British Olympic Swimmer Slams Zach Bridges For Undue Advantage In Female Sports

A fresh row has broken out after trans cyclist Emily (born Zach) Bridges laughed off claims she has a competitive advantage over biological women.

In a series of tweets, British Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies joins many critiques saying Bridges is ‘not a woman’, calling her inclusion in women’s sports ‘unfair’.

Davies stated that she would have be banned from competing if she had ‘as much testosterone in my system as Emily Bridges is allowed’.

The former GB swimmer also posted: ‘Emily Bridges has never been barred from sport or ever will be. EB was competing last year & earlier this year successfully in the men’s category. Inclusion is being able to compete, it’s not getting an unfair advantage’.

Davies added: ‘If we get to the point where we can’t talk facts because it might hurt someone’s feeling where the hell is this going to lead us? How can we measure feelings? Why is one person’s feelings more important than another person’s feelings? See… feelings cannot be a measurement of truth.’

Between 1975 and 1985, Davies missed out on a string of medals while competing against East German drug cheats. She now believes there are parallels between the state-sponsored doping campaigns of the Cold War and transgender athletes taking hormone-suppression medication in a quest to win medals in women’s categories.

The issue of trans inclusion reached the mainstream when US trans swimmer Lia Thomas thrashed the female competition and broke numerous records in the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s championships in Atlanta.

Zach Bridges, who came out as a transgender woman in October 2020, made headlines in March when she was barred from competing against Olympic hero Dame Laura Kenny in the British National Omnium Championships at the 11th hour by world governing body UCI.

Many have condemned her Last week’s win in a so-called ‘inclusive’ cycling race against women competitors at Herne Hill velodrome in South-East London.  In second place was Lilly Chant, who is still designated as male on official records despite identifying as a woman. The tournament’s best-performing biological woman, Jo Smith, won bronze.

During a wide-ranging interview about the controversy and trans inclusion in women’s sporting events, Bridges said he had suffered threats after Boris Johnson declared that ‘biological men shouldn’t compete in women’s sports’.

Bridges insists that the science suggesting that trans women have a competitive advantage over women because they have been through male puberty is irrelevant and laughable.
