The Earth is healing
Competition is competition. Sorry.
These are the same group of people that call women “birthing person” & “chest feeders” ..
This was a no-brainer 🤦🏿🐢💯🚲
The sad thing is this is only applied to cycling in british. It should be enforced in all sports in all countries
Finally some real world coming back! 🙌 woo go c3 this is the best way for your neediness 🫠
good ruling finally some common sense
The science isnt certain? WTF is that guy talking about
Never seen a woman become a man to compete in male sports and I wonder why…. Just some food for thought 🙂
Wow I can’t believe Britain voted this way. They are one of the most woke governments in the world…..besides Canada and the USA
💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
THEY WAY IT SHOULD BE!!!! LETS COME TO OUR SENSES!!!
A person cut his hand to compete and beat all records in the paralimpics.
British cycling triumphant today
An women can race safely
How about trans cycling
Youre a failed man 😂😂😂
Only 2 genders
Make your own league! Clear and simple.
About time people started showing some sense 👍🏻👏🏻
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Now time for USA to follow
Good.
Just let them compete with men.
Don't bother celebrating, because British Cycling has explicitly stated that MEN can still use the WOMEN'S changing rooms if it makes them more comfortable…regardless of how UNcomfortable it makes the women, so this ban is of cold comfort.
No, Verity, 'trans women' are MEN who identify as women. Being male and not female makes them a subcategory of MEN, not women. The sooner everyone acknowledges this, the better, because the lies of gender identity ideology are harming people and helping no one but misogynistic men who want to dominate women.
Transgender women shouldn't be allowed to use women's changing rooms either.
'' a violent act' oh do give it a rest
Pointless to bring this in now. Labour will overturn the ruling next year.
About time these organizations grew a pair of balls and made the correct decisions.
Common sense prevails
Lay a bet they will not get any entrants in the new open transgender women category
Totally agree 🎉❤. Now make it in all countries. And trans are not being discriminated. They open a new category for them 😅. That is being taken into account.
It's time just end this whole trans nonsense. It didn't work.. they couldn't behave themselves. Take the dresses off.. stop wearing makeup.. let's be done with it.
If Emily doesn’t want to race. Than I’m all for it
Only 2 genders, the rest is perversion.
Did the plonker journalist actually suggest banning a bloke from competing against women is "non inclusive"??
This is more great news from the sporting world ❤️💪👍
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
“The science isn’t certain” pretty much sure that biological science states there is male and female physiology. Just because some mentally ill people have made some genders up doesn’t mean it’s true. If there was more than 2 genders Mother Nature would have invented them already, that’s the science.
"Prioritizing fairness over inclusivity". Why on earth should males be "included" in female sports? Why is this even a conversation?! Men who identify as female are male. They can think of themselves however they like, whatever makes them happy, but they simply cannot expect the rest of civilization to go along with their delusion or to lie about reality. I wish the media would stop referring to males who identify as female as "women" – they are not. They are men who identify as women – please call them by this correct definition. Reality matters in journalism.
