Male runners outraged as Parkrun records wiped in the name of being inclusive

There's been a campaign by British Olympian Mara Yamauchi over male runners being able to identify as women on the Parkrun courses and claim the course records. She's been calling for sex to be the category, not gender.

Today Parkrun haves said they "will no longer publish data including most first finishes, sub-17 minute men and sub-20 minute women, and age grade or category records". They've said it's

A lot of men are furious at losing their records, men who were silent at women losing their records to other males, the men who said it was about having fun, not winning.

This is such a big even with mass participation it's going to make fairness a big issue and shine a light on female only categories.

I don't get the issue. Parkruns are normally just a bit of fun on a Saturday morning; they're not like more serious events such as marathons or half marathons.

It's not like runners are setting world records at these kinds of events. I'm sure most who are interested in timings will be recording on their stravas/fitbits etc and using their own data anyway.

I think the gender criticals have overreached a bit here, as their usual arguments don't apply. There are no changing rooms that trans women are invading, nor are there are medals for trans women to take off biological women, etc. So it makes their prejudice more obvious.

Mind you, I think it's been obvious for a while. I follow some of the 'debates' online and the hostility towards trans people has definitely grown (likely encouraged by Musk's takeover of Twitter/X). They used to say "I have no issue how people dress, as long as they don't enter my single sex spaces" but then those same people constantly criticise photos of trans people and mock them, so they clear do have an issue how people dress.

They hate being called transphobic - they'll say things like "stop calling me names to shut down debate", but then they label anyone who doesn't agree as a "misogynist" (even if they're a biological woman) on the understanding that if you don't hate trans people, you must hate biological women. What did they say about using names to shut down debate? And very little of it is original - if you follow a few vocal gender critical Twitter accounts you'll see they say the same things almost word for word.

Many of them are also viruently homophobic (especially towards gay men) but again if you point that out you get: "stop using names to shut down debate, (unless I'm using the names then it's ok!)".

Gotta love the right wing takeover. Us gays will be next.

Park Run has been known for years as a friendly event with a competitive element where course records are held. The men who are angry at their records being lost seemingly had no issue with the women's course records being taken by males who identify as trans women, including one who is in prison for attempted murder. So again, either it's just fun or the men need to shut up.

GCs believe that the reality of biological sex is a better marker than self described gender identity. They want their own competitions for females. Either you think women deserve their own sporting events or you don't.

And as far as the culture war goes, sport is the most obvious area where difference in biological sex is a factor. If you want to tell people they're bigots for thinking women deserve their own races then you're the one fighting a culture war, not the woman wanting to preserve the hard fought status quo.

Did you read Rowling’s screen grab from one of Liew’s previous articles that said females being erased from women’s sport by trans woman would be inspiring? He argues sports are unfair anyway so stop bitching about males in women’s sport.

by Anonymousreply 20February 15, 2024 1:55 PM

This is Liew's previous effort. His arguments are batshit.

[quote]Let’s start with the science. There are around a dozen studies indicating that a limited sample of trans women who have undergone male puberty retain some physical advantages over natal females. That is “the science”. All of it. Things it is: peer-reviewed, persuasive, evidence of the need for a certain regulatory framework in most sports, particularly contact sports. Things it is not: extensive, beyond challenge, equally applicable across all sports at all levels, a one-stop manual for blanket bans, the words of the literal Bible. Nor is it remotely capable of bearing the torrent of slurs and scaremongering that has been carried out in its name.

[quote]Other sciences are, of course, available. Shall we cite any of the numerous studies on the effect of socioeconomics or mental health on performance? (Trans people are significantly more likely to be in poverty or unemployed, disproportionately affected by depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.) Or how about quantifying the effect of – let’s say – spending years in a body you do not want, undergoing often painful and traumatic transition, being demonised for simply existing and living under the daily threat of harm? Shall we run the numbers on that, guys? The wrong kind of science? Too much science?

R21 I don't see the first quote as batshit, he's just explaining the science carried out to date. There aren't that many trans people who compete in sports, so it's understandable the science is patchy and that taking hormones can have different impacts on different people. There are lots of variables at play, such as height, mass, etc. Plus I think the sport itself matters - eg there was much fuss over a snooker/pool contest recently - but I can't see why being male would be an advantage in pool because there's no physical contact and it's feasible for a male pool player to be shorter than a female pool player.

Yet because the article is in the Guardian it gets automatic criticism (after all, how could anything in a left leaning newspaper be trustworthy?!) and the fact it's written by a man must mean he's an evil misogynist who hates women.

by Anonymousreply 36February 15, 2024 6:36 PM

The Guardian have published 4 responses. Cathy gets it right.

Jonathan Liew claims female parkrunners who want to compare run times with peers of the same age and sex are “the radical trans exclusionary police”, “useful idiots on social media” and part of “the rage machine”, and that the issue “isn’t really about sport at all”. This is all astonishing hyperbole. I am a leftwing feminist academic whose expertise is in women and sport, a Labour member, a director of the politically left Woman’s Place UK, and a founder signatory of the Labour Women’s Declaration. This denigration of female runners who campaign for their own grassroots sport categories as anti-trans and rightwing is offensive and reminiscent of historical battles for female-only sport over 100 years.

Parkrun offers four categories: female, male, “prefer not to say” and “another gender identity”. Trans people should, of course, be included – trans men in female categories, if they so wish. But trans women, most of whom retain a 10% male performance advantage, can surely register in one of the other three categories. Because the hopes and dreams of female people matter. Many female runners want to know their run time compared with other females in their age group. Just like male runners. Course records in the one female category should celebrate the fastest female runners. How is that a rightwing outrage? The left leaves a wide-open goal for the right if it denies female runners even one female-only category.

Green got puberty blockers from the US and took him to Thailand for "bottom surgery" (castration) on his 16th birthday and later joked how small his penis was so the surgeons didn't have much to work with. Green went on to become CEO of Mermaids until she resigned after a charity trustee with links to paedophile groups was apoointed.

That's why I've always had a hard time swallowing the gender critical arguments. She isn't even attracted to women - so why would she want to perv on other women in public toilets? It feels like turning a group into the 'bogey man' that people can blame all the ills of society on. Where have we seen that before?

R65 Nothing. That's the point. Just like us gays aren't going anywhere, even though some on the (far) right wish that we would.

R66 The irony of you saying I'm "seriously seriously ill" when your above rant makes you sound a bit unhinged. "Homosexual" isn't a derogatory term, but it's usually used in formal situations (eg scientific journal articles) rather than in every day parlance. Usually when people say "X is a homosexual" or talk about "the homosexuals" it's usually in a negative way; often because they don't like terms such as "gay" - seeing them as too informal or accepting.

I don't have self-hatred - I'm gay so I'm not trying to erase myself. I'm also not a drag queen; I've never worn make up or female clothing in my life. And no I don't work in real estate.

Oh so this is about your friend wanting to use girls’ bathrooms so he doesn’t get beaten up by men? But then women and girls should expect not to get raped or beaten up by suddenly having any number of men in their vulnerable places?

1. Your friend is not all men who pretend to be women. Why are his rights more important than women’s?

2. Assault is about power and does not have to include sexual attraction.

3. Men perpetrate violence against women at a vastly greater rate than women do to men. Even in dresses most men can more easily harm most women.

4. Why is the perceived safety of your friend — and others who don’t like the hand DNA dealt them — more valid than the safety of women?

5. Trans women are not women no matter how many times it is repeated, and then used to corrupt arguments. There is no cis. There are men and women and rare intersex and people who don’t like that reality.

6. This is not transphobia. This is protecting women’s rights. No one cares how people want to present themselves. The issue is trying to turn the world upside down to pretend that they aren’t what they are.

7. Anyone who uses the threat of suicide as a bargaining chip is either borderline or needing a lot of therapy. They are worthy of sympathy but not control of outcomes.

8. A larger percentage of women have suffered stranger, partner or sexual violence. Being with men in enclosed spaces is an issue. This was why Rowling spoke up. As much as people don’t want to admit it, trans people are not “passing”.

If this is a huge issue, use your voices to advocate for more single, private bathrooms or allow trans people to use family restrooms meant for nursing mothers…. oops I mean birthing mammals assigned female at burtg, totally at random.

R71 It's not 'about' my friend, I just mentioned her because she's very different to how people like you tell me trans people are. If I didn't know any trans people I might believe all the anti trans rhetoric, but as I do, I can see through it.

It's a bit like how homophobic people can sometimes change their mind if they actually get to know someone who's gay because then they're not this idea in their head, but an actual person.

Your post goes off assumptions of things happening. I could get attacked by a man when I leave my house. I'm a man too but that doesn't make me invincible. I still leave my house, though, because I know not everyone is an attacker.

I think what I really can't get past though is that you -- to be frank -- sound like an asshole, as do most gender critical people. Devoid of any empathy. In your eyes, every trans person is this horrible mentally ill person and therefore deserve derision and ostracisation. You benefit from an increase in the acceptance of gay people, but you delight in the idea of robbing another minority of that. You've seen a benefit, so you feel happy raising the drawbridge. As the saying goes: I'm all right Jack! We're not all that selfish, though.

People who demand empathy have none to offer r74. 'Devoid'. Go on then. Give me a good reason why women and girls should see dick in the changing room.

R75 I don't demand empathy, I just said you don't have any.

I don't think anyone particularly enjoys seeing the genitalia of others in a changing room. I know I don't. I usually face the wall when I get changed and do it as quickly as possible. But it's a matter of fact that you'll sometimes see it and can quickly look away.

This is a really stupid argument. Because your "friend" is one way, then no other trans person (and there's a lot of road to be covered in that definition) could possibly do anyone any harm or want to take away any rights. Either you're being willfully obtuse or you've had your head planted firmly up your ass for the past decade. I vote for a little of both.

Loads of people want to do each other harm unfortunately (regardless of sex), but most don't. That's just the world we live in.

[quote] I'm not saying that.

It's exactly what you're saying. You said that because you have one trans friend who isn't like that, that the behavior of the majority should be ignored. Does your trans friend accept what the majority trans agenda is pushing? If she's such a quiet wallflower as you portray her, then I'm guessing not.

[quote] But you'd have us believe they're all the same, whereas I'm saying they're not.

No, this is a straw man argument which has zero basis in fact to it. That's YOUR assumption and a way to deflect. Being ANY minority doesn't give one license to act poorly, discriminate against other minorities, attempt to take away their rights and break the law. And this is what the movement has brainwashed a good number of people into accepting. And it's not acceptable at all. Just because you wear glitter lipstick to the gestapo doesn't make you any more fair.

by Anonymousreply 79February 16, 2024 4:39 PM

R79 How is it "the majority"? Have you documented all trans people and their behaviour? I'm guessing you're just making assumptions or deliberately overstating it to demonise them all.

And you call me unhinged! I have no problem seeing genitalia in a locker room situation or a nude beach. If you see a man's genitalia in a locker room and have to quickly look away you are one sick fuck. I'm not advocating staring either. Why do women and girls have to put up with your diseased shit. Give them a break. A man is scared and feels threatened in a man's locker room so he has to be with the women. And you don't see the guy is mentally ill and needs both a therapist and a psychiatrist! You know these men can change in stalls in men's rooms too. But you are such a dimwit you can't figure that one out either. And you must adore the pronoun garbage. Everyone should be wearing a badge of their preferred pronouns though I prefer adjectives. 'Idiot' 'Narcissist' 'Dysfunctional' 'Non Binary' 'Stupid' 'Pretend Woman' 'Pretend Man' 'Whatever the Hell I Feel Like Today.'

I said you don't stare either you very very illiterate person. But if seeing genitalia makes you have to quickly look away you are indeed one sick fuck. Hate the human body that much huh? But you expect women and little girls to have to deal with male exhibitionists in their locker rooms? Well how about these men get arrested as sexual exhibitionists and labeled sex offenders like they should be.

by Anonymousreply 102February 17, 2024 10:32 AM

R102 I don't hate the human body, it's just impolite to stare at a stranger's genitalia. You said 'don't stare' but if you're not looking away, you're staring.

I don't accept that all trans women are 'male exhibitionists'.

Also, most gender critical people say most trans women are actually gay men who were ashamed of their sexuality. But then they imply all trans women are perving on women in bathrooms. Both can't be true. It shows how the goalposts constantly change.

by Anonymousreply 103February 17, 2024 11:01 AM

If a male who hasn't transitioned and is seen naked in a woman's locker room nude he IS an exhibitionist. And should be arrested. You might not believe it because you are a twisted person. And male nudity was for thousands of years accepted practice with no shame for the male body and you didn't suddenly turn away. Men socialized nude, swam nude and showered nude. And these were straight men. Guys used to have fun snapping other guys naked butt cheeks or play helicopter and everybody would laugh.

You know you are so fucked up. Not immediately turning away you're staring. What the fuck did your parents do to you?

They can absolutely both be true. Gay men are often exhibitonists. Ever go to a gay pride festival and witnessed the leather queen strutting around in their garb? Those are men who get off on being naked or almost naked in public. The MTFs who do the shit in locker rooms with women are also those types. It's a weird way of them wanting attention. The male in the Korean spa in LA decided to get into the hot tub where there were female underage kids and he was naked. He did it for attention and to see what they would do. It was "sexual" only because HE got off on it. Some Mtf's are self loathing gay men and some are straight men with autogynephilia, but I would say that both are practicing a kink that they want others to participate in whether they want to or not.

[quote]Also, most gender critical people say most trans women are actually gay men who were ashamed of their sexuality. But then they imply all trans women are perving on women in bathrooms.

Most GCs believe there are 2 distinct types.

1. transsexuals, the old fashioned "man trapped in a woman's body" otherwise gay effeminate men who would do everything they can to become a real woman and would be accepted because of the effort they make. Think Caroline Cossey.

2. AGPs, the men who LARP at being a woman and think they make better women.

But there's another type now. Men who have no interest in surgery or hormones who use self ID as a way to abuse women.

by Anonymousreply 111February 17, 2024 9:33 PM

R111, right. And those types in your second and third examples are the ones who scream the loudest about their rights. They also try to convert young, gay kids to thinking they are trans and those are the types most of us have an issue with. There are actual transexuals, but they are rare and usually content to keep to themselves. I feel badly for them because they are being lumped in with the other two types you mentioned.

The issue is, it's hard for people to make the distinction. You will sometimes hear true transexuals coming out and saying they are against a lot of this transing of kids, but their voices get drowned out by the men trying to force their will onto everyone.
