To the little boy who always came last in cross-country all those years ago at school, you grew up to be an #IronMan, I always knew you had it in you. #IronmanCopenhagen

It shouldn't have taken a decade for female athletes and campaigners to secure these protections for the integrity, fairness and safety of women's sports, but I'm glad the IOC and Olympics seem to be finally reaching that point.

The BBC is not helping itself by demonstrating that it's a boys' club. Men with presenting jobs interviewing men with BBC podcasts, to near-total exclusion of women. @BBCr4today This is the failure of impartiality writ large.

b) they completely miss that the Trump edit might be forgivable in isolation, but illustrates an attitude where the standard of “truth” differs for each political side. Consensus left wing views (on Trump, Hamas, gender) are instinctively assumed to be true without interrogation.

All the “BBC is right on everything” media heads are focussing on the Trump aspect, since they think the “Trump spreads misinformation so he’s in no position to criticise” line is an out…they fail on two points: a) Trump’s standard of truthfulness is not the bar to reach for …

Apparently the BBC staff choir is awful...they're all tone deaf.

Even on the day when the BBC is engulfed in a misinformation scandal they cannot bring themselves to headline their stories correctly. The IOC is not planning to ban "transgender women", they are planning to correctly separate the male and the female categories. No one is banned

The Culture, Media and Sport select committee should call @leng_cath as a witness on bias on gender and sex at the BBC thetimes.com/uk/media/articl…

It only took: Eight years of notebooks of tracking stats. Six years after presenting my findings for the first time. @fairplaywomen @sharrond62 Five years after writing the first peer-reviewed paper that established an evidence base for policy making. @TLexercise @Scienceofsport An onslaught of abuse. Multiple institutional complaints, and attempts to trash my credibility. Arguments to force retractions. A report to the U.K. police. A trans-identifying male tweeting about me 400 times a month, while making vulgar remarks about his breasts. No platforming and refusals to even be in the same room as me. IOC-backed scientists calling me TERF in secret groups. IOC-backed scientists making published arguments to ignore my papers. IOC “scientists” snarling at me in a public forum. An IOC sociologist inventing a whole new term to describe my approach, as if “biofeminism” was a pejorative 😂 An IOC-backed journal rejecting an extensive and well-backed critique of the IOC policy that has now been thrown out (because transphobe, testosterone doesn’t map to performance anyway, and other such bullshit). So many - far too many - private apologies from those too concerned to be publicly associated with me. The IOC didn’t need this scientific review. The work was already done, by those of us who have worked diligently for years to synthesise and analyse evidence, to consider arguments and examine counter arguments, all in the public domain. And all of whom have suffered the same backlash. @runthinkwrite @cathydevine56 Male development leads to male sporting advantage, and it’s baked in. It’s that simple.

To all senior journalists who want to save the BBC: read this article and think about what it means. About what would need to happen to change this state of affairs: @bbcnickrobinson @rogermosey @JohnSimpsonNews @jonsopel thetimes.com/article/256ff6c…

Has Davey ever written to the BBC urging them not to make false claims?

Men will finally, once again, be banned from the women’s category at the Olympics. Amazing this was ever even an issue, but thrilled the IOC has finally stood up for fairness and equality for women in sport.

If the BBC has apologised and withdrawn the program, what grounds does he have to sue?

BBC Trustee Mark Damazer says there was an “occasional mistake” and that there’s no systemic problem when the BBC reports on issues of gender identity and male criminals who claim they’re women. But the problem IS systemic. The BBC defaults to gender identity instead of fact.

Sorry for RTing myself but this was the time the BBC said that not only could MEN breastfeed babies, but that the drug-induced discharge was BETTER than breast milk #BBC #BBCBias

How is the BBC going to report this? How is The Guardian? This is gonna come as a shock to a lot of them. Evidence. Science. They don't much like that stuff. thetimes.com/sport/olympics/…

We haven’t clipped up @BBCBreakfast but it would be another example of absence The line has gone out - in true ‘Don’t Mention The War’ style ‘Don’t mention trans’. They know that activists will come for them if they do. And there’s the whole problem. They’re frightened.

These local councillors have every right to drop out but no business trying to influence an impartial charity to ignore the Supreme Court ruling - and deny other women fairness @fairplaywomen @SexMattersOrg

If I could RT this a thousand times, I would. The hand-wringers who say they want to ‘save’ the BBC must consider what action needs to be taken to do so, and they must look at themselves first. Pointing fingers at “right wing populists” will not save the BBC.
