What bollocks.

The comments are good. I am embarrassed for the author of the article.

What a load of absolute horseshit.

Ah the entirely unbiased pippa york TW & advisor extraordinaire to British cycling

"Eventually it reaches the ridiculous trope of the predatory trans woman lurking in the shadows of changing rooms or bathrooms." That's all you need to know about this mendacious bullshit article. Surprised it was in TheTimes given their GC credentials-perhaps they think they need to provide "balance"?

Written by a.....?!!!!
Of course...

Tripe.

Poor Emily, competing in the mens race a month ago and not allowed to race with the women, I’ll get my tiniest violin out.

The times editorial line is flip flopping on this a lot.

For every rational realistic article about the devastating affect of TW in women's sport, you get garbage like this.

It's like a paper writing about climate change but for every article they counter it with an article full of lies claiming climate change is some sort of conspiracy....

When will enough be enough?

Pippa York . No bias there then

I'm glad they are presenting different views. Then everyone can read and make up their own minds. And frankly the more people get to hear the tra arguments the better.

Emily isn’t just reducing testosterone to meet sporting criteria — she’s transitioning to female

Not possible

I appreciate The Times want to provide balance

But is this the best they could do

You can’t ‘reduce someone to their DNA’. What else are we?

The poor articles put up as "balance" just make Janice's and Lucy's and all the other excellent writers' work look even better.

I can never see the comments on Times articles but I like the fact that they point out at the end of the article who Pippa York is.
"Pippa York, riding as Robert Millar, was an elite professional cyclist for 16 seasons and completed her transition in 2003. She sits on GB Cycling’s diversity and inclusion advisory group"

I agree. Have you seen the comments.

transitioning to female

Then Emily is a miraculous anomaly.

Maybe the times do it on purpose. They can’t be accused of bias because they are putting up different views, but they are selective about which articles they use. So one side is rational, factual and sensible and the other side waffles and makes shit up.

What a load of self deluded rubbish.

Is Pippa york Emily’s dad?

Sorry I meant mum.

I think it's great that articles full of emotive drivel like this get published. As always it highlights the lack of grounded research - much noticed by the commentators below. Crack on Pippa York - you're unintentionally doing our work for us.

Isn't pippa in training to compete in women's cycling competitions.

The man posing as a woman, Pippa York, is speaking from his a-hole. That’s about as much as I can be bothered to muster is response to his witterings.
