Poor Emily being banned from cycling again

[Seainasive]

Cycling magazine a Canadian publication of course.

What about slimline bitter lemon? Or an i now beyond the Pale?

So 'ban' is another word that has been redefined through the trans-latorthon 3000?

Its like the biblical parable..only with gin and pom bears/traybake.

Yes,it now means 'I'm not allowed to do whatever I like'.

We’ll let it go on this occasion but you should consider yourself sternly warned about such transgressions.

What about me? You are discriminating against me. You should try to be more inclusive.

I suppose I could blow the dust off a bottle of Grappa.

So - is Bridges being forced to self-exclude to protect the Bridges-self?

How heartbreaking!

And totally different to all of those women forced to self-exclude from practically every female space everywhere, in sport and out of it, because it is now invaded by male-bodies in the form of Bridges and Bridge's ilk*. Those woman are just jealous drama queens who are being petty and ridiculous.

*I don't often get the chance to use "ilk". It was surprisingly satisfying.

Bridges should train harder to be competitive on the open category.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who has stood by the abuse of women in sport and then has the audacity to claim they've been hard done by.

Because it's quite literally illegal in Canada since bill C-16 passed in 2017 not to allow them to play (discrimination), or to protest against them playing (hate crime). That's the result of self ID brought into law with no Equalities Act type exception clauses like in the UK.

You risk being charged with a crime yourself if you a coach, you a player, you a parent, you a spectator, dare say that this isn't fair or take steps to disallow it.

At best all you can do is refuse to play, quit the team, Canada really does need a lawsuit to sort this -- it will not be reversed or changed unless the Supreme Court rules the self ID law to be unlawful. I'm not holding my breath.
