Woman refuses Cycling UK award over trans women being left out - BBC News Claire Sharpe says she disagrees with Cycling UK only naming biological women in their top 100 list.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

As People Mag Points out, a treatment for autism Dr. Oz just announced Trump’s FDA is approving is sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz.

The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated.

Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

Ah, politics the the right way...

I went to a university in Utah 20 years ago. Lost my maga father to it because he was convinced they "brainwashed" me. No evidence. No support. Just that I saw the world differently than him (long story). Some people are genuinely threatened by education of any form.

That was a picture the media ran when publishing the story of the white guy that literally killed the members of his family (also pictured), IIRC

My fear is that people will use this shooting/shooter to divide Americans, attack minorities, and demonize trans people. All of which happened and continue to happen (despite the latter two - and many of the first category- not even being involved.

The governor did not ease any of my fears.

I should have known others saw it as an example and not a parody. My bad.

Yeah, not being complete fucking hypocrites is hard for some of them

Sitting Senator Mike Lee making a joke about the assassination of Minnesota state-representatives of twitter. Very few (if any to be generous) right-wing commentators/politicians condemned his behavior.

Interesting thread.

They didn't seem to mind when there was a sitting US Senator making jokes about the assassinations of democrats in Minnesota.

And his hatred of trans people...

To clarify, I am against violence for even the most hateful of people - I'm talking purely from a target/accuracy perspective.

I suspect they were aiming for the head but didn't adjust 100% for distance (were zeroed at 100 yards) for example.
