Davies’ Women’s Sports Union, alongside the conservative advocacy group ADF International, has now issued letters to 10 organisations. They contend that these bodies are in breach of the law and are failing to adequately protect women and girls by permitting male-born competitors to participate in their events.

parkrun allows competitors to identify by gender rather than sex.

The webpage states: “We feel this is aligned with us as a health and wellbeing charity that provides non-competitive, socially-focused physical activity, and allows people to identify in the way they feel most appropriate and comfortable.”

These pressure groups obviously have no leg to stand on, and are blatant transphobes. Go fuck yourselves bigots.
