Transgender cyclist ‘harassed’ and disqualified from championships
A transgender cyclist has been barred from competing in a championship, claiming she has been ‘harassed and demonised’
Transgender cyclist Emily Bridges has slammed the media following the recent national championships in the United Kingdom.
Bridges says she was “harassed and demonised” by journalists and reporters after the world cycling’s governing body ruled she couldn’t compete.
Bridges was gearing up to race against fellow British Olympic stars, including superstar Laura Kenny.
On Wednesday, the governing body told her she was ineligible, just days before the event was due to commence that weekend.
In a statement, the 21-year-old says she has been in contact with British Cycling and the UCI for the past six months, ahead of what was supposed to be her first race in a women’s event.
“I have provided both British Cycling and the UCI with medical evidence that I meet the eligibility criteria for transgender female cyclists”.
Emily bridges statement
Officials made the final call after other cyclists threatened to boycott the race if Bridges competed.
Reports suggest Bridges has been undertaking hormone therapy since last year to reduce testosterone levels.
Bridges says she has had to deactivate her social media platforms to stop receiving abuse and dangerous threats following the disqualification.

U.S. pushes Ukraine toward controversial peace plan with Russia
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.
As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.
Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.
The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.
Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.
Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
