'Dumped by email,' says cyclist's mother as British Cycling bans transgender riders from competition

British Cycling has suspended its transgender and non-binary participation policy after the sport's world governing body banned a trans rider from competing in a women's event in the UK earlier this month.
The sport's governing authority in the UK said Friday that it had voted in favor of an "immediate suspension" of its current policy, which it said was "unfair on all women riders."
The decision came days after transgender cyclist Emily Bridges said she had been "harassed and demonised" after the UCI, world cycling's governing body, ruled she couldn't compete at the National Omnium Championships in the UK on April 2.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
