@ZoeGarbett
So despite the Cass Review you are all for putting venerable children on irreversible and unevidenced medical pathways? Is that what having their backs means? It sounds like a vote for you is a vote against women and children. No thanks.
@benpartridge
Interesting unbalanced answer to a perfectly valid point as part of your conversation, your language is delightful. But yes, I shall move along now.

You’ve seen the comments, and the ratio, right? This isn’t what Londoners like me want to hear. Especially female Londoners like me. The Greens don’t stand for us or our children.
@ZoeGarbett
It’s unbelievable that crimes committed by men pretending to be women are not recorded as male crimes.
Women are facing harassment from men at many peaceful meetings they have to talk about women’s rights.
Londoners deserve a mayor that knows what a woman is.

His distain for women’s concerns on this is clear. What an awful man. Can he not even let a woman finish a sentence? Listen to her answer? He has daughters. And as someone rightly said before me, no one needs to defend reason. A no is enough.

Why should men be allowed to run in the women’s category? That makes me uncomfortable at a community sporting event. But then that’s okay by you right?

‘They have the right’? …They, seriously? Listen to yourself. Also, when I signed up it was sex not gender. As it should be.
@parkrunUK
I started going to parkrun after a female PE teacher at my daughter’s girls school recommended it. What a joke now. It makes me feel like there is another battle added to our list.
@OkayBiology
Wow
@AvaSantina
you are on the side of men pretending to be women, and committing violent crimes against them? Interesting take. And you are a woman? Kinda hard to believe
@Wrexham_AFC
Seriously? You know this supports men taking part in women’s sports, taking away their medals, achievements and records? It’s only about the TQ+ these days and many LGB don’t want to be associated.

@mara_yamauchi
This is an actual issue women face and one we care deeply about. And parkrun is sport, they publish times, positions and male/female category best times. Women need to fight this on the very level, otherwise this is where we end up
@bbcquestiontime
You just said
@CarolineLucas
that language has consequences yet you say men can be women. They can’t. Your words have consequences against women’s and girls safety.

What are your thoughts on women’s sporting achievements being taken over by men pretending to be women? Or do I just have an earworm?

@roseveniceallan
Yes but sadly some of us, me included, are a bit late to this conversation. I would have done much more investigating at my children’s time at school had I known what was going on. What’s interesting though is that my 15yo son is much less indoctrinated than 18 yo daughter.

@BBCNews
Well done Mara, it’s good they had you on, but they definitely didn’t give you enough time. Unsurprisingly most of the footage was of the men at the front of the RACE.

My daughter has been seen by very good doctors at

over a number of years. She was only there to be seen for her condition. If I saw your lanyard I would ask you to remove it . Thank god she wasn’t treated by you.

I’ve been enjoying time with my family this afternoon whilst you’ve been lurking on my profile. I’ve not yelled at anyone, and in case you weren’t aware it’s generally women who are afraid walking or running on our streets, not men in dresses.

I bet you do, they just haven’t told you. Why won’t you accept there are many women who feel as James has described? His whole point is that many women are too scared to voice their feelings on this.
@burtonlisa
@GBNEWS
What on earth has persuaded so many women that having men satisfy their fetish by involving a baby is okay, in any way at all? It is totally beyond belief. Wake up.
@ThePosieParker
@WeWomen007
Jodie Foster Oscar nominated with Annette Bening (who has trans child) for the film Nyad. Diana Nyad, amazing female swimmer setting records, recently changed views on trans athletes in women’s sports. Coincidental timing? What are these women doing?

@ClareAdamsonSNP
Parents should know everything their children are being taught. What on earth does ‘science and other areas’ mean? They are not the experts.
@miffythegamer
Hey Miffy if you think that I am a vindictive horror as mother because I don’t want this man in my daughter’s safe spaces, then that says more about you than me. And yeah, I know, you weren’t talking to me…
@Hollyoaks
In this storyline you have a man pretending to be a woman, hanging around a vulnerable teenage girl, telling a concerned mother how to look after hef daughter 🚩🚩🚩Take a look yourselves
@Channel4
@ViolaEgalia
My mum’s favourite. Will be interested to hear her thoughts after watching it since our recent conversations, which I have been careful with anyway as she doesn’t totally understand all of this.
@sunshine_livi
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know I am against surrogacy but I’ve not heard a testimony for a child of surrogacy like this. So sorry for that you’ve been through. Sending love to you and your family.

@Gazitude
Jeez, these people invest so much time and energy in trying to persuade themselves and others there is no need for fairness for women’s sport. And before anyone says it…parkrun IS sport. And women deserve fairness.
@HazelAppleyard_
So this. We were talking about this earlier. My daughter cut a lot of hair off as a 4 year old. We laughed, chatted and made it okay. It’s still a favourite memory. Another friend said how they were so cross when their daughter did the same they were just lots of tears.

@UglaStefania
Tha fact that you’re journalist and haven’t even grasped an understanding of what women are asking for is pretty worrying. No one has ask for exclusion. We just want fairness in results. Now the men have also had theirs taken away the results are suddenly important. Says it all.
@RBKgreens
Can you imagine how confused a child would be if you asked them to believe this man was a woman? You are asking them not to believe what their eyes are telling them. Safeguarding 🚩🚩🚩.
@parkrunUK
Mine is that a parkrun discussion group on Facebook blocked me and reported me for transphobia for correctly stating YOUR categories open for selection. Seems you don’t want women to discuss. Nice and inclusive. Thanks
I sincerely hope

@BBCOne
are looking after Amanda right now. Look at what is been by said about her openly here. Imagine what else she has had to face. No obvious sign of support from the BBC.
@AlisonMoyet
It’s worse than a swimming costume. I know I’m getting on a bit but I’ve never worn one like that. I wonder how many US female athletes were consulted on this.
