Poor Emily being banned from cycling again

[Seainasive]

Cycling magazine a Canadian publication of course.

Yes, sorry!
Hulking great chap who claims he's a woman.

That could be very expensive shall we crowd fund it?

Awww,poor Emily. Perhaps Emily could take up Park Running instead?

Will Harper’s case study of a single MtF transitioner ever be published?

It seems to have been on-going for years now.

I'm not hearing a groundswell of female elite cyclists clamouring for their lovely friend Emily to be permitted to race against them.

Well Bridges said that Harper's study was coming soon.... But wasn't that said last year as well. So who knows.

Times article from Feb 2023:

The next set of tests in the study involving Bridges are planned for March and Harper expects to publish some findings this year.

Maybe I blinked and missed it?

Take it to court, Emmers, I'll bring some popcorn.

I love Sharon Davies’ tweet

“Male cyclists please make Emily Bridges feel welcome. Just as women often make transmen that’s trans ID’ing females welcome. Everyone should be able to participate in fair & safe sport. That’s all that females want funnily enough. Unless male cyclists you’re a danger of course? Then it’s a men’s job to sort that out!”

What do we need? My list so far.

Funding for the Bridge challenge: crowdsourced
Venue: let's apply for a permit so that the hearing can be in the Albert Hall or a stadium venue. Something that will take a decent size of audience and is set up for livestreaming.
When: asap.

Extras: copious refreshments and lots of facilities, comfy seats, safe places for support animals and childcare.

What else?

Gin.

I have twenty six bottles of it,I'll bring the lot.

You are my new best friend.

Well that's you and me sorted. What about everybody else?

Teetotal catering will be managed by an ecumenical coalition of Protestant and Methodist traybakers and a plantation of tea urns.

Look, I suggested the gin, so I'm having some. I'll even bring tonic if you want to be classy.

I will be highly entertained to watch Emself bring this to court. Not only will I contribute to any crowdfunder and consider it money well spent, but I’m happy to chip into the catering for MN spectators. Who wants a Tunnock’s Teacake?

🙋‍♀️

Gin without tonic is alcohol abuse. I have tonic.

Oh my, the Protestant tray bake thread! Off to re-read; I remember having many a merry chortle to it at the time.

I'll bring some lemons, limes and cucumber slices for the gin. Someone else can bring the tonic though, I only buy the aldi stuff and I don't want to lower the tone.

As we're pretty much obliged to bring it's not really possible to lower the tone, no matter how much naice ham nor lemon drizzle there is.

I also have a selection of rum,whisky,wine and tequila.

My cocktail cabinet overfloweth.

You are definitely classy.
Though to be honest so am I. I've only once had gin sans tonic, and I was a student at the time...

That's not counting sloe gin, though. I can bring some of that. I make some every year and have to clank through the checkouts with three bottles of Gordon's.

Aye,we're not savages.

Just bring the cocktail cabinet. We'll chip in for the courier costs.

Are people OK with plastic glasses or should we all bring one or two of our own?

Someone may need to pop out for bags of ice. My cool box doesn't keep things frozen.
