Yet another reason that tennis is brilliant(!) is that its main events (the four Slams) have men's & women's matches in the same days, same pitches, same stadiums, same audiences, and - despite Novak Djovokic's whining - same prize money 👍🏻

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog

Structurally there's no reason for this at all. The Olympics manages to have men's and women's events side by side. World athletics does too. But in team sports and many other areas there's this insistence that any women's event that happens must compete with rather than run united with men's events

These differences are likely biologically real to some extent in some sports, but they are also to a great extent also socially reinforced by the denial of resources to women athletes.

Look at #Snooker.

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog

Every women's event in this framework therefore becomes an inferior cousin of the Real Sports Event which by definition is for men. Women's achievements only get funded to show how much better men are, or as a side hustle to milk cash from superfans, rather than part of the main competition.

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

“The research in this area is growing. [...] I do not think it serves anyone to pretend the science is fully settled, but I do think it serves trans women to insist that the science be read carefully and applied honestly, rather than weaponised selectively.”

“The physical-advantage argument gives that discomfort a language that sounds neutral, scientific, and principled. But it is not applied neutrally, it is not consistently scientific, and it is not in fact principled, because it evaporates the moment you point it at trans men.”

metro.co.ukKyren Wilson reveals supportive Mark Allen messages ahead of Belfast winKyren Wilson is now a two-time Northern Ireland Open champion (Picture: WST) Kyren Wilson shared supportive messages with Mark Allen ahead of his Northern Ireland Open final win over Jak Jones, with words of encouragement swapped between the two rivals on the snooker table. Wilson hammered Jones 9-2 at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, lifting the Alex Higgins Trophy for the second time as he took his ranking title tally to 11. It was a fantastic performance from the Warrior in the final, making three centuries, but focus was away from potting balls for much of the week in Belfast. Allen’s return to the table for the first time since the World Championship in May came last week in a 4-2 defeat to his close friend Jordan Brown. The result seemed of little importance, though, as Allen bravely spoke out about struggling with mental health problems and possibly retiring from snooker as a result. The 40-year-old has since posted far more encouragingly about life and snooker, looking positively towards possibly playing at the UK Championship, but more widely feeling better after speaking out on his issues. ## Are you snooker loopy? You're in the right place. I'm Phil Haigh, and I cover the game we all love for **Metro**. In my newsletter, The Table, I analyse the biggest talking points, pull back the curtain on the sport and crown the biggest winners and losers every week. Sign up here. Phil has been reporting on snooker for over a decade There has been a lot of support for Allen from the snooker community and Wilson reached out before the final on Sunday, having also done so after the Pistol’s painful World Championship semi-final defeat to Wu Yize in May. Mark Allen has spent time in a mental health clinic this year (Picture: Getty Images) ‘I’ve spoken to Mark. I put an arm around him after the World Championship semi-final because I was working for the BBC,’ said Wilson after his Belfast triumph. ‘Just gave him a cuddle and tried to give my opinion or a little bit of advice. I was hoping it might help, I don’t know if it did. ‘I actually text him this morning [Sunday]. I wrote to him on Instagram in his direct messages because he put a story on about what he’d been doing with his mental health, his routines and stuff. ‘I just messaged him saying I’ve got no doubt you’ll be back, mate. Wish you all the best and I know I’m going to see you soon. > Completely overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since my statement. > > As I continue my treatment and my recovery now know that I simply have to raise more awareness around mental health in the future > > Best part of 6 weeks before the UK Championships starts and all… > > — Mark Allen (@pistol147) October 25, 2026 ‘He messaged me back, which was nice of him, just saying give the local crowd some good value today, all the best in the final, go and win it. ‘It’s just nice for him to know, hopefully, that as players and as I’m about to play a final, it’s just nice for him to understand that you’re still thinking of him.’ Wilson has worked with WPBSA on improving support for families of players, recognising the mental and emotional strain that is put on the sportspeople and their loved ones by the professional tour. On what he would like to see in terms of improved support for players’ mental health, Wilson believes a professional could be available at events, echoing the thoughts of Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Selby. ‘This is a tricky one. I know that at WST we have [sporting mental health experts] Sporting Chance, so the options are there,’ said Wilson. ‘I personally think it would be great to have someone on site because there is nothing better than having somebody face-to-face to talk to; because over the phone you can take things wrong, you get put on hold and stuff like that. Masters champion Wilson is now an 11-time ranking event winner (Picture: Getty Images) ‘If there was somebody on site I think that would really help. Like a genuine professional you can’t just put any Tom, Dick or Harry there. ‘But that’s why I think I have been successful because I’ve got a very strong foundation around me. I’ve been with my wife since I was 17 years old. My brother comes on tour with me. I’ve done that for a reason. Then I’ve got my mum, my dad, my kids, everyone. I speak to [coach] Barry Stark regularly. ‘So I think if you can have that solid base around you and then go off and pot the balls it definitely makes life a lot easier.’ Wilson’s win in Belfast was his first ranking title since March 2025, in fact it was his first ranking semi-final since then. A lean time in ranking events since then had left the Warrior with fears for his top 16 place by the time the Crucible comes round in April, but the £100,000 top prize has significantly eased those concerns. ‘I’m pleased I’ve managed to produce good, consistent, heavy-scoring snooker. It’s a good confidence booster for what’s to come,’ he said. ‘The way the tour works nowadays, winning a ranking title boosts you up into the World Grand Prix, the Players Championship and the Tour Championship. ‘To not have a chance of defending my Players Championship title last season was a real blow, sitting at home watching that. Hopefully this has given me a good stepping stone into those tournaments this season. You’ve got to ride the crest of the wave while you can.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
