What I cant get my head around is why threaten women sport. WE as women have worked so hard for years to build what is now our OWN world platform even when men in power was trying to stop us. Pls leave us to keep what's ours we built it ALONE and its gr8
Any person or political party that thinks allowing males in woman’s sport is a good idea cares not one jot about sex discrimination or female rights to equal opportunities. As a woman, or father to girls, please think long & hard where u put your support. We’re going backwards
I was born a woman,loved being a woman competed fairly on the world stage as a woman. Woman have now exploded and moving ahead with success as100% women so why does others want to change that unique window women have built.sorry dear person you dont qualify
We've struggled for years to gain recognition NOW we have it. WE must never let it go...WE deserve all that we have achieved and many mountains seemed unreachable but many women have successfully made it. Unfair change is not in our books. AMEN
@sharrond62
Way to go girlfriend....well said...we've lived in that sporting arena for years by sheer hard work and natural biological body we were born with. Why change that or give way for anything UNFAIRLY shoved or forced upon us women
On this day....won Gold at the Olympic Games in LA 1984 - still the only person, man or woman to win a throwing gold for Great Britain 🇬🇧 36 years ago..... special memories

@FondOfBeetles
My goodness what have we become. Its so sinful that this lady who's worked her real socks off to be kicked out of her 1st olympics in her own womans even because she's born a full 100% woman and not handmade...unrealistically bonkers

played against Leeds 2day oops missed seeing the game but heard he played great. Well done Dion but still love our WOLVES shirt on your back. Just keep giving it your best shot and enjoy. Proud of you
Always women have worked equally hard to achieve recognition in our own right and this should be rubber stamped not brushed aside for any loopholes just because we are now stronger we fight hard and real women PLAY FAIR xx
@youcanthaveshe
Agree we've gone to hell and back to be where we are now on the top of many challenges. Hang tuff all and take no prisoners...its our platform. Women are unique together we are strong. We're here to stay we deserve our space. We've fought hard enough for it

@SandowRs
Hello ALL British athletics javelin throwers. Watching the Euro champs NO sign of YOU Very disappointing. In the 70s/80s we were BIG TIME CG golds European and Olympic Gold, silver &bronze to be proud of..WE need 2 get this sorted NOW. UR OFF THE RADAR. WHY?
Signed way long ago. Of course its not fair play at all. Its hard enough us women fighting for our space now that we've become world beaters in sport. We've earned our space fairly so why try to cheat us out of it.
There comes a time when hard decisions are made. But my nephew is good and playing football is what he needs not a waiting game. Off to Cardiff not a bad move. Chance to shine with a Championship club. Good luck to him. Wolves until we meet again
@SandowRs
Well hello 2024 …big year …40 years on from winning Gold at 1984 LA Olympics….wow , will never forget that feeling it stays with you a lifetime - going to celebrate a lot this year! With special plans ahead 🙏🏾🇬🇧🎉🥇

I hear you ALL and your replies. The Olympics are just around the corner and i'm happy with the success we're having in the European Champs. BUT I feel for all our throwers. Let's FIX this and heads 2gether after Paris. Athletics Field events matters too 😉

Oh trip down memory lane and with my gold medal winning javelin from LA just going through how I prepared b4 my winning throw. Omg I still have the will😂😂😂
This is Laurel Hubbard she transitioned after being a male weightlifter for NZ After 20yrs she came back to lifting but 20yrs after her prime as a trans woman she lifted only 30k less (275k) than her best, twice the next woman in her class. This is muscle memory at work

My twins and I in bed watching Match of the Day screaming at Wolves v Sot. Luckily Wolves WON 👏👏 my 7yr old said mommy that was close. Then said mommy that WOLF on the shirt has ears like Dr Spock, is the wolf from Wolverhampton 😂😂😂Bless him

Oh what a blessed day for me 37 years ago winning my olympic gold medal. That you all for the lovely hearts and messages for sharing this day with me. Watching Tokyo brings a lump to my throat of competing in an Olympics and winning GOLD. Lol 2u all xx
Taken with mum & dad in the 70s living in Midlands, both Windrush, dad 1956 & mum followed (dad has now passed away 🙏🏾). Happy

@Tessasanderson
CBE as our ambassador! ⭐
In 1984 she became the first Black British woman to win an Olympic gold medal. This year Tessa celebrates 40 years since that achievement as we also mark our 40th anniversary. 🎉
👉
Amen to that. So its time for all women born women to stand firm and be counted. Like I said women have worked tirelessly 4 years ALONE breaking down barriers to be accepted on many levels but still achieved. Lets enjoy gracefully and embrace whats theirs🙏
@tessasanderson
Sorry but its not just sport, women have had to fight for everything we have! Elizabeth Fry fought for female prisoners to be housed away from men 200 years ago and in 2022 the government think it's ok to house them with men again if they declare they are women!
Happy 21st Birthday nephew have a wonderful day❤️ where has the time gone it seems like only yesterday kicking a ball as a kid now a future thats bright in football

Ok all you Wolves fans im on the road today working on a big charity swim project cant swim for duff but trying watch this space more later. Keep me posted on our boys😘
Totally agree with Mary and Sharron women have strived hard to create our world platform. Why the hell should we accept men changing their bodies to share our platform. What next will these boys want from us. Pls go build your own house and play fair😊

Agree with 100% and why is it that US women are always getting the half bitten straw. We of those who can are the ones who are the only gender that carries and give child birth to human beings living on this God given world. Respect our space. Even small ones
Thank you all so much for the memories of 35years today on winning gold and still not bettered in UK im having a lovely glass of bubbly to celebrate with hubby and friends HAPPY WINNING DAY TO ME xxx😊😘
Thank you for all of your support - I’m ok! Trapped nerve injury & food poisoning...goodness knows how I got back to shore...had to dig deep for that fighter in me......🤢😂😊

OMG may God have mercy on your soul woman. Why oh why would Kate want to lie about her hubby being hit by this deadly virus. I lost my nephew in May underlying symptoms they call it. It devasted us. Please go and lie down again and sleep for a very long time.
I'm truly heartbroken like so many to hear of the death of HM The Queen Elizabeth. I was honoured to have met the Queen - she's gone to be at peace with the love of her life her beloved hubby Phillip. God Bless her and RIP Queen Elizabeth ll 🙏🏽
