Transgender cyclist shows how unhinged the movement is

British Cycling has reviewed its rules and decided that, shockingly, people must compete against members of their own biological sex.

They were forced to make this obvious move because they exist in a world where this is not blindingly obvious. Sports organizations have been caving to the alphabet mob and allowing men to participate in women’s sports and after a comprehensive review of the evidence they concluded that women and men have different physical makeups and hence have different physical capabilities.

Who knew?

This decision is controversial, not because most people agree that mentally ill men should participate in women’s sports, but rather because the alphabet crowd is crazy enough to throw tantrums when their outrageous demands are not met.

Transgender cyclist “Emily” Bridges is just a bit upset, probably because transgender cyclist Bridges is not capable of competing against other men. As a male cyclist he is outstanding in the women’s category; competing against men? Not so much.

Bridges predictably went crazy with rage, making all sorts of ridiculous claims about “violence” and “genocide,” as if asking him to abide by common sense rules is a special imposition upon him. He may not have noticed but 99.9999999% of British people also are unable to compete with the top cyclists in the country, and they are somehow surviving without apparent physical damage and death. If Bridges can hack it as a male athlete, which he IS, then he will be able to compete. Otherwise? He will be just like the rest of us who are unable to get the money and accolades that accrue to top athletes.

Literal genocide! Violence!

His reaction, posted to Instagram, was a masterclass in gaslighting and victim appropriation.

British Cycling has just banned us from racing. This was to be announced at 11 am today. but I’m done with this vhole conversation being on their terms, and being controlled by them.

They have no authority to control this conversation anymore. Does it surprise me that the same organisation funded directly by a state that ships vulnerable refugees to Rwanda, violently clamps down on any political dissent that they disapprove of, or starves their people? No, of course, it doesn’t. The same organisation with actively homophobic coaches, who encouraged eating disorders and did nothing about any bullying between its riders. The same organisation where elite riders influence their policy when it doesn’t fit their entitled and narrow worldvier, with no ability for nuance or any desire to question the view that they’ve been told since birth. Journalists have been circling like vultures at a corpse for the last few days, gagging at the opportunity for a story or comment. British Cycling is a failed organisation, the racing scene is dying under your watch and all you do is take money from petrochemical companies and engage in culture wars. You don’t care about making sport more diverse. vou want to make yourself look better and you’re even failing at that. Cycling is still one of the whitest, straightest sports out there, and you couldn’t care less.

This is a violent act. When the government is expressing admiration towards Ron Desantis* fascist state which kidnaps children, and is itching to pass legislation to ban us from public life, this is a violent act. British Cycling are supporting this, they are furthering a genocide against us. Bans from sport is how it starts, look at what is going on in America. It starts with sports bans, then youth and general healthcare and then bans from public life through bathroom bans. Just look at the situation, and who is on your side. When literal Nazis conspiracy theorists and those who want our eradication are on your side, surely that should give you pause?

This is quite a series of claims.

“Dude, you must compete against your own sex.”

“Help, I am literally getting killed along with everybody I know and love.”

You can see what is going on here, and it is the same with every alphabet person’s claims. When they speak they appropriate words and pervert their meaning, but expect you to think the words mean what they do normally. Words, like sex, become transmogrified, and we are supposed to accept that what is blatantly false is actually true.

In common parlance “genocide” has this meaning: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.” The alphabet crowd’s definition: “I cannot displace actual women from spaces reserved exclusively for them.”

In a rational world, these two definitions seem somewhat different. In fact, they want you to believe the former is happening–you still speak English–while in fact, the latter is actually happening. They depend upon English to exist in your mind while actually meaning something else entirely. If we knew what they meant by the word we would shrug and say: “makes sense to me.” Yet they expect us to be outraged because they appropriated a word and destroyed its meaning,.

Our response should be: get help or “You are clearly deranged; they have drugs for that.”

Any parent who doesn’t want to raise a spoiled brat knows that giving in to a tantrum promises more of them. You get more of what you reward.

Bridges says that he has been driven out of public life, and I beg to differ.

He has been indulged and even celebrated. He has been coddled, told how “stunning and brave” his actions are, and appears to thrive on the attention. He has posted on his Instagram brag after brag about how he is great and recognized as such, and being subject to 1/10 the vitriol he regularly spews at people who are attached to reality he crumbles and throws a tantrum.

As for any “harm” this move causes him, he simply ignores the fact that his entire life has been made by harming women who have been helpless to object. He vilifies them for merely asking that sports be fair. He slanders everybody who disagrees with him is a Nazi. A simple “no” is “violence?” Only in his mind, which is clearly broken.

Bridges will be called a martyr, and I expect that British Cycling will pay a high price for being sane in an insane world.

Good on them for deciding to pay that price.

Civilization is a choice, and as with all choices, there are prices to be paid. Choosing to give to insanity has a higher price, though, and we should refuse to pay it. Countless women and children have sacrificed to the alphabet gods already. We can’t repay them what they deserve, but we can stop the harm. The damage has been permanent.

It is an irony that people who literally must mutilate themselves say that is “who they really are.” It is the opposite of the case. Getting healthy body parts and permanently medicalizing one’s life seems a strange way to be who nature intended you to be.

Thinking this is deranged, and we must treat it as such, lest you get more derangement. Bridges needs treatment for mental illness, not indulgence in his delusion. It will benefit him in the long run, and benefit society in both the short and long term.
