   @JustinMac84 By the second paragraph (and sentence) they have used the transphobic dogwhistle "biological women" and if this is not a red flag for you personally, you have some 101 shit to complete before engaging on this topic

     @tillybridges In what way is the article transphobic? The position of the charity is reported, the justification for the position is reported, the opposition is reported and the motivation for the opposition including encouragement to trans women wanting to embrace the sport is reported. I'm failing to see a lack of balance or a presence of discriminating bias.

     hey cis friends

     when i say we need you to be an accomplice, not an ally

     this is what i mean

     (this article is moderately transphobic, which is no surprise given it's from the BBC, but it's the action of the cis woman who's the focus of it that I'm talking about)
