Bridges was cycling and winning competitions in male categories as recently as February.
Emily Bridges and Lilly Chant, two biological men who identify as transgender, won the first and second place slots at London's ThunderCrit cycling event on Thursday.
Emily Bridges and Lilly Chant take 1st and 2nd place in tonight’s Thundercrit cycle race at Herne Hill Velodrome.
Notice anything different about them compared to the cyclist who takes third place?
According to Reduxx, ThunderCrit is London's largest fixed gear cycling race. The victory was announced on Twitter by the Women's Rights Network, a UK based organization defending women's sex based rights.
The tweet continues, "Notice anything different about them compared to the cyclist who takes third place?"
Third place went to the only biological woman in the photo. She's pictured holding her child and standing in diminutive regard to her biological male counterparts.
In response, one tweet reads, "This pic tells the story of gender ideology perfectly. Men first, women & childrens needs last."
Two men kiss as they celebrate stealing 1st & 2rd place in a womens race...woman takes care of her child as she stands on the 3rd place she has been relegated to due to male cheats.
This pic tells the story of gender ideology perfectly.
Men first, women & childrens needs last.
Bridges and Chant's victories contribute to a growing trend of biological men, who identify as transgender, competing in and dominating women's sports. UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas has won swimming competitions by unprecedented margins while openly laying ambitions towards the Olympics. Last year power lifter Laurel Hubbard was named "Sportswoman of the Year."
All three victors competed in ThunderCrit's Lightning category, which their website specifies is for "cis-women, non-binary people" and "trans men and women whose physical performance aligns most closely with cis-women." The site continues that "cis-people cannot choose their racing category. Cis-men will race in the Thunder category, cis-women will race in the Lightning category."
Prior to Thursday's race, Bridges had been unable to compete in women's cycling events. As reported by Outkick, Bridges couldn't race in the British National Omnium cycling event after protest. Bridges was also cycling and winning competitions in male categories as recently as February, and was registered for the British National Omnium as a man.
The outrage continued through Bridges' involvement in ThunderCrit, as one tweet noted "If injustice doesn't inspire fury, you're morally defunct."
Two men in 1st and 2nd place in a women's race. If another man chooses to enter, there'll be no female winners. In women's sports. If injustice doesn't inspire fury, you're morally defunct. https://t.co/alrKeT4hb4— dammit (@guillotesque) June 4, 2022
In October 2011, Chant posted on social media it would take 11 months of hormone treatment to reach acceptable levels to compete in women's sports. ThunderCrit didn't adhere to this criteria as June falls within that period.
These victories occur amid the statistical advantages biological men, even undergoing hormone treatment, have over women.
ThunderCrit didn't specify metrics for determining how their non-cis participant's could self-assess their physical performances.
The term "cis," as applied to gender, was coined in 1991, by German sexologist Volkmar Sigusch to create a distinction where everyone is either "cis" or "trans." Sigusch's work in gender theory extended beyond transgenderism and included other common sexologist topics such as his 2011 SPIEGEL interview where he identified as a pedophilia apologist.
With the increasing number of biological men dominating women's sports The Post Millennial's Libby Emmons tweeted:
Women don't matter to anyone. No one in power cares if women are marginalized, commodified, colonized or erased.
Feminists fought for equality then gave it all back as soon as men demanded it.
This stuff has to stop. What is wrong with these people who support these sports that they won’t enforce the biological reality.
I remember when beating women was a crime.
Have we reached peak depraved yet?
What a farce
>> What is wrong with these people who support these sports
Satan’s spawn, or simply scumbags for the non-Biblical types.
Two fags and a mother. But I want to know if that mom supports LGBT and votes leftist, Labor in the UK.
lol — a sadly hilarious question.
To Hell with Peak Oil, we got Peak Depravity
I suspect not. But this may represent peak science denial.
It’s a sign of mental illness to live as a transgender.
And it’s a sign of mental illness for society to say, “That’s OK. It’s normal. I accept it.”
It’s not normal in any way. It’s very wrong.
A majority of young women seem to be ok with this nonsense, so who am I to stand in the way as they destroy woman’s sports?
Hell awaits.
One sure way to stop this ‘declaring as transgender’ crapola is to have a rule that requires anyone making such a declaration prove that they have no ‘dangling bits’ down there. If they have not done the ‘Full Monte’ and exchanged a pole for a hole, then they are not really committed to their declaration.
Society isn’t just accepting it, it’s encouraging it. These people are viewed as heroes. And genuine women are derided as “TERFs”.
The way to end this is for TONS of athletic men to start competing in ALL womens sports. Start taking ALL the prize money from every womens sport and the outcry will be heard from space.
Perhaps women cyclists should be given a supplemental battery assist engine to level the field a bit.
Alternately, males could have their tire pressures reduced by 66% -— akin to adding saddle weights to lighter jockeys
I hope all the liberal females in London are enjoying this - it’s only the beginning.
You might have included a Barf Alert. I don’t want to see two dudes kissing.
dicks
Evil perverts.
