Emily Bridges has been dominating women's cycling. The rub is other competitors do not think it is fair since Emily was born a man and has the biological benefits men have, such as strength, male puberty, testosterone, and bone density. The International Cycling Union had decided no more: people must compete against their biological gender. Also known as their gender. Bridges is speaking out because being forced to compete against other men is not safe for her.

Here is Bridges taking first place in London's ThunderCrit cycling event. This was from June 2022. Emily had been still registered to compete as a man four months earlier. Cis-women could only compete in the Thunder circuit. Cis-men could only compete in the Lighting circuit. Trans-persons could compete in either. There are no reports of biological women competing as males in the Lighting circuit.

The woman who took second place was also born a man. The third-place woman held her little girl that she biologically gave birth to.

Bridges lamented that this was the end of her elite sporting career. However, ITV reports that British Cycling gave her the option to compete in the 'open' category alongside other transgender women, transgender men, and athletes born biologically male. This sounds to me like what one would call "common ground" if common ground was a thing.

According to Emily, who was a man no less than two years ago, it wouldn't be "safe" for her to compete against other men. It is ONLY safe for him to compete against women s/he has a dominant natural advantage over.

The rules get confusing all over. Take America, for example. Sometimes, when a guy injures a girl in Massachusetts high school sports, it's equity. Other times when a guy injures a girl in Massachusetts high school sports, it's inappropriate. It all depends on if the guy goes through the trouble of identifying as a girl. Does it make sense? No. Also, you're a transphobe.

In fairness to Emily Bridges, she/him hasn't injured anyone. Yet. He/her is simply looking for an unfair advantage over the competition. It wouldn't be safe for they/them to compete without it.
