British Cycling opens up women’s cycling to men in order to be fair to those poor TiMs, who apparently play sports with their gender identities, not their bodies

Remember how these issues used to be dismissed? Like noooo, trans women just want to be left alone! They'd never try to take over women's sports or anything, you are just being paranoid!

"I JUST WANNA PEE" - one of the biggest cons in the history of women's rights.

And now when you point that out they scream transphobia and that women (evil terfs) are being "exclusive" and are denying human rights as long with getting them killed with words. But no. It was just the bathroom and to be left alone all they wanted lol

This is re-peaking me over and over. What do these males think that forcing themselves into women’s spaces will achieve? No one is going to respect their achievements because the average person can see they are men and thus they have an unfair physical advantage. Is anyone starting a petition to fight this?

IIRC, Save Women's Sports had a bunch of prominent female athletes sign a letter to the US university athletic association, the NCAA.

So yes, Save Women's Sports in the US is fighting it, and now there's a chapter in Australia/New Zealand.

Also, Fair Play for Women in the UK is fighting it.

As I posted, Nashua, New Hampshire in the US just took down a banner that said "Save Women's Sports" and "Woman- Adult Human Female" under the guise that the organization Save Women's Sports is transphobic.

Save Women's Sports is an organization simply dedicated to preserving women's sports for women.

So what the city of Nashua is saying is that men's desires are more important than women's rights, and tacitly that women should have no rights if any man wants them.

Vile misogyny in a dress.

Honestly I think its going to be a shit few years for women's sports, but the more the TiMs push into it the more everyday people are going to be exposed to the absolute ridiculousness of it. It absolutely shouldn't be happening but I'm at least hoping it carries with it its own seeds of destruction

The Olympics would have peaked a huge % of the world. Women's rights to sports, yet another COVID casualty.

I'm in a big fight with the sport's reporters I thought were my friends about this on twitter. All of them men. Nobody will admit to writing that bullshit article at Sky Sports.

We need sponsors to cancel. If companies keep up the "we're woke now" BS and don't lose a fortune from the "get woke, go broke" pattern, this crap will continue. If there are no sponsors, these sports all cease.
