A transgender female cyclist was blocked from participating in the women’s British National Omnium Championship over the weekend, as Emily Bridges is still registered as a male cyclist, the Guardian reported.
In addition, a number of the race's participants were said to be ready to boycott the race if Bridges was in it, the outlet added.
Bridges, 21, set a national junior men’s record over 25 miles in 2018, the Guardian said, adding that the cyclist began hormone therapy last year to reduce testosterone levels.
However, a number of biological female cyclists discussed boycotting Saturday's event because they believed Bridges has an unfair advantage, the outlet said, adding that Bridges was involved with the Great Britain Academy program as a male cyclist until being dropped in 2020.
In addition, Bridges is still registered as a male cyclist and can't race as a woman until the male ID expires, according to Union Cycliste Internationale regulations, the Guardian said.
Bridges was “disappointed” with UCI’s decision, the outlet said. “We have been in close discussions with the UCI regarding Emily’s participation this weekend and have also engaged closely with Emily and her family regarding her transition and involvement in elite competitions,” British Cycling said, according to the Guardian. “We acknowledge the decision of the UCI with regards to Emily’s participation, however we fully recognize her disappointment with today’s decision.”
A comprehensive scientific review by the five British sports councils in September said there were “retained differences in strength, stamina, and physique between the average woman compared with the average transgender woman or non-binary person registered male at birth."

Good. Let these attention whores run their races alone or against like minded deviants.
That’s all it takes.....the real female competition to boycott.....I don’t know why the swimmers didn’t think of it.
About time!

That’s how we do it! - Jaden Smith
Use this as the model.
The swimmer gals were threatened with being cut from the team if they didn’t go along with it.
I imagine that the swimmers were all on scholarship at college, but not the bicyclists.
No tuckers. If you want to be a woman, the man junk has to be cut off and get gender reassignment surgery. That alone makes 90% “cope” with their gender dysphoria problems.
These women will still vote RAT in overwhelming numbers.
why should ONLY mentally deranged men
who fail against their original gender,
be allowed to cheat with HORMONES
“playing” against normal women.?
“We’re not here to provide a platform for narcissistic cowards, incapable of competing in the designated arena!”
Because you can lose your scholarship and the ability to go to college.
So he was barred on a technicality, his male permit needs to expire, not because of an actual boycott, it was only "discussed".
As I understand it......ivey league schools don’t offer scholarships
I’m wondering why their Alabama ties are signicant.
From the article, it looks like he was denied based on a technicality of his male racing certification not yet expiring and not because he has-had a penis. Well, at least the ladies are at last fighting back. All womens’ competitions should be boycotted until sanity and sportsmanship is enforced.
It’s time to change the vocabulary used, since no one is transgender.
Instead of “transgender female”, change to “male whose delusion is to be a female.”
Instead of “biological male”, change to “male.”
Instead of “biological female”, change to “female.”
Instead of “cis”, change to “normal.”
Instead of “binary,” change to “normal.”
Instead of “non-binary,” change to “delusionary. “
Good for them! Stand up, girls. You can win this.
See how easy it is to put a stop to this crap? No need for the government to get involved by passing one more stupid law to fix something that people can fix themselves.
