All you TERFs who fret about what's happening to women's sport? You're the shrill, angry "Surly Shirleys" of 2018. Get over it. It's "just the way it is now."https://4thwavenow.com/2018/04/15/surly-shirley-and-the-assault-on-womens-sport-then-and-now/ …

@Scribberlings an interesting piece but alghtlt out of context quote by Hall at the end there which doesn't do the situation justice. Hall admits she didn't run her best that day.pic.twitter.com/v8QIPv1IP8

You aren't seriously suggesting that Hall's comment that she "can't really say what she wants to say" isn't about Yearwood, a male teen who had gone through puberty, being allowed to compete "as a girl"? And did you read the 2nd source link in the paragraph you're criticizing?pic.twitter.com/w00LFwxPwG

Are you suggesting the "context" (that Hall didn't run her best race that day) somehow weakens the point: That a male teen running against a female teen is patently unfair? The Yearwood case, in fact, is one of the most blatant examples of the excesses of gender-identity politics

I find it uncomfortable when people quote things out of context. I find it gets in the way of honest debate. The article you listed did not mention that Hall admitted they thought they could have been yearwood on a good day.

@KittyTrill So let's say Hall would have beaten Yearwood on a different day. Does that change the calculus in any way? It's irrelevant to the discussion, unless you think sports should not be sex-segregated. Just because a female can (sometimes) beat a male?1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

Yes because if yearwood has been categorised as a female competitor and can still be beaten it proves they aren't automatically guaranteed a win for being male. So the argument that they are only doing it to win looks weaker.

That argument ("only doing it to win") was NOT made in our article (though it's been made elsewhere). Once again, are you suggesting sex-segregation in sports should be abolished? Because that's the only argument that can be drawn from what you just tweeted.
