1638990855901007882 | So @athleteally are devastated because @worldathletics have decided TW with male advantage cannot compete in female categories. Allies of female athletes they are not. Instead they cheer on sex discrimination at every opportunity. They have forgotten it's the 21C. https://t.co/i9M05TECZr | 72 |
1639268356648730628 | This vile policy affecting trans women athletes & those with intersex traits goes against the core purpose of sports: community. Implementing it on Trans Day of Visibility is hateful, cruel and discriminatory. We stand in solidarity with @AthleteAlly and all LGBTQ+ athletes. https://t.co/HPgHWVcqzG | 35 |
1639136839046152194 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics Fairness, you say? No advantage, you say? It's a college basketball team, but guess who's in their 50s? #LGBWithoutTheTQ https://t.co/q8kile6pEP | 20 |
1639040969084481543 | Join us LIVE now with our amazing partners @nwlc @AthleteAlly @interACT_adv and @EqualityVA as we discuss the latest in these anti-trans sports bans - and how to fight back. https://t.co/4vIm4hZHfm | 15 |
1639200109333282817 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics Women are fully human. We are not shit men- we are a separate category of human different from all men for which we will not apologise. | 12 |
1639048881156804608 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics Female sport is not a "Get out of Gaol" card for mediocre male athletes who can't make the grade in their own sex class. There's no difference between men competing against women & men taking performance-enhancing drugs to cheat against their peers. They're just #CheatsAndLiars | 10 |
1639117253479153667 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics Thank you, @WorldAthletics. Youโve shown that some sports organizations still care about fair play for the women they were created for. Thank you for not giving in to pressure and temper tantrums from mediocre men seeking titles they are unable to earn in fair competition. https://t.co/x9LquFCfYv | 10 |
1639014538564743168 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics There is inclusion, fairness and non discrimination. You just don't want things being fair, you want special consideration. https://t.co/pAotVOKB91 | 9 |
1639042780491296768 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics I know, right? Who will think of all those cheating men? Devastated. Just devastated! ๐คก https://t.co/iwBiJ0dZg3 | 8 |

1639017276832722944 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics Males in female sports ISN'T fair you misogynists. The choice is inclusion (of males) or fairness (for women) - very easy decision. | 216 |

1638994204402634778 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics So pleased that at last governing bodies have finally grown a backdown and will prioritize the clear science and fair sport and safety for female athletes. Well done world athletics ๐ | 146 |

1639009328056225794 | @AthleteAlly @WorldAthletics 'a young transgender girl who dreams of one day seeing herself on an Olympic stage will now have those dreams cruelly dashed' They can still take part in male sports Unlike the girls/women whose dreams have been dashed recently & who don't have the option of the other sex class | 143 |
