British Cycling doubles down

So it seems British Cycling new policy of inclusion can't actually be questioned or the fairness of just lowering testosterone to 'level' competition. They have the ability to limit or even seemingly fine members.

I’m appalled at this from BC. Not surprised sadly. I’m unwell and unable to do anything more right now but register my outrage 😡😡😡

I really want to help women cyclists stand up to this

Yeah, usually you're just put on ignore (something I've never done in decades on forums, because I don't wish to live in a bubble of people who only agree with me). Killfile does seem a bit strong, but sadly in character with a certain type.

''killfile''?!? WTAF. Is that for when blocking or muting doesn't express their rage towards you strongly enough?

Speaking of cycling, yesterday I posted on a transgender thread on a cycling forum, which is the sort of place I tend to hang out when I'm not here or out on my bike. It didn't go over too well – my post was deleted. Here's a copy: www.notanothercyclingforum.net/index.php?topic=4445.0

I've been educating myself thanks to the women on this board (and its predecessor) for a few years now, and I guess it shows. Thanks everyone. Keep up the good work.

I can't see how this is legal, they are discriminating against members based on 2 protected characteristics. Plus we already have sports as a sex affected activity. If they don't think sex matters in their sport, why do they have sex cateories?

There ought to be a special day ‘Screw You BC’ when anyone who think is this is nonsense says exactly what they think.

God, I wish they'd all do it at once: 'I'm Spartacus!"

Be interesting to see how there are going to police this. It’s almost like they’ve not thought it through..,

MrsJamin · 31/01/2022 22:05

They're going to fine members that post negatively about this policy on social media?! What fresh hell is this?

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 31/01/2022 22:02

Totalitarianism. Remove people's right to protest. It's the only way they can cling on to their reality that men don't have a physical advantage over women.

Is anyone surprised? The only way of enforcing cheating, male supremacy and removing women's rights to fairness (and privacy from males while undressed) is by using threats. Decent people won't accept it unless they've been threatened like this.
