I am a Jew from Ireland.
To see the national football team behave so disgracefully in tonight’s match against Israel, saddens me.
Disrespecting the Israeli anthem. Refusing to even shake hands with the Israeli players.
Ireland has become a shadow of its former self.

Why does this man think his needs/feelings supersede all women’s rights I wonder?

Just ask yourself why has it become so hard to simply ask for a category called women to be for ….women?
Asking for a female parkrun category that doesn't include men isn't transphobic and it isn't trying to make parkrun more competitive. It's just asking for fairness in a results category that already exists. Why would anybody want to argue against that? #RealityRulesRunnersUK

This male who smashes it every Sat in F cat in parkrun, now on 110+ 1st F finishes & several F records today ran in the non-binary category in the Vitality 10km. So why on earth can’t he run in one of the THREE parkrun categories other than F cat? Bc parkrun allows it.🤬🤬🤬
I've just seen that the man who recently finished ahead of me in the female category at parkrun was seemingly quite happy to run in the non-binary category at today's Vitality London 10,000m. So why can't he be happy in the "Other" or "PNTS" categories at parkrun?

It's interesting that @LDNMEvents who run this event seem to share parkrun's view that providing ranked results allowing people to compare themselves is in no way competitive. I guess that's their way of saying they'd also be happy with men participating in the female category 🤷♀️

Mmm this is interesting.👇
So the thousands of mass event runners were NOT running in a competition and none of their results will go on Power of 10. Is that correct @BritAthletics & @EnglandAthletic?

The Windsor Women’s 10km was yesterday. Several of the UK-based men who run in F cat have run in women-only events so I had a look at the results.
The results page has this. 👇 🤯Honestly gender ideology rots organisations from the inside. #sexnotgender

Oh my goodness me.
There is cringe then there is Emily Thornberry draped in the homophobic flag.
I would say we will all look back in horror at this but medically sterilising proto-LGB people is now policy and I can't see it being reversed. Well done LGBTetc windbags. Well done.

Same as UK Athletics and England Athletics allowing male ‘Susie’ O’Connor to break their rules a week ago. They know full well that he is male bc he was DQed in 2024 and is featured in a fawning video on the UKA youtube channel. But men must get what they want, eh.
This is beyond unacceptable.
Despite a 2025 rule change barring males from women's sanctioned events, USA cycling continues to allow men in the women's category.
Male cyclist James Olson Tait aka "Amanda" competed in the "women's" Pro/1/2/3 category at the New Haven Grand Prix just yesterday, placing 6th.
After Tait entered the Philadelphia Cycling Classic in direct violation of UCI rules, it has been publicly reported that Tait is male and has not only been violating USA cycling's rules in entering over 50 women's races despite being explicitly banned, but international rules as well.
This is not the case of a male slipping under the radar. He is very publicly known to be male and is blatantly violating the rules.
@usacycling has absolutely NO EXCUSE for allowing this to continue.

After learning that an anonymous complainant had succeeded in getting my choir dropped from this year’s London Marathon over allegations of both homophobia and transphobia, @Charlotty sent me this video of our soundcheck at the Great Manchester Run.
Here we are, spreading hate by singing an ABBA song. 💃🕺
So much blatant homophobia. Right there.
I am clearly a Dangerous Woman.

Fear & anxiety about receiving abuse or being approached by angry men at @parkrunUK is a real barrier to women and men joining #RealityRulesRunnersUK.
I wonder whether @VeganRunnersUK and their club members face with similar behaviour from non-vegans?
#Parkrun
If so many people dislike parkrun's gender categories, why haven't thousands signed up to @RRRunnersUK already? Why aren't people talking about it at every parkrun?
🤔 Maybe because lots of people are worried about being on the receiving end of some disproportionate hatred 👇

And people still complain that women athletes should speak up…hello??????
A nationally ranked female masters’ swimmer lost to a male.
When she complained, she was told she was engaging in “unsportsmanlike conduct” and faced a lifetime ban.
We are SO done with this. Women deserve FAIR sport.

The fix is in. We see you @Cambridge_Uni
Cambridge is no longer planning to investigate Jason Arday’s academic record or the university’s decision to hire or cover for him.
Instead, the investigation will focus on “his welfare, his care, his well-being” and “whether the school offered him sufficient support amid accusations that he plagiarized.”

Found it!!! In a crowded field, this is worst ‘argument’ I’ve ever seen for straight women not wanting to sleep with bisexual men. Although credit to Adam, I find his Owen Jones-lite takes enormously entertaining 😂
Can't wait to divorce my wife if she gets cancer because its my preference not to be in a relationship with a disabled person and trying to guilt me is coercive
