Roxy (Roger) Bombardier took 🥇in the women's fat bike category at the Ice Weasels Cometh cyclocross race on Saturday.

🤔I wonder if there's something that gives men an advantage in maneuvering a fat bike over cx barriers.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Eddie is standing against Tom Gray For Brighton Pavilion, Birgit Miller, and Lucy Halliwell, for the LP nomination.
So what's the evidence that Eddie would be a *better* advocate for housing in Brighton than any of those three who, er, actually live here?

Hi Eddie Izzard for Brighton Pavilion I’m a constituent of Brighton Pavillion. Women here have the very modest aspiration of just one single sex support group for sexual violence survivors. Let’s have a conversation. How can I reach you?

I wrote about how by defining women's sporting categories by gender identity doesn't just ignore physical differences, but disrespects the way in which female athletes have been trailblazers in rejecting femininity-based definitions of womanhood unherd.com/thepost/why-wo…

Here's another 'Gosh, well, we're so grateful and honoured!' tweet from Eddie Izzard. It's a feature, not a bug.
There's a lot of reasons to oppose his nomination but this condescension, this *noblesse oblige* nonsense is striking.

Sorry, but as a pledge, this is pathetic.
*If I am elected as an MP I will do the bare minimum to meet the responsibilities of the post*

Well, thanks ever so.

This is tin eared Eddie Izzard

Been overwhelmed by how much support I’ve gotten from Young Labour locally.

To have Tom, their Chair and fellow musician, support me is a real honour.

Thanks Tom Chatfield!

Wonderful that Carmen is backing me.

Her long commitment to Labour politics and local government is something to learn from - not to mention she’s a really great person.

The line:

Males who have, via male development, got longer bones, bigger muscles, a larger lung surface and sharper hand-eye coordination *than would have been acquired in the absence of male development* should not be in female sports.

At last a sports governing body will be held to account. Every NGB that allows men to take part in women’s categories should be putting their house in order. This has gone on too long. Brava to the women pool players who’ve said ‘enough is enough’.

'Peter Daly, of Doyle Clayton solicitors who represents the players, said: 'The advantages all males have because of their sex... limit women's ability to qualify and succeed in those competitions. The admission of males into women's sport is therefore discriminatory.''
