Philippa York
Philippa York was born and educated in Glasgow, and almost trained to be an engineer before discovering cycling at the age of 16. She was able to compete at the highest level in Europe for nearly 16 years, and after retiring from cycling she took up Tae Kwon Do to learn something very different – and reached 2nd degree black belt, though it did take 13 years of trying. Philippa has a son and a daughter, both grown up, and a partner of more than 25 years. She currently lives in Dorset and sometimes writes or commentates on cycling for various outlets, does a bit of human rights work and if it's reasonable weather rides her bike – but not too fast or too far.

Bold fail - basically it's stonewash so women are done for

So under roles and responsibilities

• Treat all Transgender and Non-Binary Participants with dignity and respect;
• Welcome all Transgender and Non-Binary Participants just as you would any other attendee or
member;
• Accept all Participants in the gender they present; verification of their identity should be no more
than expected of any other person
• If asked, explain that there are no restrictions for Transgender and Non-Binary Participants
taking part in Recreational Activity;
• Respect the private and confidential nature of all Transgender and Non-Binary Participants’
situations;
• Take your lead from the Participant, ask their name and use it;
• Support the Transgender or Non-Binary Participant with their choice of changing facilities;
• Report any incidents of inappropriate or offensive behaviour and language to the British Cycling
Integrity and Compliance Department;
• Avoid making assumptions about the Participant, take your lead from the information they may,
or may not, offer you
• Be clear about what language you use, all Participants should be referred to as the gender that they inform you they are

So women, it's pronouns all the way or you're out.

Time for a women in cycling policy?
