Obscured, in this case by being older, out of shape, and not very good. Perhaps Roger thinks we should have a category for elite women and middle aged or veteran males who have to compete with a hangover? That will be entertaining and in no way ...

Can only assume Roger gets some sort of vicarious thrill from being demolished by @FondOfBeetles and other brilliant women. This reads like goading & trolling for attention and is not adding to the conversation. https://t.co/mDNTNi...

This @NHSGGC guidance links to discredited school guidance from LGBT Youth which @WG_Scotland found breached the human rights of girls & which Ministers have said is "was not legal." We trust this is a mistake & they will rectify. ...

But men can tell Canadian women that they must let males access their rape shelters, their prisons, their sports. And if the women object, they face abuse and loss of funding. This is deeply hypocritical from one who has destroyed women's safeguards ...

Not sure how "increasing participation" is to be achieved if mediocre men are allowed to usurp elite women. It is, if anything, even more of an issue at grassroots level or for scholarships. Hubbard didn't have to win to deprive a woman of her place. ...

RT @FondOfBeetles: Because from what I’ve just watched, Hubbard is not just old, but has terrible technique and terrible strategy. Which makes male advantage an even more obvious factor in qualification? https://t.co/pBFqy6...

No, that isn't what was proven at all. It proved some elite women in their 20s can beat 43 yr old average males recovering from injury. Weightlifting would be full of middle-aged women if Andrew were right. It also proved a male can still displace a ...

Terrible slurs in this document against FPFW. Glaad and others need to learn to argue their case using evidence not lie about people who do! Hope other journalists are equally discerning. https://t.co/KvseAy...

Dear @thetimes, people with Klinefelters are male. They are not "Non Binary". The suggestion is offensive and also involves the imposition of current political ideology which is ahistorical and ignorant. https://t.co/4aNkjC...

Not reluctant enough to take a woman's place nor, potentially, deprive one of a medal. If #LaurelHubbard fails to win, it will be seen as "proof" trans athletes have no advantage. This is nonsense. No 43 yr old woman who recently broke an arm would ...
