misgendered 😲

He’s maybe gonna need a bigger frock…
