Transgender women banned from competitive female cycling events by national governing body. The move, which is set to take effect by the end of the year and only covers British Cycling races, ends the hopes of Emily Bridges, who set a national junior men's record in 2018 and came out as a transgender woman in 2020.

That's irrelevant propaganda
Post the regulatories to proof what you claim, or we know by experience that you are lying.
I am not honored. I am not proud of myself at all. I believe other transgender athletes would feel the same way. They may not want to admit it, but they're being selfish. There is no honor as an athlete in that," she said, referring to international transgender athletes who have sparked heated debate about the fairness of their competing against biological women after transitioning

For those with intelectual integrity here is the article with the interview done by the korean times from june 7. 2023.
interview by the korean times
This is an interesting quote.
"Some people might ask, 'Why should we do that for only one person?' because I am the only transgender athlete in Korea so far. But if we lower the bar, more will join. The room will quickly fill up if we allow more people to compete in sports and let them live their dreams,"
You're pundit story is like 3 nodes of propaganda spins away and you dare to make yourself an opinion on what is actually happening....
When fox broke the story a week later they just so happen to forget to quote her full interview, what a surprise....
When she crossed the finish line in the women's race, she was "more relieved than triumphant," because she felt she finally made her point about male physical superiority and gender inclusion in sports. At the same time, Na felt sorry for the female cyclists who competed against her and offered them energy drinks as a kind of apology during the race.

The main story is not something YOU declare by ignoring everything else...
The main story is what she did and said, not how you want to spin it...

I'm not bothered about regulations on transgender dynamics. They are needed.
I'm bothered about people lying online on what those regulations imply.
Like I have caught you doing...

Allowing men who have transitioned to compete against women is discrimination against women. You can't try to help one group of people by discriminating against another.
I think everyone has the same rights, and these transgender women also have a right to compete, there is a solution, but this isn't it. You can't tell girls they can do anything, be anything, achieve anything... except. Except when this happens. Except when a man transitions and then uses natural advantages against you. Then you're number two and you have to accept it.
That's not fair.
I don't know what the solution is, but having transitioned men compete against women isn't the right one.
