On my flight was talking to a guy next to me & it came up that I run. He starts telling me how I need to train high mileage & pulls up an analysis he’d made of a pro runner’s training on his phone.
The pro runner was me. It was my training.
Didn’t have the heart to tell him.

Asking its athletes to bear the costs of lower participation rates at 70.3 Worlds… @IRONMANtri has sunk to a new low… super disappointing to see the women’s race being treated as a second class event and moved at whim just weeks out from the race…

The sports world is grappling with stories of abuse by coaches. Soccer and hockey at the forefront.
This reporting matters. These stories matter. Survivors matter.
When you read it, it isn't fodder. It is reality. And someone's pain. This matters, too.

This is exactly the work I have done on hijab bans in sports for 10 years. It is about controlling women's bodies and not about advantage, danger or anything else.
MEN ALWAYS MAKE THE DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT WOMEN ATHLETES WEAR. ALMOST ALWAYS.

We’ve loved everything about #Wimbledon this past fortnight but this is still a shock. @Wimbledon - isn’t it time to #ChangeTheHonourRoll so that women like @EvonneGoolagong and @ChrissieEvert are recognised in their own right, not under husband’s names? Can we get this trending?

Yesterday, I had the BEST triathlon finish of my life, finishing 3rd overall female (17 secs behind the winner).
Announcer: "How does it feel to be beat by a girl?".
I don't know, maybe you should ask the *532* men I beat.
Please...DO BETTER. #Triathlon #womeninsports

The purpose of achieving your dreams is to inspire others, but the real reward is the journey. Thank you @TIME for sharing mine.

As a designer who consults with museums on gender inclusive practice, I am often asked about signage and icons. Here are some of my top recs for easy swaps you can make for a more gender inclusive visitor experience:

not all women coaches are good coaches to be sure but hearing something like this anonymously I do question it because of the way women who are ambitious, fiery + demanding are often seen as unfit to be leaders while men with the same traits are lauded as such
