Victory! Man-Champ Can't Compete as a Woman After Female Cyclists Threaten Boycott
PJ Media ^ | 04/01/2022 | Kevin Downey Jr.

In a victory for female athletes, champion male cyclist Zach Bridges, who now prefers to be called Emily, won’t be able to race against real women.

Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body for international competitive cycling, made the call that Bridges won’t be allowed to compete against real women. The decision was made after female cyclists threatened to boycott the race en masse.

“It’s not transphobic to want fair sport—it’s anti-female to not,” said Sharron Davies, a former Olympic swimmer for England

Davies believes the threat of a boycott helped UCI make its decision.

"It would not have been fair to ask Laura Kenny and the other women cyclists that Bridges would have come up against to have to race a rival with the advantages of a biological man,” she continued. “No amount of testosterone reduction can mitigate that, but we’re being told to turn a blind eye to science and biology, to keep quiet and suck it up.”

FACT-O-RAMA! Zach/Emily Bridges has been taking female hormone therapy since 2021 but competed against men just a few weeks ago.

The decision is a victory for women athletes worldwide, but is it permanent?

Lesbians are going to have to decide whether or not to abandon the male homo/tranny alliance, and they’re going to have to decide soon.

It will last until the Federales either imprison all the REAL women as "haters" or fine all the REAL women into penury for a "hate crime."

Women should just refuse to compete against men.

That is why we started women’s sports.

Some women are, finally, catching on the fact that the left wants to erase them.

They're the only ones that can turn the tide.

Not just there. I think we have had 3 “GOP” Governors veto bills that would outlaw this BS.

Somebody on here suggested renaming them “XX” and “XY” sports. Seems like that would fix it.

Finally, we have some female competitors who have spoken out and let the world know they'll refuse to participate in this farce. If this begins to happen regularly, the trans movement will be stopped in its tracks.

Way to go, ladies!

Absolutely. I've been saying this ever since that "Lia" Thomas, who pretends to be a woman, started beating real females in the swimming events on a regular basis.

As I’ve said many times, the women have the power to stop this nonsense if they’d just use it. Quit. Stop competing. Create their own games and their own championships. Shun all freaks and ignore critics. It would take courage but we all know women who have more balls than some men, especially this type.
