    #TracksAndField was invented to mark the World Athletics championships.

    #WorldAthletics is a horrible organisation, it wants to medicalise Black women to meet white people's prejudices on femininity. For years, WA has been a schoolyard bully, picking on Caster Semenya because she's different.

    Pushback came from an advert in South Africa, where Semenya is a hero, and HRH Sirlord Sebastian Coe is dirt on someone's shoe.

    Caster Semenya can challenge World Athletics' discriminatory rules in court.

    Under its leader HRH Sir Sebastian Coe, WA claims it can order women to change their chemical makeup to fit its western ideals of femininity.

    WA also excludes trans women from its events, thus ensuring athletics is no longer a sport.

    More on this in next month's music challenge, #TracksAndField.
