Parkrun records held by transgender male-to-female runners

Being an occasional Parkrunner (struggling to break my personal 30-minute target), I was shocked to hear Olympian Sharron Davies say that course records on Parkrun are now being set by male-to-transwomen. Timestamp 6:09 at Fairness in sports governance: A Sex Matters webinar 28 June 2023.
