@tommydaf @corry_marie @RTE2fm @the2johnnies @dpdireland A lady presenter wouldn’t say it.

@LuciewithIEnotY @alexdowsett Or ‘person drives into person on a bike’

@jess_do_it_x @CB13931 @ce_dyke1 @sharrond62 This is after centuries of being second class citizens in many cultures. Women are also having to see the word ‘woman/women’ changed in medical language specific to them and only them changed to things like ‘people with a cervix’ and ‘people who menstruate’. It is only women 2/2

[Jessica Lamb 🗞 @Thestonefox]

@jess_do_it_x @CB13931 @ce_dyke1 @sharrond62 To be honest, anyone can be respected if they are respecting other people and not expecting the majority to change for the few. Women are being asked to downgrade their own experiences of competition, and privacy (think toilets) to accommodate males who want to be females. 1/2

[Jessica Lamb 🗞 @Thestonefox]

@BridgefordMark @NoNoNoNoYes5 @sharrond62 In participation sport where there are no prizes and emphasis is on participation, rather than competition, complete inclusion regardless of unfair advantages is fine. But allowing biological males to compete against women in elite sport is not okay.

[Jessica Lamb 🗞 @Thestonefox]

@TheScarletWit11 @Sandyj10men @sharrond62 Of course, if a trans woman became transgender before going through male puberty, there could be a case for them competing in women’s sport. But the best option for maintaining the extremely hard-won integrity of women’s sport is for only biological females to take part.

[Jessica Lamb 🗞 @Thestonefox]

@TheScarletWit11 @Sandyj10men @sharrond62 A trans woman, whether reducing testosterone or not, is still biologically closer to a male than a woman due to having gone through puberty, building the additional strength offered by high testosterone levels. They should therefore only ever compete against males.

@sharrond62 Thank you for this Sharron.

This is what the RSA want's cycling to look like in Ireland, and this is what cycling looks like in the Netherlands. Guess which one is safer?

PPE is no substitute for safe cycling infrastructure.

@Al_Humphreys https://t.co/SO1xZ7GMwE isn’t a travel blog, but it is a blog written by a young father who while posting recipes also tells the stories of his travels, trials and tribulations with a young family. Also on Instagram and always happy to chat.

Wicklow councillors spoke out about the levels of abuse they are victim to, with details of verbal, physical and written abuse shared.

Big barrier to attracting new people into the career.

He’s given so much to Wicklow as founder of Coolboy Rangers, now, paralysed, his family are asking for help to get him home.

A poignant story of family rallying to help a man who has always been the one rushing to others aid.
