Organizers of the British National Omnium Championship barred a
transgender cyclist from competing in its women's race Saturday.
The Union Cycliste Internationale announced Wednesday that Emily
Bridges, a biological man who began identifying as a woman in
2020, was ineligible to compete. The UCI's national championship
would have been Bridges's first women's race.
Bridges finished 43rd out of 45 riders in the elite men's
criterium at the Loughborough Cycling Festival last May and was
second to last in the Welsh National Championship men's road
race in September, a 12-kilometer lap behind the winner. This
past February, the 21-year-old won the men's British
Universities Championship for Cycling.
These competitions as a male cyclist reportedly disqualified
Bridges from the national championship.
British Cycling, Britain's main governing body for the sport,
issued a statement saying it was "engaged closely with Emily and
her family regarding her transition" and "in close discussions
with the UCI."
"We acknowledge the decision of the UCI with regards to Emily’s participation, however we fully recognise her disappointment
with today’s decision," the statement reads. It goes on to call
for a coalition of transgender and nonbinary cyclists.
In an Instagram post on a now-private account, Bridges wrote,
"I've been relentlessly harassed and demonised."
All In Racing, a pro-LGBT initiative for cyclists, also released
a statement calling Bridges "a talented bike racer and
incredibly brave."
"Emily's story this week is not about the place of trans women
in cycling," the group wrote. "Rather, it's about an
enthusiastic racer with a deep love of the sport who has been
continuously and rigorously complying with the rules and
regulations set about by the sport's governing bodies, only to
have her opportunity taken from her at the last minute without a
full and complete justification."
Bridges claimed in the private social media post that the UCI
had access to all the necessary medical evidence that made
cyclists eligible to race.

There is no such thing as a "trans woman" except in the mind of the afflicted. You are the gender of which you are born for life, and no
amount of pretense and silly social likes will ever change that.
