British Cycling bars transgender women from competing in female category

British Cycling will ban transgender women from competing in competitive women's events and create an open category for all genders, ending the hopes of cyclist Emily Bridges of participating in women's competitions.
The policy change was announced following a nine-month review and consultation, and will be implemented by the end of the year. British Cycling apologized for the uncertainty and upset caused by the suspension of their transgender and non-binary participation policy in April 2022.
The new policy only applies to British Cycling events and is aimed at promoting inclusivity and fairness in competition.
