I'm not a runner. My ankles reject it after a career in gymnastics. But I'm debating the run club if Natalie agrees to my sluggish pace.

I have run 2 marathons but at 57, I'm old and slow! But count me in to support brave women like Natalie and to encourage others to speak out!

I tried to sign up and it says "coming soon." Is it user error on my end?

I would love to sign up and contribute! I am post fractured calcaneus (heel) 3.5 months. I healed in record time; 5-6 weeks!

Point is, I am fully healed and walking at a fast pace for 5-7 miles per day.

Can I participate even though I am not technically running?

Yes!! Regardless of where you are in your training, we’ve got content for you! (I walked 5-10 miles a day when I was pregnant, and I know that kept me ready to get back in shape to run!)

Just when I think I am finished with Marathons….they suck me back in! I will definitely check this out. I can at least do a half still! And bring more attention to this shit to my local running girls. They support me as the struggling mom but they don’t care so much about the bigger picture.

Hard to believe that onlookers shout abuse to an elite runner during an official competition. Congratulations to Natalie on her great win at a blistering pace! Special thanks to Jen for her leadership and dedication to women's rights. She's a source of inspiration for millions.

Women and men are united in the fight against the inclusion of the woke ideology into sports. We shall fight blind delusion and stand for women's rights. Victory is the only option because we all have a mum, a grandma, a sister, a niece or a cousin. Fair play isn't negotiable.

Thank you. I think maybe I inspire thousands or possibly hundreds but thanks for the “millions” vote of confidence! 😝

Thankfully, it was only roughly 3 people that I knew (lol - no random strangers) but still laughably weird and mean for no reason (I’m out running and yall are just standing there…?)

Success is the best response! Sounds like the Marine Corps did right by entry requirements too. Fight Fight Fight.

I STILL can't believe this whole "gender confusion" crap is going on at all. 💔

I support XX XY 100%. No men allowed I'd guess. But we'll join the fan club. Thanks for the post.

Millions might sound optimistic but it isn't. Millions of regular parents reject the woke ideology that compromises the future of their daughters. Although they don't speak up or take to the streets, they suport you. Keep going!

Congrats to her. Did that Marine Corp race manage not to have any men running in the women's division?

It's just amazing how many people still insist that males have a right to compete in female sports. It's so blindingly stupid and batshit-insane I'm running out of words for it. And getting exhausted explaining something so obvious to people who are determined to be so obtuse.

But reading about Natalie's accomplishment(s), I see that I have no right to feel exhausted. This fight will continue, and those of us in the reality-based world have to keep doing it. We WILL keep doing it. We won't stop.

Men can't become women. Women can't become men. No one can morph into the opposite sex. BIOLOGY ISN'T BIGOTRY!
