@VictoriaPeckham merry festive season. Another well reasoned article today. I’d stand with those ladies, not because I want to be a goat(which I do) I’d do it because they speak the truth and science backs it up. My wish for 2022 is that more people find their inner goat. X

@fairplaywomen @sharrond62 the new guidelines are a step in the right direction, they say that sex matters in certain contexts and what’s the matter with that, not only can you see it with your own eyes but the science so backs it up.it will be interesting

@markaustintv @GaryLineker please educate me, why do a group of men who already own 3/4 of the world need to have our 1/4? Why take away the essence of sport, the things that make it so compelling to the masses ,by gaming it so they always win. Maybe I’m just an old romantic

To see what the individual sports do as so many seemed before this guidance, to want inclusion before fairness(completely against sport’s integrity) which could leave 51% of their constituents with no sporting chance of winning. Perhaps we will now get on with finding the other

I’d third it but those 2 goats don’t need any backing up. They know more about woman’s sport and level playing fields than most and that at the very least should make people want to look at/follow the science

With little to no money, no shortcuts, and various hardships at home, Daley trained every single day, (including every Christmas Day!) to be the very best. Against all odds, he became the greatest decathlete in the world and a true legend of British sport. At one point, he held the British, Commonwealth, European, and World Records simultaneously. Daley went on to win two gold medals at the '80 and '84 Olympic Games, competing at the very highest level of sport for over a decade...

From a council house in Notting Hill to Olympic glory.
Daley's start in life wasn’t easy – his father was in and out of prison, and his mother worked 16-hour days just to put food on the table. While at boarding school, he found out that his father had been murdered on the streets of London. At 16, he was entered into a decathlon by his coach to fill a team vacancy (having never tried 7 of the 10 events before)... and he won. Daley never looked back.

At least with Harper, you know that everything is biased towards trans. @BritishCycling @iocmedia you would expect them to have a duty of care towards their female constituents and fair play. Now at least it’s out in the open and they can no longer control the story
