How long has this taken there hopeless
Trans women are men therefore they have a massive advantage, anyone who fudges that is a liar.
There shouldn't be separate gender categories for any sports.
45 trans “women” in British cycling, getting better results than they should as a minority, and there’s no advantage? This Joanna Harper is a paid liar as all trans identifying male activists are.
So what you’re saying is
This Joanna person has a suspiciously deep voice 😂😂😂
They haven't been banned from competing they just have to compete against men, which is only right and fair. Women are entitled to fair sport and don't have to justify wanting it, men have so many advantages over women physically that can't be mitigated against, yet the TQ+ focus on testosterone levels as a distraction from all the other unfair advantages that men have.
‘Emily’ called the decision ‘gENocIDE’ 😂🤣😂
What science do we need come on😂😂😂
For those who don`t know the sport.
At the elite professional level ,worldwide cycling for both men and women is done through sponsored teams, like in motor sports.
So to get on a ream you have to be very good or very promising at junior level.
Or if you are ambitious but not good enough for elite men ,why not use your physical advantage and compete with women and hope to get in on women`s elite teams?
Is it really about `I want to cycle with the girls`?
Cathy handled this debate very well.
Really?!?… :O You don't day… I wonder why… /s
Why don’t we see “trans men” competing and winning against “CIS men”?
So basically men and women categories… under a different name i.e. "female assigned at birth" and "open"
Ever wonder why this isn’t happening the other way around ?? Because it would prove to you how absurd this is…
Females and males are defined and set at conception. It’s not “assigned” at birth. It’s simply observed.
Trans women are a sub-category of men.
Joanna Harper is a man. And he said himself an 'open category' will be 99% men.
I hope this is not taken as hate speech… but I am not partial to many interviews by Cathy Newman.
They’re not a subset of anything—they’re men.
