'If my 15-year-old son decided to transition, I would 100 percent support him. But I would not support him wanting to go into women's races.'
I was part of that generation where nobody stood up for us. A huge number of young girls missed out on opportunities during that period of time and I did not want that to happen again.
Loads of female athletes have supported my campaigning. The problem is that people are worried about trans activists, so a lot of people tend to keep their heads down. Of the 60 people who signed our letter, only four or five had ever put their head above the parapet. The rest of them remained anonymous.
If my 15-year-old son had gone through male puberty and he decided to transition, I would 100 percent support him if that's what he wants to do, but I would not support him wanting to go into women's races. But my son would not want to go into women's races because he understands biology and he knows that he has an advantage. All of my children have been brought up to believe in fair sport.
It's important that we find ways that trans people can be included in sport, whether that's turning the men's category into an Open category, having a third category or supporting the trans community to create their own Pride games. I don't know what the answer is; I'm not professing to have all the answers. All I'm professing to stand up for is for fair sport for females.
