Cycling is in the news today due to a ban on TransWomen competing in Women's cycling in competitive UK events.
I understand that Emily Bridges is feeling angry about this, especially considering how she has had to overcome barriers to cycle against women. I do have to disagree with the way she called the policy a “violent act” and accused the governing body of “furthering a genocide against us” as these acts are not acts of genocide. I do not pretend to know everything about the differences in biology between a Woman, a TransWoman, a TransMan and a Man when it comes to sport, but I do know that there are differences.
I guess it comes down to if you consider a TransWoman to be a Woman. I do not. I consider a TransWoman to be a TransWoman, some of whom have kept the genitalia they were born with, others have had surgery to correct that. If you consider a TransWoman to be a Woman, then there is no reason for a TransWomen to ever be in a Mans prison, even if found guilty of rape.
