I recently found that a male who has been running in the F category in parkrun for years recently left the F category. He is still running parkrun, welcome & included. And females get fairness. The claim that if men aren’t allowed in the F category they will leave is a lie.🤔.

Khelif speech cancelled! . Just seen this on Oxford Arab Society’s Instagram story - what a shame!

This is one of the most shocking cases of males destroying women’s sports. Male causes a season-ending knee injury to a female player, whole league collapses, at least FIFTY males playing in women’s football. McAnena is right - it’s time these sports lost all their funding.👎.
Exclusive: At least four teams in a Sheffield women's football league are refusing to play against a club who fielded a transgender player accused of causing a season-ending injury

Good to see Coe defending fairness for females. But I disagree with him that at lower levels, males should be allowed in the Female category. Why does “important for their journey” apply to males, but not to women and girls of ALL levels, ages & abilities who deserve fairness?.
Lord Coe defends trans ban in elite sports.

👇Example of exactly what I described on @andrewdoyle_com’s show. Female who finished 17th excluded from finals bc only 16 spots. And in her last ever NCAA champs. Males’ inclusion in women’s sport means exclusion of females from their own category.

It’s more than 3 months since @BritAthletics banned post-puberty males from the female category in events it licenses. Yesterday a post-puberty male raced in the female category in a UKA-licensed event. How much longer do female runners in the UK have to suffer unfairness? 👎😡.

At parkrun today, a trans-identifying male ran in the Female category, over 10 mins slower than his PB. Nevertheless, he pushed more than 50 actual females down into worse finish positions. Females of all abilities & ages deserve fairness. #savewomenssports.#savewomensparkrun.

A runner who I’ve been told is definitely male holds eight female age group course records across four different parkruns. This person won the female category at a UKA-licensed 10km race two weeks ago. This is all entirely predictable if you allow males in the female category.

…not been corrected? If this runner is female, why would she move to the Male category? The female runner who finished 2nd Female was robbed & had a bad experience. Sex at birth categories would be fair for all & would stop this kind of nonsense. #makeparkrunfairforall.

Man steals Boston place from a woman, steals prize money that should have gone to female runners, is too slow to earn a place fairly for his male sex, makes thousands of female runners participate in his sex fetish, etc. Shame on all the marathon directors who enable these men.
A trans-identified male will be allowed to compete as a "female" in the 2025 Boston Marathon, sparking outrage from female runners. Riya Young Suising, who often wears a "sexy bumble bee" costume to races, has won multiple medals in women's competitions.
