Absolute belter of an article about the fabulous Tracy Edwards here.

She is a legend. I can’t even begin to describe how deeply silly I find those idiotic wee lassies who had the absolute brass neck to appear in a show celebrating her achievements only to try to publicly shame her and distance themselves from her in order welcome men into women’s sports. I hope they got sacked, though I don’t hold out much hope for that having happened.
She's expressed this so eloquently.
I'm going to risk sounding ageist, so I'll state "Not all younger people".
The TRA's often state that it's the older boomers who are the problem, and once we've all shuffled off this mortal coil the world will be a more accepting place.
While it is true that many of us older women have less to lose by speaking up in public, another important fact is that we have lived through some of the inequality battles (men being paid more for doing the same job as a woman for example). And we don't have to go back far - we just look at our mothers and grandmothers to see how unfair the laws were for them.
We can feel the ground shake underneath us, those rights being lost, and the fear of what's to come.
We're viewed as old, pearl clutching fuddy-duddies who simply don't understand the modern way of life. Yet as Tracy says:
And that is the crux of the issue.
We knew that cross dressing fetishes took place behind closed doors, and as long as it remained there - fine! But now a line has been crossed and certain men have become emboldened to take their fetish with them, into public and into women's private spaces.
We see you, AGP men, and we know what you're doing, under the disguise of "Trans" and "Be Kind".
(With apologies to the lovely younger women and men who aren't fooled and understand that Women's Rights and Spaces need to be protected).
