She has been public about her opposition to males in female sports and spaces.
There is a musical about her life and achievements, called Maiden Voyage.
The TRA activists among the cast chose the night she was in the audience to hijack the end of the show with a fundraising appeal for transwomen's inclusion in female sports.

Blokes innit. Entitled beyond. You wouldn’t catch trans men doing similar.

Lol, they couldn't have made her point any clearer.

They really are the lowest of the low. She is a brave woman and I bet none of those TRAs have achieved a fraction of what she has done. Spite and stupidity is a deeply unpleasant combination.

I believe it was a young woman.

I'm hoping they'll be sacked. To choose that night purposefully for that message is awful. What horrible people. Why didn't the stage manager cut them off?

It was indeed a young woman. Just cringeworthy.

Thankyou for drawing my attention to this. She sounds great and I look forward to learning more about her story. Meanwhile, I've made a donation to her charity.

She is great - they are pathetic

That thread has a link to her X - it’s worth taking a look at, she’s great!
