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.
You’d think these men would be embarrassed to compete in a woman’s event. What’s next, full grown men trying out for little league baseball?
they and the weird swimmer lia....
a hit squadron need to break some leg and ankle bones so they never compete again
“This stuff has to stop.”
It is not going to stop until enough people see just how absurd it is. So until then, so until then, I have decided to enjoy the absurdity. Go Trannies!
Just as is happening with “woke media”, the rest of the world will stop showing up at these events. All natural women’s events will start up..and they will attract the marginalized majority. The woke groups will go broke.
Do I have remorse, sadness, apathy, sympathy, etc. for the woman or women, in general, as it regards men claiming to be women entering women’s sports? No, no, no, no, and NO.
If the outcry from women had been profound from the get go about men claiming to be women participating in women’s sports, this idiotic garbage would never have taken root. But as par, the majority of women who galivanted around with female genitalia hats who believed in transgenderism, LGBQalphabet soup, etc. have ultimately come full circle in aiding and abetting the demise of their own women’s sport....by those they have deemed to be pure evil: MEN!
This garbo is nothing more than confirmed proof at the overall demise of Western Civilization cause I stopped giving a sh*t about Woman’s sports a long time ago. Thou hast reaped what thou hast sown. Rejoice. Be proud. Celebrate like its 1999.
As I post on liberal sites: “Is it really the fault of the transgender women that the third place person is more interested in starting a family than training to the level necessary to win the race?”
It’s sure fun to see the reactions!
It will stop when real women stop participating in these joke events.
When is someone going to see the unfairness in all of this?? Not to mention, disgusting.
I wonder how the percentage of women athletes versus non-athletic women compares when polled about having biological males compete with women. The poll would have to be anonymous due to bullying of anyone not going along with depravity.
Those are cheats, empowered by the elaborate and corrupt set of falsehoods to win by cheating what they don't otherwise deserve. They are also the face of progressive social theory, smirking, ugly, and knowing.
That’s not women’s cycling. Women’s cycling is dead.
Actually the only seem okay about it. If they show that they’re not okay with it their lives can be utterly destroyed. They’ll be labeled transphobic and publicly so and have a hard time finding any kind of work at all. For the rest of their life.
The severe backlash is building for these spawns of Satan.
The best part about it was the "3rd place" winner holding her baby.
The trannies may have "won" 1st and 2nd place but in holding her baby, she's reminding them that they'll never really be women.
I'm sure trannies find that triggering.
Any females transitioning to male demanding that they be allowed to compete against the men?
So they’re male homosexuals pretending to be lesbians. How utterly charming.
Why not? No more insane for an adult to identify as a twelve year-old than for a male to identify as a female.
That photo is, truly and absolutely disgusting.
Only actual women can put a stop to this.
Nails it. The left is trying to erase actual women and many of them are going along with it.
