@hall_ej @HannahG91346056 @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport …could fight for each other rather than against. Anyway, thanks for an eventual rational conversation.

@hall_ej @HannahG91346056 @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport …that her male license hasn’t expired. That is pathetic and smacks of discrimination. Just like you didn’t choose to be born a woman, Emily didn’t choose to be dyspeptic but you both have to fight for your rights everyday and that’s not fair. It works be good to think you…

@hall_ej @HannahG91346056 @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport In Matt’s vlog. It offers a different perspective and, while anecdotal, sounds accurate. Besides which, the numbers of trans women waiting to compete would be miniscule they deserve to compete as much as you and I and BC’s rationale for banning Emily was that her male …

@hall_ej @HannahG91346056 @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport …who attack trans people are bigoted and bitter because they’re scared of them. You may be different but your interpretation of my language was your choice, not mine. For balance, listen to the conversation between Matt Stephens and Pippa York on transitioning and sport…

@hall_ej @HannahG91346056 @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport That’s a bit more considered, thank you. I’m fully supportive of every effort to ensure women are able to be whatever they want to be, no questions asked, but that includes trans women also being allowed freedoms. I’d explain my choice of words by saying that most people…

@HannahG91346056 @hall_ej @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport I’m a teacher who tries to open young minds to equality. But it seems like whatever I say will just continue to pushing me as a misogynist in the minds of some, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Actually engage me in conversation rather than assuming that because…

@HannahG91346056 @hall_ej @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport Of course I have white male privilege but I’m aware of it and do my best to mitigate it. I’m just fed up with having my opinion thrown back at me because you disagree and can easy blame it on me being a bloke. You’re practicing what you’re condemning by shushing me!!

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@HannahG91346056 @hall_ej @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport Nope. Not in the slightest. Again, if you actually knew me…
So please stop projecting. I’ve long been an advocate of women’s sport. I’ve coached it for 20 years. I work for my wife. I have 2 wonderful daughters who are defined by their personalities not their genders.

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@hall_ej @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport What makes you think I’m not interested? Why so vitriolic? Why do you think I couldn’t be convinced otherwise? Surely the fact that I engaged with the OP with a constructive comment suggests I’m interested!!! Your manner saddens me!

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@hall_ej @cyclingweekly @BritishCycling Show me the proof that it’s unfair. Not the opinions, but the peer-reviewed research that says it’s unfair.

@cyclingweekly Great victory and well deserved. Sad only that he’s representing a filthy country in Bahrain.

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@CUttrupLudwig Good looking kit!

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@jakey_stewart Sorry the assholes have beaten you down, @jakey_stewart. Concentrate on what’s important (twitter’s not). Good luck with the season.

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@BikeBusShaw Outstanding!

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@TheGreenParty @CarolineLucas Priti Patel should have gone long before this, over the bullying incident, but the Tories have proven time and again that they don’t care. They’ll going onto power until we finally prise their corrupt, corporate paws off it.

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@cyclingweekly Again all the hate for Jake! Why can’t he express an opinion? Just because you disagree doesn’t mean you have to be nasty to the lad!

[Grvpetto @grvpetto]

@jakey_stewart @jakey_stewart while I don’t completely agree with your point, I certainly don’t endorse the nastiness in the comments by many who disagree. I just don’t get why people think it’s OK to be foul to others just because it’s social media. I apologise on their behalf.
