The point is 100% that IF @parkrunUK was/is non competitive it could do away with categories, records & places. But men in particular, would be up in arms, purely because there IS an element of non elite, but still competition. Whatβs not ok is that IF that element remains females are entitled to fair access to that same service as males. And if Parkrun is given tax payers money via Sport England, in part to grow female participation, they need a metric to measure that. They have non with self ID. Of course I want Parkrun to flourish, grow & carry on, but it canβt have both, half in, half out. It needs to decide. Remove competition, or have it stay & be fair to both sexes. The gaslighting & deflection needs to stop. And those men who seem to not care less for equality of opportunity take stock of facts. Records have returned via the app & places are published online, in categories. Males have over 20 womenβs course records & stolen over 200 first places, bumping down women in their own category every weekend. This does not go both ways! Yet women are supposed to not care about their results? This is sex discrimination. Which is not allowed in Uk law.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
βItβs a strange thing knowing youβre going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had timeβ¦
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesnβt care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
Iβm not writing this to scare you. Iβm writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day youβll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing βstuffβ - more time making memories. Donβt skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You donβt need to have it all figured out. You donβt need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldnβt have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories Iβll hold closeβ¦ forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybeβ¦ weβll meet again someday.β

All trans identifying males and DSD males are very welcome to try and qualify for the Olympics with other males,
However, if youβre not good enoughβ¦ do as you told us women for the last ten yearsβ¦.. train harder!

Italy beat England for the first time in their history. Scotland put 50 on the best French team we've ever seen. Rhys CarrΓ© is the fastest man alive.
The Six Nations is absolutely class.

I gather parkrun arenβt using X anymore. Theyβve posted this on FB.π
Goodness! The finishing order *does* matter? Fairness matters? Parkrunners get pissed off when others get a better result without earning it? I thought anyone who wants fairness is a bigot? Is it allowed now?

βWhat Sandie Peggie has done by withdrawing from the changing room when you were there is opted out of immersive role play. Thatβs why you were angry... That one voice saying youβre a man will break the spell.β

Many sports are still allowing male players who assert that they are women into the womenβs category.
Who will act to ensure fair, safe, male-free sport for women and girls? β¬οΈ

Lots of explaining needed with this sign today.
Most people thought inclusion should be first @parkrunUKβ¦
β¦ until they realised @PSH_A1674 means inclusion of males in the female category is more important than fair results for female parkrunners -
βWhat a disgraceβ
