Some morning for my 200th volunteer! Delighted to share the occasion with these fab ♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️, doing their 200th @parkrunUK 🎉
And had a good chat about my @RRRunnersUK t-shirt with someone who lost her age grade records and is keen to see the 🐘 removed...
@WomensRightsNet
Lapped by the lovely @Raworthontherun at @parkrunUK today - she was 1st ♀️ & I was parkwalker, so fair enough 😜
Speaking of fair, great to see other members of @RRRunnersUK here too & great support from others not in the t-shirts #RealityRulesRunners #SaveWomensSports 💚🤍💜
Brilliant to chat with @Raworthontherun at @WigtownBookFest today. Turns out older women only need HRT, PMA & 🏋♀️ to keep running 💪
Looking forward to her joining us for @parkrun's 22nd birthday tomorrow, coinciding with the official launch of the @RRRunnersUK club 🏃♀️💚🤍💜
What a day to be Saturday! Volunteering at Agnew @parkrunUK, then handing over £500 PYCR charity cash to @LochryanPB1932, before heading to an AmDram 🎭 Legally Blonde 🎀 and out with friends 🥂 Some days are 💎

A lovely morning volunteering at @parkrunUK. Cafe was absolutely packed by the time hubby & I got there so we decamped to @GreggsOfficial with some fellow vollies & runners. Aired my lovely new @RRRunnersUK t-shirt #SaveWomensSport 💚🤍💜
🧵 As a @parkrunUK volunteer, I was told not to wear a #SaveWomensSports t-shirt while volunteering - it doesn't align with their values. I asked them to explain in what way a woman asking for fairness for females in sport DOESN'T align with their values - I've had no response
If you support fair female categories in sport, check this page & join it as your primary parkrun club:
xitter.cf/RRRunnersUK
Thanks 💚🤍💜
One thing's that's plain to see from those who have joined already: it's people who really care about @parkrunUK who are care about it being fair for females. Interesting, that...
Please read our latest Substack and help us get to 1000 club members by 3 October.
If we achieve this together #RealityRulesRunnersUK will debut in the TOP 20 largest #Parkrun clubs!

Great to see enthusiasm for @RRRunnersUK at @parkrunUK - a club member visited Agnew today! Unfortunately, I didn't realise I was in presence of a fellow biological realist until I processed the results, but if you read this, please get in touch! #SaveWomensSport @mara_yamauchi
The first thing he's ever said that I agree with! Albeit he said it grudgingly! But if even the SNP recognise the female category should be protected as the law states, it's about time it was 👌 @parkrunUK
Asking the First Minister today; what action he will take to ensure that community running events inc. Parkrun, operate female categories based on biological sex, as reqd. by the Equality Act, following the Supreme Court Ruling. The grudging response spoke volumes. @sharrond62
Lovely morning of timekeeping and token distribution at a muggy Agnew @parkrunUK First female gave it everything in the sprint finish, but was still behind 3 males, including a 12 year old boy 💁♀️
@mara_yamauchi @sharrond62
Too cold for my #SWS t-shirt at @parkrunUK today - sported my @WomensRightsNet 'Well Behaved Women Never Make History' hoodie instead 💚🤍💜
And then I went to the salon 👕📸
Keep saying no to men in our single sex spaces & categories, girls 💪
@mara_yamauchi @sharrond62
Back from a lovely week in Lanzarote. No @parkrunUK there so we did our own. I was 1st ♀️ - only time I'll ever be but at least I know that result was accurate 😉
The law is officially clarified from today, so let's hope @Sport_England etc get their 🏘 sorted soon 💚🤍💜
An excellent response 👏
I attended a discussion on "Queer in Sport" featuring Noa-Lynn Van Leuven, Alexi De Greef, An Verleysen, Margot Gysbrechts, and Nele Janssens. This is my response to the organizers, in which I gratefully draw on arguments made by @FondOfBeetles and @runthinkwrite.
Well done #Scotland 🏀
Next up, @NetballAust v @EnglandNetball
Team Aus appears to be all-♀️, showing 🇦🇺 knows what a woman is in certain contexts 😕

Thanks to Sally in the Community at @Tesco Stranraer for providing apples for the finishers at Agnew @parkrunUK today, where the first female was delighted when we told her and announced, "Brilliant! I've never been first at anything!" @fairplaywomen #SaveWomensSports 💚🤍💜
Pointing out the inaccuracy of the 'sex data' question and @Sport_England 's failure to insist @parkrunUK collect accurate sex data of participants (contrary to their stated aim of increasing ♀️ participation) were my two main points 👍
It appears @Sport_England is only promoting this call for evidence on @bluesky and so will receive lots of completions from trans activists.
So women's social media, you know what to do.
