New British Cycling trans policy

[PoshCoffee]

The new British Cycling policy goes public at 11am tomorrow. Anyone dare to speculate on the outcome? Will it be a win for women?

Even Donald Trump is thinking, "What a load of ridiculous lies! What an embarrassing tantrum them is having!"

🤣🤣🤣 This made me laugh far more than it should!

Glad to be able to raise a few smiles over the last few hours!

Lisps are a debilitating speech impediment.

Please don’t use disabilities as insults. It is disrespectful and demeaning towards people who have to live with those disabilities.

It's Violet Elizabeth Bott's catchphrase.

Fgs its a literary quote. A very famous one.

Confess I haven’t read the whole thread, but (among the hyperbole) was anyone else surprised to see EB say this needed to be discussed? I thought the line was #nodebate Em?

Er,she can, you know.

If trans people are being given everything they want, it's no debate.

If women's rights are also being considered, there needs to be a discussion.

Good job no-one's ever disrespectful and demeaning towards women, eh? Particularly not the subject of this thread or anyone in it...

(I think my irony meter might have overloaded).

I kind of respect the dogged determination at performative scolding on a feminist forum, but there's a danger of becoming a bit one-note. Try to mix it up a bit.

I love the scent of hyperbole in the morning, smells like....desperation.

The article!

Goodness! I don’t imagine you think of this when you call people pea-brained.

Gosh the hypocrisy keeps on coming!

It's a quote from a classic children's book.

Oh. Somebody said that already.

Yes, it does seem to be that way, doesn't it? I wonder why? A cynical person might tend to suspect double standards, I suppose.

I've at times got the impression that, reading between the lines of the propaganda, part of the reason that Emz got cut from the British elite men's setup might have been due to being a bit weak and weedy by elite male standards (eg she's said a couple of times something about not being a 'power athlete'), this and her perseverance with this ludicrous n=1 'scientific study' at Loughborough made me wonder whether at least a fallback plan she might have had in mind was for BC to adopt a 'nuanced' policy, whereby the big hulking brutish strain of TW gets thrown under a bus but the willowy sylphlike ones like her are welcomed into the fold.

I wonder whether IOF is now having a panicked Google to work out which children's book we are referring to so that they can come back with more pretendy attempted moral superiority or whether IOF realises they've made themselves look a bit silly.

Anyone know where the author is buried so that there can be proper performative reproachful faces at the graveside?

When you tell people they are stalkers, so you ever think about how fucked up and disrespectful that might be to anyone who has been a victim of stalking?

Do you ever read your posts and think, will this post show just how hypocritical I am? Will this post show that my motivation here is to just shame a group of people I disagree with while showing my own lack of knowledge about what I have just posted?

By the way, you still haven’t clarified any of the quotes from your posts that you accused other posters, including me, of being liars about what you said…. surely the way to positive contributions is to provide clarity if you have an alternative view?

I think PP is off updating the Word document where they keep their forum contributions for cutting and pasting, so they can scold women quickly and efficiently with minimal effort.

Not a TAAT, just a casual observation.

😂

Bit far away for me. I think a co-ordinated mass reproachful scowl in our own dwellings might be the inclusive way to go.

We could have a co-ordinated mass tut, like the NHS clap?

😂

I'm here for the mass tut.
