I’ve looked at clouds from both sides and these blue skies are so much better. Biologically Glaswegian 👹

Kasia tried to go around the outside of Celia, a dodgy manoeuvre into a downhill 90 degree corner. She never got her bars in front of the French rider which might've supported her priority claim. If Gery had braked mid corner/changed her line she risked falling. Taking out everyone behind Demi. 🤔

Honestly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this at all. Gery was more forceful that perhaps necessary, but it wasn't dangerous. She even appears to be ahead going into the corner!

So which is it CyclingUK ?Women only or women led because we remember your participation in trans exclusion with the 100 Women in Cycling debacle. www.bikeradar.com/news/cycling...

Cycling UK’s exclusion of trans women from award prompts winners to withdraw in protest | BikeRadar

The cycling charity’s 100 Women in Cycling prize doesn’t include trans women, following legal advice, which has led to a backlash from the winners

✨ Glow Rides are back! After a brilliant first year, communities across the UK are getting ready to light up the streets again. Women-led and open to everyone, Glow Rides highlight the need for safer streets and better cycle routes. Thinking of organising one? 👇 cyclinguk.org/glow-rides

Cyclists riding brightly lit bikes on a park path at night, surrounded by autumn leaves. A flag with "Glow Ride" is visible. Participants are smiling and wearing helmets.

When you thought the UCI couldn't stoop any lower. The race licence means you can be woken up at night for a blood sample, have someone watch you urinate and give your location every day. Now if you're female someone can inspect your tits. That's very well but equality demands reciprocity.

This past weekend I could’ve went to Wales for the British Cycling champs and pretended to be ok standing near the transphobes who actively excluded me. Instead marshalling for this was much cooler

For some pro racer/ TdF vibes try a water soaked small microfibre towel inside the crash helmet, pour cold water on head as and when needed. It's almost like living the dream, just don't get your bidons mixed up 🤯

People think I'm mad when I go out in hot, sunny weather with a wee umbrella in my jersey pocket, but it really helps to keep the sun off when we stop for hydration breaks or to patch a flat or whatever.

Not just trans kids, but the whole community. The likes of Sex Matters, LGB Alliance, EHRC, Starmer, Streeting, Phillipson, The Telegraph, The Times, etc.: all would love to say this, but they know it would go down with most people like a bucket of cold sick.

Marcy@deadheadgirly.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The second thing is much more pervasive IMO, although most won't admit to it. It is simply: They just don't like trans kids. They think they are weird and a danger to their children. They want them gone, but they know they can't say that out loud. So they legislate them out of visibility.

Starmer ain't no Winston Churchill according to Trump. If WW2 is the comparison then Donald ain't no Frankiln D. Roosevelt. FDR is regarded as the 3rd best US President ever whilst Trump is the 3rd worst. But he is the only convicted felon🕵️‍♂️. Vietnam was spared the wrath of Private Bone Spurs

‘Potentially’doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Maybe you would like to remind everyone of the trans cricketers who have been dominating the women’s game ? As for those non competitive club members being without value or worth suggests a worrying environment.

ThinkGov@thinkgov.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Are you seriously suggesting that you would support the club having members that can’t play in any competitive games? Do you disagree with the argument that women born as men have a potentially very significant strength advantage?

Make sure to complain to the BBC on this one. Here's what I put down This is not how I view SM at all, but it's how SM presents itself as a charity and how BBC editors will see it

Sex Matters is a charity that is set up to provide legal support in human rights and equality law cases. This is where its expertise lies and how its charitable purposes and objectives are outlined. It is not an LGBT charity and has no expertise or involvement in healthcare. It is not acceptable that they are being quoted in this article providing an opinion on the efficacy of treatment, of which they have no business commenting on. Specifically the quote from Maya Forstater: "It is a wasted opportunity to rethink a failed treatment model." Neither Forstater nor anyone in her organisation is equipped to make the judgement that trans healthcare is a "failed treatment model" and, therefore, should not have been asked to comment nevermind have it published
Robin Moira White@robinmoirawhite.bsky.social · 8mo ago

I cannot see the slightest justification for allowing anti-trans hate group ‘Sex matters’ to comment on this story. If you agree with me, a complaint to the BBC only takes a few moments. www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

Philippa York@pippayork.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Complaint to the BBC Peggie case reporting and here's the reply. Referring to trans people as "biological ---- who identify as---". Ignored the identify slur but using biological is ok as it simplifies things. For clarity from now on chromosomes will define everyone b/c bigots feelings matter
