We stand with Lynne Pinches. No men in @ultimatepool_
Lynne & WRN thrown out of the tournament. Lynne had already been thrown out before we had arrived with our #SaveWomensSports banner.
Lynne thrown out for no reason. WRN for opening banner.
@sharrond62 Yesterday, we saw two men in a ladies @ultimatepool_ final. Today, the English blackball pool federation goes to court to defend their decision to keep men out of women's sport. This is a landmark case that will have widespread effects beyond cuesports. The fight continues
‘Be kind’ to men pretending to be women (who are not) cheating in sport, stealing women’s places, awards & prize money … & **** the women - who needs to ‘Be kind’ to them? I just can’t understand how any sane person goes along with this!! 🤬 reality matters! Categories are for vital fairness.
After @PinchesLynne was thrown out of the competition some brave women stood up for women-only in a Women’s competition.
Shame on you @ultimatepool_#ExpectUs everywhere you allow men to invade women’s sports.
Until the last few years I’d never really thought of myself as an outspoken feminist. But the relentless attacks on female rights across the world is exhausting & damaging. We must push back. As a mum of a daughter & now a grandma of a grand daughter I can’t not. Decades of previous generations fought for sex discrimination laws, which mean zero if anyone can now identify their way into another sex - when in reality no human being can change their biological sex. Today in Iran & Afghanistan women are basically modern day slaves with the international community doing practically nothing to stop it. We are going backwards…
@sharrond62 this person needs a head wobble if they think this is OK... they are lucky the horse didn't kick off, it would have been instant karma in my opinion!
@s_drakesy@laura_woodsy@Baronessjenkin Women in my sport have started to refuse to compete, and the governing body are giving then fines for doing so!! When will this madness stop!!
@sharrond62 The insanity is real... sometimes standing alone can be isolating, but I'd rather stand alone than be complicit in a world where men can compete in women's sport
This is the man, "Valentina" Petrillo, who is going to compete in the Paralympics as a female. He is a 51 year old male. Taking the place of a young disabled athlete. #PetrilloOut Make it trend.
This is a biological male fighting a female & absolutely everyone can see it, they have also failed gender screening, twice & have XY chromosomes. There is no ambiguity that the IOC do not care if a female gets seriously hurt. Or worse. I’m astonished at the weakness of the media
Nicole had more integrity & skill in her little finger. You are a traitor to female fighters the world over. Biology isn’t a matter of choice. These boxers are XY & the fact you don’t care a female boxer could get seriously hurt - not to mention fair sporting opportunities compared to males, is extraordinarily ignorant, males already get so much more, but this shows you for who you are as does your personal attack. Name calling reveals the weakness of your argument & exposes your poor character & lack of boxing knowledge for all to see.
In Pool 🎱.Currently; Our Women's National Singles Champion is a Man. Our Women's Champion of Champions is a Man. Our Women's European Champion is a Man. Our Women's Masters Champion is a Man. Our Women's World Champions team contains a Man. Let that sink in @sharrond62@Glinner
I’m speaking at the UN tomorrow. I’ll be using my personal experience of 50yrs in elite sport & the terrible GDR era, to show females deserve their own category of sport, free from any males, to offer equality of opportunity to 51% of this world’s population. We ARE as worthy..
