To “safeguard the fairness of competition,” British Cycling has barred transgender women from competing in the female division at all competitions.

The governing body’s new rules for competitive events, due to be implemented later this year, will see racing split into “open” and “female” categories, with transgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals and those whose sex was assigned male at birth eligible to compete in the open category.

The female category will remain for those whose sex was assigned female at birth, and transgender men who are yet to begin hormone therapy.

In a statement on Instagram, Bridge called the policy a “violent act”.
