@from_nook @maureen62985364 @parkrunUK But people (mostly those who didn't run the event) were bothered about the trans woman I knew who had consistently had lower testosterone than me for far longer than I'd been alive, even though she regularly came close to last. Bizarre. [2/2]

[Oli @olixvx]

@from_nook @maureen62985364 @parkrunUK Exactly. I'm a trans guy and before I came out, I regularly came top 3 in the women's cat and pretty high up overall. I naturally had really elevated testosterone lvls that had been present since puberty and my performance benefitted. Nobody seemed bothered about that. [1/2]

@WilsonCodling @maureen62985364 @parkrunUK Seems they don't always chat. Parkrun data over 18yrs shows Katie has run this event 387 times and Maureen 7 times. 6 times Maureen ran were on dates Katie didn't. Katie has done 13 runs at other locations, 6 UK (mostly locations Maureen has never participated) and 7 Australia.

@wessex_girlie @maureen62985364 @parkrunUK Tbf, as a former dedicated runner (before injury), 40min isn't bad for VW75-79. It's age grading over 60% which puts them at local club comp lvl.

That said, there were 3 in the cat and it's Parkrun, not a race. By default, they hide categories and show position (was pos 761).

@Nocaster515151 @maureen62985364 @parkrunUK I checked and Maureen has only ran this event on the same day as Katie once. All of the other dates she's ran at this location were on days Katie didn't run.

[Oli @olixvx]

@maureen62985364 @parkrunUK You say Katie always chats to you after. However, you have done this event 7 times in 18yrs. Only 1 time - 07/02/26 - was a day that Katie ran. However, Katie has ran it 387 times in 18yrs, with 6 at other UK locations (mostly locations you have never participated), and 7 in Aus.

@ZiaYusufUK Would you say that describing someone as a communist, socialist, anarchist, liberalist etc. are also considered name-calling?

Just as much as calling someone a lunatic?

@SBarrettBar From Apr 24-Mar 25, there were 3460 hospital cases in Eng & Wales from assault with a sharp object. The population is 69.5m, leaving a 0.004% chance of being assaulted with a sharp object in 12mths. Also, most cases of violent crime are perpetrated by someone the victim knows.

@cRazyFlucker @TRobinsonNewEra @NickTenconi Really?

@mblobby @TRobinsonNewEra @NickTenconi We didn't 🖤🤍

@wtfnub @DavidSi27016985 @stevecockburn @NewcastleUnites @AntiRacismDay At the Side, NE antifascist, Newcastle PSC, Northumbria IWW and Youth Equality Coalition as well as other groups were kettled and chanting in opposition of Labour for a pretty lengthy period of time. Labour is losing support rapidly due to their increasingly right wing views.

[Oli @olixvx]

@wtfnub @DavidSi27016985 @stevecockburn @NewcastleUnites @AntiRacismDay Many left wingers who turn up to protests like this dislike Labour just as much as you as they're no longer left wing in the slightest. I made my way around several of the protests in Newcastle and heard a fair few chants against Labour.

[Oli @olixvx]

@simonpe22529766 @liamtuffs1 A small group meeting up in a quiet area before or after is not representative of the actual turnout to the numerous protests across Newcastle.

[Oli @olixvx]

@jellybabyyy @liamtuffs1 I can see that if it was before 12 or after about 3ish. Between those times there were certainly more than 10 people at Monument as well as the people at the Side and by the Laing Art Gallery.

@wtfnub @DavidSi27016985 @stevecockburn @NewcastleUnites @AntiRacismDay The placards are produced by SUTR who are affiliated with the Socialist Worker Party, not Labour. They are handed out at the beginning of an event and then returned.

The event was organised by various local groups including Newcastle Unites and NE Antifascists.

@tgers I'm literally stood next to a bunch of geordies. Admittedly, I've only lived here a measly 14 years though.

[Oli @olixvx]

@bobdishy @TheGriftReport That's a different organisation altogether. SARI are a charity based in Bristol whereas SUTR are based in London and are not a registered company.

[Oli @olixvx]

@GPeddles @northumbriapol They watched this happen despite an officer assuring me that they would handle things. I also reported an incident shortly after where I was in a nearby shop and the owner declared it was "not for tr**nies". The police officer's response was simply "well, that's not very nice".

@alimac014 @NotGivingUp_hmm @StandingforXX @LWSLocals Repeatedly taking the microphone away in the middle of her speaking was not giving her a chance. The counter protestors had to keep calling out to let women speak as she was ironically cut off from speaking numerous times. This appears to go directly against the LWS website.
