My name is Michael George, an athletics coach from IOM. This is no cult with people afraid to give their names. merely support for women & girls not to have men cheating them in sports by competing in their category. @sharrond62 & @mara_yamauchi are great ambassadors for females
Why are you so arrogant that you think your run is more important than anyone else's?
And until this never happens again, anywhere in the UK, those of us who can, MUST stop it happening. This wouldn't happen to me, or anyone else protected by wealth or privilege, but it's happening to NHS nurses under the bosses' eyes. #istandwithsandiepeggie always 💜🤍💚
He felt uncomfortable’ that a female nurse didn’t want to ‘engage’ in undressing with him. And even when she tried to do the right thing - by staying out of his way while he was in the changing room - that action was thought of as ‘bad behaviour’. JFC what dark days for women.

This man is a coach in athletics & thinks I’m a cult leader for wanting fair sport for females. If I was the parent of a female athlete I wouldn’t go near him with a barge pole. Here’s a poll by athletics weekly Craig. Are they all part of the cult. Or could you be wrong?
Waking up to a tweet from what might be the cult leader! What a privilege.
Today’s evidence was very disturbing. Peggie denounced for self-excluding from undressing in front of a man. Upton wanted to write the policies & punish any woman who wd not undress w him. He sounds like a very calculating predator. It’s like a horror film.
Upton was "keen to help develop trust policies". I'll bet he was.

NC These emails w IB were about this issue. DU was keen to help develop trust policies. Which might make it easier to take things forward if ppl refused to undress w him KS No, I dont agree, NHS Scotland were due to be writing policies (?)
Beautifully ironic. Dr Searle exercises her right not to be forced to profess public adherence to a metaphysical belief.
Dr Searle opts for a non-religious affirmation
A woman saying no to a man in the F CR is verbal abuse & harassment. The other day it was discriminatory. So women cannot say a word. We are supposed to just silently accept men invading our spaces. No!
JR - is that the policy you mean? KS - yes JR - difinition of hate incident written there, can you read and describe why you think it applied KS - thought it verbal abuse and harassment. JR - same for hate crime, why catagorised? KS - we discussed, filled datix, felt criteria met
Again: Banquo’s ghost refuses to leave
isla Bryson, sorry Isla bumba KS - ???? JR - on the changing room 26th Aug 2023 incident? did she say? KS - not sure, we talked on 29th dec, might have been mentioned before and why I wrote 8th Dec. JR - you reviewed hate policy, quick look then likely break fo rlunch
A nurse refusing to undress in front of a man is “hate”. This is a campaign for men to do anything & everything they want. Any woman brave enough to say no to these entitled men is branded hateful & must be denounced.
JR - where KS - consultant office JR - just you? KS - just me and Beth JR - what happened? KS - Beth went through all events, very distressed J - need to catch up KS - looked at hate incident policy, going through it realised incident required datix, completed together

So an NHS consultant believes it's invasive for a female nurse to comment on the fact that the male doctor expecting to share changing facilities with her is male. But presumably not invasive to expect a woman to undress in front of a male colleague 🤦♀️
and lots felt that way. reaction KS - concerned, and no policies JR - ??? KS - again concerned JR - qu of chromasomes KS - imagine invasive question, not relevant for colleague to ask JR - why upsetting for Beth KS - beth ID as F and Chrom don't matter to her
So Upton used F CRs in previous job too. As long as men get what they want, all is fine. No mention of asking the women whose single sex space is being given away if they are happy. Women who don’t need SSSes throwing them away for the women who do need them.😡
KS - Beth use in previous job, happy and comfortable, so I made no other suggestion JR - recall what you said? KS - not an in depth conv, asked if happy using, she said yes. I had nothing to add. JR - what prep for meeting? KS - l looked at info summary of previous jobs
“A woman…” Still? Seriously, @BBCNews - I am embarrassed I worked for you. Brighton wife killed husband with samurai sword, court told - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
It's not just a jog around the park for many runners. Lots of female runners from my running club train very hard for these events and take great pride in placing either first female or first in their age category.
Male Masters athlete @craigcox400 still abusing me bc I speak up for fairness in parkrun. This man coaches a @BritAthletics athlete. Do you abuse all the GB female athletes & staff who want fairness, Craig? You still haven’t answered my qs, Craig. Care to try?👇
It’s like an odd little cult she has grown here. A group of just the weirdest misfits that are too frightened to put their name and picture to anything they say.
My 6 yr old runs park run juniors every Sunday. She’s good, really good. There’s no other event she can do for her age group that gives her a timed position. She loves it. @craigcox400 would rather pitch her amongst boys, because her results don’t matter.@mara_yamauchi
Stop and look. The defence of a Scottish health board (at public expense) is invoking vicious (and irrelevant) gossip that a woman is unhappy that her daughter is a lesbian. Her daughter.👇
Jeez do I need to go back under oath to clear this up😝 My mum is my best friend, has and always will be. Her only concern is if I’m happy🩷
Exemplifies attitude of sexist blokes who think campaigning for women's equality in sport does not constitute 'a life'. As an Olympian & former world class marathon runner, Mara has chosen to dedicate some of her life to campaign for equality for women in sport. Thank you Mara.
Get a life. It’s a jog around the park on a Saturday morning.
