Jill Foster Littlest HOMOsexual Maya Forstater As I say in the piece, the sisterhood has meant everything to me these last few years. I've met so many extraordinary women and made such wonderful friends.

Outstanding article.👇

Same in running. Males are STILL running in the Female category 13 months after UKA banned them in licensed events. Will the RDs who’ve encouraged this retreat gracefully over the golden bridge, or will their egos make them double down? Many are watching.

This article features an extract from an essay I contributed to a book written by those on the frontline of the fight for women's rights in Scotland. For my full essay and over 30 others, buy 'The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht', which is published tomorrow.

'For too long, I’d watched in silence as girls and women with everything to lose had stood up in the face of a modern-day witch hunt.'

J.K. Rowling on why she stood up for me and for thousands of women.

Same in UK. A male competing in the Female category in running has twice had his name hidden in the results. So not only are female runners subjected to unfairness by this male, but they are prevented from knowing the truth. Absolutely shameful.

'We’re witnessing the greatest assault of my lifetime on the rights our foremothers thought they’d guaranteed.'
'I spoke up because I’d have felt ashamed for the rest of my days if I hadn’t. If I feel any regret at all, it’s that I didn’t speak far sooner' thetimes.co.uk/culture/books/…
