To celebrate the Daily Outrage papers in the UK fuming this weekend, and probably every weekend from now on, I’ve picked up this from the library. The right wing nutters are in meltdown😳. Man with no apparent job bringing his foreign wife and kids here how very dare he !!!

Kasia tried to go around the outside of Celia, a dodgy manoeuvre into a downhill 90 degree corner. She never got her bars in front of the French rider which might've supported her priority claim. If Gery had braked mid corner/changed her line she risked falling. Taking out everyone behind Demi. 🤔

So which is it CyclingUK ?Women only or women led because we remember your participation in trans exclusion with the 100 Women in Cycling debacle. www.bikeradar.com/news/cycling...

Cycling UK’s exclusion of trans women from award prompts winners to withdraw in protest | BikeRadar
The cycling charity’s 100 Women in Cycling prize doesn’t include trans women, following legal advice, which has led to a backlash from the winners

When you thought the UCI couldn't stoop any lower. The race licence means you can be woken up at night for a blood sample, have someone watch you urinate and give your location every day. Now if you're female someone can inspect your tits. That's very well but equality demands reciprocity.

This past weekend I could’ve went to Wales for the British Cycling champs and pretended to be ok standing near the transphobes who actively excluded me. Instead marshalling for this was much cooler

For some pro racer/ TdF vibes try a water soaked small microfibre towel inside the crash helmet, pour cold water on head as and when needed. It's almost like living the dream, just don't get your bidons mixed up 🤯

Certainly be a better listen than having to hear the signatory of the transphobic letter to the UCI over on the 'main channel'. The one with the Thatcher reference who always gets wheeled out for the cobbled races. I'm done with these people's beliefs limiting trans life and human rights.

Not just trans kids, but the whole community. The likes of Sex Matters, LGB Alliance, EHRC, Starmer, Streeting, Phillipson, The Telegraph, The Times, etc.: all would love to say this, but they know it would go down with most people like a bucket of cold sick.

Starmer ain't no Winston Churchill according to Trump. If WW2 is the comparison then Donald ain't no Frankiln D. Roosevelt. FDR is regarded as the 3rd best US President ever whilst Trump is the 3rd worst. But he is the only convicted felon🕵️‍♂️. Vietnam was spared the wrath of Private Bone Spurs

‘Potentially’doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Maybe you would like to remind everyone of the trans cricketers who have been dominating the women’s game ? As for those non competitive club members being without value or worth suggests a worrying environment.

Make sure to complain to the BBC on this one. Here's what I put down This is not how I view SM at all, but it's how SM presents itself as a charity and how BBC editors will see it
Sex Matters is a charity that is set up to provide legal support in human rights and equality law cases. This is where its expertise lies and how its charitable purposes and objectives are outlined. It is not an LGBT charity and has no expertise or involvement in healthcare. 

It is not acceptable that they are being quoted in this article providing an opinion on the efficacy of treatment, of which they have no business commenting on. Specifically the quote from Maya Forstater:

"It is a wasted opportunity to rethink a failed treatment model."

Neither Forstater nor anyone in her organisation is equipped to make the judgement that trans healthcare is a "failed treatment model" and, therefore, should not have been asked to comment nevermind have it published

Complaint to the BBC Peggie case reporting and here's the reply. Referring to trans people as "biological ---- who identify as---". Ignored the identify slur but using biological is ok as it simplifies things. For clarity from now on chromosomes will define everyone b/c bigots feelings matter

This has to be from the 1980s as the red car is a Citroen BX which first appeared in 1982. The 'Princess' undergoing a bit of work is actually a 1st generation Honda Accord. The chairs are correct for the period with their burnt orange velour 😅

How unconscious bias works. The Guardian demonstrates it with their headline on trans exclusion and adds a sprinkle of racism too. Presumably the tallest child is meant to be the example of transness and not being white makes the 'othering' more obvious.

Folded. The party claiming human rights are amongst their core principles giving way on those basic values is disgraceful.Grow a spine, it’s your party, your rules. As for demographic quotas, instead of the pick n’mix goals try seeing people for their worth rather than what box they tick.

For Trump’s MAGA Olympics what you will need to express your thoughts and values is an appropriate person on the merchandise. Sporty, tall, preferably blonde and female. Cycling has had its woke moment in Rwanda now the time has come to go back to business.

When I began transition at the start of the 2000s the NHS wait was 2 yrs for 1st appointment. Already they tried to limit private care options. Many med professionals have been forced to retire/ stop care by NHS gender bosses. The current GIC system is broken & private care effectively outlawed

It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic. Note the Yahoo article is before Kirk's death, August'25. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
