I'm sure these 11 men would be just as happy turning up and running in a parkrun with no published ranked results and with no need to worry about categories. Just as much fun and even more inclusive, right?
At least 11 men ran in the Female category in parkrun UK last Saturday. One got 1st Female. He now has well over 100 1st Female finishes. 3 were top 3 in age category. Between them, these 11 men bumped down >700 females. #makeparkrunfairforall

Sex-based categories 101: 👉biological females register in female category, regardless of identification (e.g. trans, non-binary etc). 👉humans of male sex, regardless of identification, register in the male category 👉inclusive & fair #RealityRulesRunnersUK #SaveWomensSports
Why would trans parkrunners be bothered? This is about males registering as females. Trans men are always welcome of course.

⁉️ Riddle me this #Parkrun & supporters: How does a female-only category make Parkrun ‘less inclusive’? It just provides accurate categories. #JuniorParkrun doesn’t make Parkrun less inclusieve right? #SaveWomensSports #FairFemaleSports #RealityRulesRunnersUK
I can confirm that @wsusportsunion's solicitors have written to @parkrun to point out that they are breaking the law. We do NOT want parkrun to be 'less inclusive', we want fairness for women and for the female category to be protected.

This. These organisations can’t keep ignoring the law or disrespecting female participants. We are just as worthy of fair records & places as men are.

Why are some people pretending to find the @RRRunnersUK campaign hard to understand? Parkrun publish weekly results in a "female" category. The only purpose for that is to show females how they did compared to other females. There is no place for any men in those female results.

We’re accused of transphobia: “The sole purpose of #RealityRulesRunnersUK is the reinstatement of fair, lawful sex-based categories at @parkrun . This is clearly stated on our website & reflected across our social media.” thisisuncaptured.com/science… #FairFemaleSports #Parkrun
A science teacher says he wants to give ‘transphobes a Halloween fright’ at parkrun. Quoting Macbeth, he’s announced plans for a rival running group to @RRRunnersUK. The club was launched last month to “peacefully protest” parkrun policy - which still allows men to ‘self-ID’ into the women’s category. One prospective supporter on Reddit says it would be ‘extra fun to bait the bigots’. But given the new club is due to launch on Halloween, things seem remarkably, um, quiet out there. Ten Substack likes, three restacks and three public expressions of interest on Reddit. But there’s still time… My latest for [Un]Captured below 👇

Why are there so many angry, abusive and misogynistic men at #Parkrun? Sounds like Parkrun doesn’t just have an institutional misogyny problem but also a participant one. This guy (@andrewayr) is abusing fellow @RRRunnersUK club member @HallisseyC because she demands fair, sex-based categories at Parkrun. #Misogyny #Parkrun #SaveWomensSports #RealityRulesRunnersUK
Good example of the misogyny & ignorance at parkrun. Andrew: - calls @HallisseyC a “stupid bitch” - talks about males & females but his claims are baseless bc no sex data - calls for violence - “she deserves worse” - ‘if you don’t like sex discrimination, get lost’. 👎😡

Why does everybody seem to find it so difficult to answer this question: what does the W mean in parkrun's VW categories? 🤔
Apologies. I always thought the W here meant woman. Would you mind letting me know what it actually means? 👍

Love #Parkrun and how ‘inclusive’ they are? Maybe 👇 will have you reconsider… #FairFemaleSports #SaveWomensSports #RealityRulesRunnersUK #ParkrunUK #Sports #Competition
In my last parkrun as a female, I ran in the women's 40-44 category. I lost out on 1st overall female to somebody who won a 3rd place trophy in the men's 30-34 category in last season's X-country. This is what parkrun's warm and fuzzy inclusiveness looks like. 🤷‍♀️🤯 @RRRunnersUK

Dare to join #RealityRulesRunnersUK in time for Halloween next Saturday? We need an additional 33 more members to reach a spooky 666 members 👻 realityrulesrunnersuk.substa… #FairFemaleSports #ParkrunUK #Parkrun #SaveWomensSports
Only 33 members needed for @RRRunnersUK to reach that slightly SPOOKY Halloween target. Sounds like it should be achievable, but it's 3x the number who signed up this week so will need some effort. Spread the word to your sensibly minded friends today 👍 realityrulesrunnersuk.substa…
