Trans-identifying male Glen/Glenique Frank ran yesterday’s London Marathon in the Female category. This is in violation of UK Athletics rules of 31 March 2023, banning all post-puberty males from the Female category in licensed events.

Stop telling lies, Tom. No trans people are told they can’t compete - they are v welcome in sport in the correct category, same as everyone else. You clearly don’t think your fellow athletes, who are female, deserve fair & safe competition. Shameful.

A parkrun female age group course record was smashed to smithereens by a trans-identifying male on Saturday, probably now out of female hands forever. The previous holder appears to be a local legend. Parkrun’s “inclusion” means exclusion of females & erasure of F achievements.

On Friday while preparing to commentate in Birmingham, a woman I’d never met recognised me. She came over & whispered “Thank you for all you are doing for women’s sport”. I don’t know who she is nor her name, but want to say thank you! 🙏❤️ #savewomenssports #sexnotgender

Until recently, one of the female parkrun age group records held by a male was FASTER than the male record in the same age gp at the same parkrun. This is the level of piss-taking by men who say they are women that women have suffered. I hope people understand why we are angry.

Yesterday at least four males ran in the Female category at parkrun. One finished 1st Female, beat all the men in his age group easily, and was top of the age grade rankings, bumping all men & women down. Another TIM, interestingly, began parkrun in the Female category,…

On over 130 separate occasions, the “1st Female” achievement at parkrun has gone to a man who says he’s a woman. Every sports body and event, including parkrun, needs to get men out of the female category. The achievements of females MATTER. #SaveWomensSports

Did you know that over 130 first place females recorded in the weekly results are actually biological men? It makes a mockery of the results and any sense of achievement felt by female parkrunners. @parkrunUK when are you going to realise that this needs addressing?

parkrun have banned a female runner called “No To Unfair Self ID”, erasing her record & 1st Female finish. But any bloke calling himself Jane or Emily can register as ‘female’ even if a false name & take female records. Makes perfect sense, if you discriminate against females.

So @parkrunUK have actually deleted the 4th place result, removed her from the first female finisher list and erased her age category record - wow! But it’s totally fine that a male convicted of attempted murder is allowed to stay as the female record holder @tomwilliams1974

Included in the package of briefs is this statement from Hannah Arensman. The latest @UCI_cycling rules brought in under the presidency of @DLappartient ignored the concerns of @women_cpa and provide this is “meaningful sport” for female athletes. It’s neither fair or meaningful.

Very clear.👇Female athletes oppose men in the female category but are terrified of speaking up. No surprise, given all the intimidation, bullying & silencing females who speak up suffer. It’s time more found the courage to defend fairness for females.
