...what ever will they think of next!

Common sense, whether these men have transitioned , physically, they are stronger than females

[youngmafbog]

This should never have to happen.

I really dont understand anyone who gre up as a big strong man, often not winning in mens competition, can take any satisfaction from beating a woman.

retrocop there is nothing to suggest the person named in the link in the now deleted post and other competitors in a similar situation, did not adhere to the regulations that applied to them at the time of competition.

To claim otherwise is potentially libellous and must not be repeated.

That's you on the naughty step retro!

Not before time - although why it took them nine months to decide that men aren’t women is anyone’s guess.

[zebo]

It's taken them 9 months to reach this decision that was pretty clear to most people.

[retrocop]

Jesus. This is damn stupid. I was referring to the cheat in my link. I've had it with the new moderation on this site. No wonder they asked me back. As Grommet wrote 'They must be desperate ' I can see why. I'm out of here.

Pretty standard gestation period.

For women.

[retrocop]

Have some of you mods not heard of the expression ' Morally wrong'?

[ladybirder]

Oh don't go Retro.

[naomi24]

Retro, I didn’t see your post, but please stick around.

[Bobbisox1]

Retro don’t go, you’ve only just came back and you are a good and sensible contributor

[mushroom25]

not sure how long this ban will last. i gather the dummy has been spat out, and the situation described as a "violent act" by a "failed organisation" that was "controlling" the conversation on transgender inclusion, and that the (cycling) racing scene was "dying under its watch" and that British Cycling was engaged in "culture wars".

is British Cycling robust enough to face down being cancelled?

[lankeela]

No doubt a certain ABer will soon be along to defend trans being allowed to take part.

[youngmafbog]

I wonder how long your post will last DD. You are of course 100% correct.

Retro, dont go. Sadly there seems to be a mod or two that are a tad over zealous particularly if you display right wing tendencies.

Stay and fight the good fight Retro!

[naomi24]

DD, those who defend it know they’re being disingenuous, just as they know men aren’t women.

[ToraToraTora]

Yep bang on DD, the lunacy is eclipsed only by those trying to justify it.

Yes, I see the person in question is threatening to go. Well go then.

The alternative is women around the world unite and refuse to compete, after all there is little point if you are competing with effectively a bloke.

A sad,sad state of affairs.
