British Cycling is notoriously uninterested in the women’s sport, or in the views of female cyclists.
Their draft Transgender and Non-binary Participation policy is breathtaking in its determination to prioritise the needs of men who identify as women over those of natal females. For example, staff and volunteers are required to:
- Accept all Participants in the gender they present; verification of their identity should be no more than expected of any other person;
- If asked, explain that there are no restrictions for Transgender and Non-Binary Participants taking part in Recreational Activity;
- Support the Transgender or Non-Binary Participant with their choice of changing facilities.
