For Women Scotland Sport

For Women Scotland Sport is an advocacy group for female sports working to ensure a fair and safe playing field for women and girls.

[For Women Scotland Sport @FWSSport]

For Women Scotland Sport is a new group which will advocate for the rights of women and girls to fair and safe sport in Scotland. We look forward to working with other advocacy groups for female sport across the globe in campaigning for those rights.

Every MP who signed the EDM should watch this and explain why this man should be in women's spaces.

My charity raises funds for girls' toilets to be built in developing countries so girls can go to school for 4 weeks of the month instead of 3. This isn't rocket science. Why are girls in the UK not allowed as much dignity and privacy?

We have eyes. We all see it.

@SportSEENuk High time all sports recognised fairness and safety in the female category. We have been in discussions with the R&A and Scottish Golf for over a year and are now awaiting their responses to our latest following the issue of the draft Code of Practice.

On the 28th May 2026, Bharti Fulmali appeared for India in their T20 win over England in Chelmsford.

In women’s cricket.

We need cheap, easily-available sex screening, pronto.

Hey @TomSteyer, my mother has also loved sports her entire life, except she didn’t get to play sports in high school because her school didn’t have any women’s teams. She’s only a few years older than you & was in college when Title IX passed. She became the captain of the first women’s tennis team at her university.

My mom grew up watching her five brothers be celebrated for their athleticism. Meanwhile, she had no teams available to her. My mom is a naturally gifted athlete, but girls were expected to sit on the sidelines, cheer for boys, and never imagine themselves on the field.

Then, after Title IX passed, everything changed. Her university formed a women’s tennis team. She tried out, made the team, and became team captain. That opportunity, delayed for years, shaped her life. It gave her confidence, leadership, friendships, pride, and a sense of belonging that had been denied to her simply because she was female.

For millennia, women were kept out of public life, out of education, out of professions, out of the law, out of the vote, and yes, out of athletics, all on the basis of SEX, not gender.

And now we are told by you, Tom Steyer, to pretend that sex is irrelevant. That male bodies pumped have no advantage. That girls should just accept losing medals, titles, records, scholarships, and privacy. That after centuries of struggle, suddenly the category “woman” is opt-in for any boy who wants in.

But having inherited those rights from my mother and grandmothers who fought hard for them, I cannot and will not sit back and let you destroy them hard earned rights for future generations of girls.

‘Sex, Gender Identity and Sport’ by the fabulous @cathydevine56

Cathy has been at the forefront of the fight for fair and safe sport for women and this will be an invaluable resource.

[Cathy Devine @cathydevine56]

I am delighted to announce that 'Sex, Gender Identity and Sport', is published today by Routledge and now available for order. It's edited by me, and an academic text so a bit on the pricey side, but use Code 26AFLY1 for a 20% discount.

@Stevemanics @KPCoach1 @SadButMadLad @Whiterosehip01 @KirstieMAllsopp @marksandspencer Actually they do if the presence of a male whilst women may be in a state of undress makes wome uncomfortable. That is indirect discrimination.

This is a small update, and I like it. I think you can almost hear the sighs of exasperation from Lausanne in this part: ...

Look at her.

[For Women Scotland Sport @FWSSport]

@SportingNest Yes it does but many world governing bodies and the IOC are also now acting to ensure that women’s sport is protected.

[For Women Scotland Sport @FWSSport]

This should hopefully now ensure that all sports organisations understand that you cannot include people of the opposite sex in single sex sport. When you do the sport is not longer single sex but mixed sex.

With the EHRC guidance published, the way I see it is that parkrun has two options.

- Remove all the results and records and stop timing people, and be the fun run it claims to be.
- Reinstate fairness in the female category. Only females allowed, no males.

[Zachary Elliott @zaelefty]

Even when height and weight are matched between male and female athletes, the male will outperform the female.

The reason for this is due to musculoskeletal advantages caused by sex.

Listen as I discuss the incredible data. Interview with @Outspoken_Sam.

I just had a very interesting conversation with a man who used to coach girls’ basketball. He stopped coaching because he had a female player who was 6’1, and the league decided to limit her playing time because her height made it “unfair” for the other team. He said the final straw was when one of the other teams showed up with a crossdressing boy in tow, and the boy’s playing time wasn’t limited. At the end of our conversation, he thanked me for speaking up for women. All of the decent men are on our side.

[For Women Scotland Sport @FWSSport]

This is true the world over. People just need the courage and support to speak out.

[Marie Hurabiell for Congress @MHurabiell]

Two-thirds of Democrats do not want men in women's sports. I represent the majority - not the radical minority who refuses to consider third-order consequences

This issue is going to keep costing Democrats elections until our party wakes up to reality!

This ET decision is quite widely misunderstood, so let's try and clear it up. Short 🧵
