I read a piece in the Guardian, that bulwark of faux liberalism and authentic misogyny, that referred to Bridges, and how her (sic) dreams of competing in the women's category had been ended. Yet they don't talk about the ruined dreams female athletes had of first positions and medals, which could become reality, if they weren't obligated to compete against biological males. They don't matter enough, their aspirations don't matter enough not when trans rights, inclusiveness and gross unfairness always comes first.
Bridges can't tolerate being told 'no', it becomes an 'act of violence', but he still gets a voice. I think this arsehole also made a reference to genocide. Anyone uttering anything so ludicrous should be immediately dismissed. He's not a moron, he knows he's talking bullshit, but he and others like him have been having things their way for so long, they don't have to modify what they say or how they say it.
No one benefits from hearing anything they say, but it does provide another window into the deluded, deranged and loathsome world of gender identity despotism that Bridges and his co-conspiritors are determined takes precedence over the one where, in general, women aren't reduced to body parts and clothing and LGB people aren't either an inconvenience or are another variety transphobic bigots. I'm wondering when this world, inhabited by the most marginalised and discriminated against people ever, never to be equalled let alone topped, will be told to fuck right off.
It's great that you've complained to cycling bodies about gender related policies. You might be right about Bridges, but I find it hard to believe that an adult who I assume has been to school and perhaps went on to further education, isn't aware he's misusing the word 'genocide' to an absurd extent. Bad enough violence, but genocide, ffs. Obviously, he intends to offend those who disagree with him, and clearly, is prepared to do so by any means available to him. But his offensiveness to people who have witnessed genocide or whose families were destroyed as the result of genocide is abhorrent. He should be made to account for it, or at least challenged. The same should apply to every one of these repugnant people.
Bridges' reference to "genocide" is partly the product of the childish tantrum he throws, in a narcissistic rage, at not getting his way -- after being over-indulged & having favours withdrawn; and partly it's a ritual affirmation of belonging to the gender cult & sharing its phobic indoctrination. The fact that it's ludicrous hyperbole and highly offensive to anyone eg Jews whose family might have perished in a real genocide, probably doesn't occur to him. It's simply consistent with the "most maginalised and vulnerable" group self-ID plus black-and-white cult thinking that anyone who doesn't agree with them must want to exterminate them. That could start to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more we hear from and about this loathsome cult.
It's a very immature response, and one he feels able to make because his older sibling(s) - the cult he's part of and its members will protect him by threatening and pushing around anyone who's instrumental in denying him whatever he wants or challenges him. And it'll do this for him providing he recognises its authority and is, at all times, acquiescent.
Absolutely, it’s incredibly offensive but that’s what the genderborg are like… totally narcissistic to the point where they are able to delude themselves that they are right. Its good that they’re speaking up more. It enables us to point out how insane they all are.
Great piece, Radhwa and I agree with both of you . Well done, TT, writing to British Cycling - I must do that myself.
One of the things ( there are many about gender identity) that really infuriates me is that we, as ever, present full detailed arguments and, in response...well, they don't respond they just insult us and make outrageous and ridiculous allegations! To give just one example ( there are many, of course) Kathleen Stock spends from pages 83 to 89 laying out full scientific detail as to why male athletes will always beat female athletes. Mr Bridges does not respond to that but throws out insults.
Turning to his allegations it further infuriates me when they refer to 'genocide' ( or Nazi) which is a shocking insult to the victims of the actual holocaust and their families and friends. Their use of language is gobsmacking - erasing our words 'woman', 'man', 'lesbian', 'gay ' etc and trying to make existing words have different meanings, 'violence', 'genocide', 'misogynist' ...priceless in a recent interview where Stephanie Davies-Arai gets accused by a TIM of being a 'misogynist' - 'but I'm a woman' she responds!
Grrr will stop now
Did you see Menno's late night post about Susie Green and Tavistock? There is a good piece in the Telegraph which I will report on later.
Meant to add that some commentators talk about a 'toxic debate' which I always try and correct: they are 'toxic' and don't debate, we are reasoned and do debate.
I originally wrote to British cycling when the Bridges story first broke so they sent me their new policies last week. I think they thought that they deserved plaudits. I replied that it was a good start but that grassroots sport also needs to be protected and that their changing room policy was outrageous. I also said that they obviously don’t care that much for women because it took them so long to make what should have been, a pretty much instantaneous decision. My patience has run dry and I am not prepared to accept the kind of compromise where females lose out.
Sorry Dusty, have no idea how to watch the live steam.
Haven’t seen Menno yet but did see the Davies Arai interview🙄
Am looking forward to Mermaids and the Tavistock copping it 🤞
And btw where is Gary Lineker on sport? There’s a new short video with some sports people and Fair Play for Women, Daley Thompson, Sharron Davies and others. He spouts about everything else, why not female sports?
MRA's have become very confident, it's lead to them being more vocal and ridiculously overreaching themselves and revealing what they believe, are demanding and how far they are prepared to go in order to get what they want. They aren't part of the core of those who developed the strategies that has lead to this place, if they were they wouldn't publically use such incautious language or make the audacious claims they do. But they feel secure, as though all the work has been done, but that can't happen unless they have widespread agreement, and they don't.
There are captured institutions and the consequences of that are becoming increasingly apparent to people who didn't believe supposed GI issues had anything to do with them. Then they see men in women's prisons, boys being permitted to use female lavatories and changing rooms in schools entirely based on their say so - they're now girls - with or without the awareness of their parents. Or Drag Queen storytime intended for very young children in schools and libraries, etc. What conclusions do most people draw when they see police cars, buses and trains carriages painted in trans and new Pride flag colours. Or when, in some areas they encounter a zebra crossing now appearing in the same colours, so that even crossing the fucking road is politicised. That's the kind of stuff that makes people realise that what's happening is very much to do with them.
Radhwa could I post a couple of bits from your excellent comments later . I could just say 'a reader writes' or could name you ? I know people can see your comments but they might not always read the comments and your pieces are excellent and would like to highlight them so to speak
Let’s hope you’re right. More people are waking up to it but I’m not sure there’s an understanding yet of just how deep and far reaching gender ideology is.
I think probably not, but I do feel it's the beginning of significant change. There is going to be less inclination to tip toe around these misogynistic narcissists. There are far too many people censoring themselves, justifying and qualifying completely unremarkable and healthy opinions, such as not wanting men in women's spaces, by first offering assurances that they aren't transphobes, bigots or neo-Nazis, etc. Don't go there, because to the kind who enjoy putting women through the wringer, they will identify anything they wish as transphobic. These people, mostly men, are insatiable, as anyone who's ended up offering them grovelling apologies has found. The beginning of the end results of various initiatives -social, legal, medical and personal will be there for everyone to see, it's already happening, but in the next few years or so it's going to become very plain to people who previously comforted themselves with the 'live and let live' mantra.

Fantastic comment. Have to disagree on just one thing Radhwa, I think Bridges is a moron who totally believes every piece of crap he spouts.
I’ve written to the cycling people to complain about their outrageous plan for mixed changing rooms.
It's great that you've complained to cycling bodies about gender related policies.

Hi both
I agree with all of that 😎
Dusty
NB I haven’t finished with Emily Bridges yet! See next post 😎

Do you know how we can watch LWS BTW??
Thanks again both

Hi TT
Well done again re British Cycling.
Is there an e-mail and a person I should write to at British Cycling?
I agree re Gary L - he is good at shooting his mouth off about other matters!!
My wife is trying to find LWS on Twitter.

MRA's have become very confident, it's lead to them being more vocal and ridiculously overreaching themselves and revealing what they believe, are demanding and how far they are prepared to go in order to get what they want.

Yes, certainly, you can name me if you like, I don't mind.
Let’s hope you’re right. More people are waking up to it but I’m not sure there’s an understanding yet of just how deep and far reaching gender ideology is.
On fire, Radhwa 😎
And spot on 😎
