Congratulations to
@parkrunUK
on their 20th anniversary yesterday
Whilst parkrun has channeled the lists of records to its 5k app partner, the unfair results for females remain, along with well over 200 first female finisher achievements by males
We say
#NoToUnfairSelfID
These are the signs
@parkrunUK
don’t want their parkrunners to see… because then they ask what “Save Women’s Sports” means and are shocked it means any M can self ID as F; make F results unfair and hold F records, like male convicted attempted murderer Lauren Jeska

@EnglandNetball
by allowing males to self ID into women’s teams, you are sanctioning sexual and physical abuse

Well done Mara. But sadly several males have self id into the women’s category in other
@parkrunUK
today and pushed females down the rankings and age graded women’s record. CEO Russ Jefferys is still very comfortable with this self id policy
Brace yourselves! I wore my
#savewomenssports
T-shirt again to parkrun today! 😱 Great to see so many of my hometown running buddies.
Lost out in a sprint finish with another female - but that’s fair competition. 👍She was better than me on the day.👏👏

Wow! Huge congratulations to this runner who has been the
@parkrunUK
first finisher, ranked number 1 in the results, a staggering 57 times
But this is nothing compared to the 150+ times a male has been the first FEMALE parkrun finisher

Please share this short film far and wide. Inclusion of males in the women’s category results in exclusion of females from sport. Let’s not allow the next generation of female athletes to be lost from sport

Today we are proud to launch our new video "The Inclusion Delusion".

Transgender inclusion is harming women's sport. Here's all you need to know in less than 6 mins

This is the inclusion we should be working on instead of forcing girls to accept males in their sports
54% of disabled teenage girls believe others judge them when they participate in sport or exercise.
Many disabled teenage girls highlighted that this judgement was solely focused on their impairment and was a significant barrier to sport and exercise.
This needs to change.

Thankyou Mara for standing up for fairness in sport for women and girls and particularly showing the world the unfairness of

self ID, which continues today, even though they are hiding age category and record data

The

HQ have chosen to boost the mental health of males by allowing them to choose the female category
Not a thought for the females whose results and volunteer credits they have erased out of existence or the unfair results they publish

This is what
@parkrunUK
don’t want you to see anymore.
Hiding these records hasn’t hidden that one of the first female finishers at another parkrun today is male.
So females are still losing out because of the unfair self ID policy

This male still holds the overall fastest female and fastest 35 to 39 yr old female records
There are more than 16

So
@BBCSport
ignores the apology they gave me when they called Semenya a female with high testosterone and repeats it for Mboma who has the same condition that only affects MALES
Misleading & inaccurate reporting from the BBC. The World Athletics DSD regs *only* apply to athletes who are male (but legally female). Why is the BBC *still* misleading its audience on this issue?

@StravaSupport
if you can remove e bikes and cars, you must be able to remove males from the female leaderboards or do you think only males deserve fair sport?

Shaking my head in disbelief!
Cara is one of the two male riders local to me, competing on the women's leaderboard and wiping out all fair competition for women.

have blocked me on Twitter for pointing out how unfair this is!
Sick of this nonsense!

One bloke with a beard gave me a big thumbs up and laughingly said “as I identify as a woman, I whole heartedly agree with your message”
