I get the feeling that in gymnastics, we are in a strange period where time has passed, headlines receded, and abusive clubs and coaches are starting to creep back in, through new avenues, by putting a fresh face on their organisation or starting a new one. 🤔
As some senior leaders in the current news are finding, it’s the ‘ever since’ period that matters as much to victims of abuse. Once reported/uncovered, it should no longer be acceptable for the period afterwards in dealing with it, to be as retraumatising as the original abuse.
Dear @FA, Usually an open letter is quite polite. This one won't be. You don't deserve it. You made a 17-year-old girl cry and get on her knees and apologise for calling a full grown man a fucking man. Women aren't having that. In fact, she only asked a question, the fairest…
I wrote the words below in April, about the UK left, and I'm retweeting them today for the benefit of some of the numbskulls in my mentions. Women like me, and there are a lot of us, aren't and never have been far-right. We simply want the left to wake the hell up, because we're…
Dr Chris van Tulleken: “We’ve not all got greedier & lazier over the last 30 years. Instead there has been a total failure to regulate the food companies who shape our food environment.” #BBCLauraK: “Is it really for gov…to tell what companies can put in [food]?” Dr C: “Argh!”
MEN WON THE OPPRESSION OLYMPICS This hilarious video explains it all!
Thread. This is Melani Bergés Gámez. She is 90% blind. When she runs she runs tethered to a guide. Melani is a primary school teacher in Madrid. Melani did not get to go to the Paralympics because a man who says he is a woman took her place. We speak for Melani. 1/
Say her name. Melani. Melani. We speak for Melani. The blind woman who won’t be at the Paralympics. Say HER name. Let’s get her trending. Melani Bergés Gámez #IStandWithMelani
Really worth a listen

Sex Matters in sport | Media briefing
Lots of questions on this, so some clarification: Imane Khelif is not transgender, but Intersex. That means he has a likely disorder of sexual development (DSD), and countries like Algeria do not regularly test for these conditions at birth. Perhaps he has partial or complete…
Shame on the @iocmedia for allowing women to be beaten up by men as a sport. RT if you agree #ShameOnTheIOC
Happy opening night @peggs96 in @OliverMusicalUK at @ChichesterFT have a great night x
Such a great advert for girls’ sport. Banned from TikTok because 🤷🏻♀️ Hurty feelz? Please share this widely. It deserves to be seen, and heard. #SaveWomensSports
When you run an ad standing up for women and girls' sports, you get banned for life from @tiktok_us. Here's the ad. Offensive right? 🙃
This perfectly sums up what is happening to women today!
Every damned word of this.
Chris Patten has just murdered the party of which he was Chairman. It’s all in here - the bilge of Brexit, the worst foreign policy error ever made, and the insanity of the right wing cult’s grip on this once great political machine. Pure gold, spread it.
Outstanding paper from a who’s who of experts in sport!👏They demolish the IOC’s nonsense. Key points - female athletes must be consulted, trans men largely ignored, case-by-case unworkable etc. Excellent work!! #SaveWomensSports
New paper out! This is a big one for me, collaborative with lots of sports scientists. Thanks to @fondofbeetles @TLexercise and @Scienceofsport for pulling us all together. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
