Oh @Keir_Starmer, please, please stop waffling and equivocating. While apologies (to @RosieDuffield1 & many others would help) let’s just start with clear answers.

This IOC study is such bad science. It compared unfit Transwomen (45 vo2max) to fit females (54 vo2max) It's akin to putting D1 female runners against Joe the jogger in a mile, watching Joe get smoked and declaring "Women are faster then men!" We need good science, not junk:
I hadn't realised this news had reached the press. I think @RosieDuffield1 will agree with me that using the word 'troll' to describe men who make explicit death threats against women minimises both the offence and the effect on the recipients. thesun.co.uk/news/27571489/…

I think, #OTD 30 April 1988 was the big Stop the Clause march from the Imperial War Museum to Victoria Embankment. I went down on the Oxford bus with, IIRC @StephenTwigg @Keir_Starmer @kevin_ovenden and many others. Turns out @JoPhoenix1 was on the same march. Were you?

Having experienced the trauma of a stalker who had to be shut down by legal means, and having received my own death threats, I stand 100% with @jk_rowling. A 'troll' does not threaten to kill a woman with 'a big hammer'. A criminal does. And criminals need to be arrested.

Men are so good at women's gravel racing that there were TWO on the women's pro elite podium at the Gorge Gravel Grinder in Oregon yesterday! 🥈Chloë Spritz (Cole Sprague) 🥉Claire (Ivan) Law They would have placed last and second to last in the men's pro elite category.

Assuming you have actually read it, you will realise that it is *extremely* weird to vote against accepting the recommendations of the Cass report, and pretty weird to have a vote on it at all. I take it that MS's votes will be public and noted?
The seminar tomorrow with Phillip Stokoe is sold out, and of a size that is just about manageable online. Registrants: you will have an email with the link. Thanks for the enormous response! We will, as usual, be recording the seminar and posting it to our YouTube account.

It's similar to single-sex spaces - they are policed by social norms (which also of course makes it easier to identify the bad actors).
@bar_jen @mara_yamauchi @charlesarthur @richard_patient @cathydevine56 @DerryBanShee @SexMattersOrg @FondOfBeetles @runthinkwrite @legalfeminist Jon P describes it as re-establishing the social norm. People will, obvs, cheat from time to time. But it will be cheating and a breaking of the social norm too. And so, as you suggest, self-policing to a degree.
@mara_yamauchi @charlesarthur @richard_patient @cathydevine56 @DerryBanShee @SexMattersOrg @FondOfBeetles @runthinkwrite @legalfeminist You could say the same about the age categories, and indeed about the registration by sex for any amateur event. Generally these things are self-policing as most people don't cheat and those that do tend to get called out by fellow participants.
@bar_jen @charlesarthur @richard_patient @cathydevine56 @DerryBanShee @SexMattersOrg @FondOfBeetles @runthinkwrite @legalfeminist Yes exactly. It would self-police, for the most part, if the norm were re-established that males in F cat is unacceptable. But parkrun policy encourages males in F cat so it is a free-for-all & previous norm has gone.

Good to see @UsdawUnion taking a very clear position on single-sex provisions and clarity of language re sex and gender. Speaker also makes strong case for importance of discussion and debate.
Delivered my proposition yesterday in support of Single Sex Provisions and clear language around sex and gender at #USDAW24 Annual Delegate Meeting for @UsdawUnion It raised good debate and was carried by vote of 60.5%

Good thread. 👇
This IOC study is such bad science. It compared unfit Transwomen (45 vo2max) to fit females (54 vo2max) It's akin to putting D1 female runners against Joe the jogger in a mile, watching Joe get smoked and declaring "Women are faster then men!" We need good science, not junk:
I find this pretty unimpressive and it’s an account which is, shall we say, challenging to reconcile with the evidence. The fact is Starmer has all but blanked Rosie and studiously avoided discussing this or taking her vindicated concerns seriously. Lying your way out of things…
'Do you owe her an apology?' @susannareid100 questions Sir @Keir_Starmer about his previous comments when he said MP Rosie Duffield was wrong to say that only women have a cervix.
@Frances_Coppola @richard_patient @mara_yamauchi The @parkrunUK team enforce deletion of certain names and ask for proof of ID when they want to
Blah, blah, blah. Love a good slogan - except when used by politician as substitute for any kind of critical thinking & to whip up prejudice against advocates of sex-based protections. That's illiberal dogmatic ideology not rational democratic politics.
Oh @Keir_Starmer, please, please stop waffling and equivocating. While apologies (to @RosieDuffield1 & many others would help) let’s just start with clear answers.
Male politicians who chose to pander to activists issuing violent threats against their own female MPs enabled and emboldened the toxic culture @Keir_Starmer now claims to deplore. When you're part of the cause, you've got some brass neck putting yourself forward as a cure.
Analysis from @WingsScotland misses one important point no one seems to be talking about. There are around 9 SNP MSP rebels who are prepared to defy the whip on gender and possibly other issues. How Swinney chooses to deal with them will be something to watch closely. Will…
@jk_rowling @UdaBaker @Keir_Starmer I used to respect Keir. He represented Emma Humphreys in a case against her original legal team, and was a great help when DPP during my investigation on FGM in the UK. But his cowardice and lack of moral fibre on this issue disgusts me.
@UdaBaker @Keir_Starmer One lousy apology and he'd have bought a lot of women's good will, but evidently the mob must still be appeased.
Male politicians who chose to pander to activists issuing violent threats against their own female MPs enabled and emboldened the toxic culture @Keir_Starmer now claims to deplore. When you're part of the cause, you've got some brass neck putting yourself forward as a cure.
'Do you owe her an apology?' @susannareid100 questions Sir @Keir_Starmer about his previous comments when he said MP Rosie Duffield was wrong to say that only women have a cervix.
As it becomes more and more clear that in backing metaphysical 'gender identity' over biology , Labour has been complicit in much damage to women, girls, some of their own MPs. Trust has been destroyed. A simple apology would not be enough but a start..
