U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that transgender women should not compete in female sports in comments he said he knew could be seen as 'controversial.'

"I don't think that biological males should be competing in female sporting events. And maybe that's a controversial thing ... but it just seems to me to be sensible," Johnson said during a visit to a hospital in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire on Wednesday, PA media reported.

"But these are complex issues and I don't think they can be solved with one swift, easy piece of legislation. It takes a lot of thought to get this right," he said.by the media after the UCI, world cycling's governing body, ruled she couldn't compete at the National Omnium Championships in the UK over the weekend.

"In that time, I have provided both British Cycling and the UCI with medical evidence that I meet the eligibility criteria for transgender female cyclists, including that my testosterone limit has been far below the limit prescribed by the regulations for the last 12 months," Bridges said in her statement, which was posted by LGBTQIA+ cycling group PRiDE OUT.

However, the Guardian reported the UCI prevented Bridges from competing because it said she was still registered as a male cyclist and therefore ineligible to compete as a female until her male UCI identification expired.

Right on !!

No kidding. I am sure there are many transgender athletes that would like to be competitive. They need their own competive field

There is still hope

Because, they’ll just beat all the women.

Uk PM is totally right!

If you have a “PP” you’re a boy.. I don’t play pretend for others

I agree.

Correct.

Finally some common sense!!

Penises with penises and vaginas with vaginas.

Transphobes should not be in government.

Everyone should be saying this

He's right

I think if we just stick to regular language when you add Transgender it implies there is some bias to a particular group of people. Just say people with masculine sexual organs should not participate in sports meant for people with feminine sexual organs.

Men should not compete in women's sports because it is incredibly unfair competitively and disrespectful to these women who have gotten to the top of their fields. This is not rocket appliances.

Who the hell cares. It’s only sports men and/or women. If all the sports disappeared it would make a difference to anything

Obviously

Good

Sir…your hair. Sir please…mesmerizing 😵‍💫😵‍💫

And he's correct!

Always use the worst picture when you as a company disagree with their opinion. biastMedia

🤦🏻‍♂️

3 years ago trans rights talk was all about bathrooms now its all about top tier women's sports. It all feels like conservatives put all effort on one wedge issue to keep trans people sub human and all their rights an attack on all women.

Anyone who disagrees with this is delusional.. really.

I really don’t like this guy. But, he just made me not like him even more.

No kidding- because a transgender women is really a man. Give me some of that testosterone therapy so I can build more muscle at the gym.

They shouldn’t. In fairness they should have their own division.

This guy need his head fixed lmao

Sport is for everyone you dont discriminate then it should be even for color people they should not compete what a heck is this this is called DISCRIMINATION

It is an unfair advantage and should not be allowed.

I can't wait till a reporter questions him about this and he does his big foot in mouth trick!

Agreed and

He's right.

Conservatives shouldn't be allowed to use the men's washroom.

Who cares

A little bit of humor (dependent on perspective). 🔽

I agree 100%. It is not fair for the rest of the competitors.

Why we don’t believe in GODs creation. Are we going to change this world upside down?!? Concerning and shameful

Finally!? Words of thruth

God forbid if China or Putin said it. My God,,,they would be called so many names. But UK can ge racist and genocidal and no outrage.

People talk from bothe sides of their mouth on this issue. If they are girls, then they should be able to participate in all girls activities, until their own biological reality privately says NO! If men & women are the same in every way as the argument goes, then why not?

This is why…

Is true. Genius. Who’d a thought 🙄

He’s absolutely right.

Don’t trust anyone with a rat’s nest on their head.

Atleast one leader has the spine to speak the Truth.

If you can be a man but say your a woman to have an advantage and it’s ok, then steroids should be acceptable too.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Isn't it funny how conservatives believe that a man just supervisor even to train women athletes.

This is how I envision a use of social media under free speech should be! Any leadership feedback?

You are heavy cheese on these engines when flipped on others you zap them. Sorry, no harm intended. I am under complete control!

You are a transgender now mr eshak! Good not bad! You know why? I am under complete control! That is why! I see. Thank you 👋😉.

To follow!

Agree

That would be transgender men, a transgender woman would be taking hormones such as testosterone to be more 'manly' a transgender man takes hormones like estrogen to be more feminine, did whoever wrote this fluff even go to school? halfwit CTVTweets CTV educationmatters

Duh. Of course men shouldn't.

Trans is Trans sexually challenged Period like the gay community

Finally someone who believes the science of 'biology' like XX and XY chromosomes. Just because the he now a she wants to compete and out perform a 'real' she is not a 'real' athlete! Stick to the 'male' sports because your XY chromosomes says so. XY means male XX means female.

They are not women so why should they. They can and should compete among transgender women.

👏🏽👏🏽

He is right

Bravo.

Well at least the UK has their heads on straight

No shit !

The only way I would disagree with him is if it ever went the other way. Has a transgender man ever competed at an elite level?

So does the general populous...no Harvard degree needed .

CTV.... paid state grooming... they think pedo is ok too probably

I agree with you 💯%,that's not fair play.

How about PM's should wear hats on unruly bedhead so they don't distract us from their useless banter spewed after rolling out of bed 🤷‍♂️ inclusionforall personalrightsforALL .. even bedheads. Send that guy a touque! One without straws.

Of course they should not compete. Who really thinks that is fair for real women.

And he aint wrong. Regardless of how you want to identify- you are still a BIOLOGICAL MAN which is adventageous against a biological female

Just give transes their own league. Simple. Done. You want people most like their competitors to compete against each other then have a separate mens, womens, and trans league.

No shit

He is correct yep.

Correct

And he is very correct 👍

First comb your hair! It is not the style. Look ridiculous. Depending on medication transgender women should be able to compete. Again depending on meds.

Look like a slob for a world figure.. they must of hauled him out of bed drunk..

I am not, not against this.

ABSOLUTELY

Based. W

In other new water is wet

That headline is absolutely correct. If its a physical sport, a biological male has no business participating with females. This is based on body biology

I agree with Johnson. Just imagine Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive, removing his balls and starts running against women. Transgenders need a category for themselves. It's that simple.

I am surpised no one has started a gofundme to purchase him a brush. Ive tweeted Piers about it but he hasnt answered. PiersMorgan

No shit. This transgender foolishness has gone too far. It’s just ridiculous at this point.

So, whose rights trump the other? If we don’t let transgender females compete with other females, we are being anti-LGBTQ2+.If we do let them compete, we are stepping all over the gains that females have made in the last century.Look at the recent swimming competitions in the US.

Just because a person want to be something else doesn't make it so biologically.

100

Good. Transgender. Still a man or a woman no matter how you look at it.

Yes he is right

This is not a simple question. I fervently support anyone living their lives as a transitioned person, male or female. I am however skeptical of the equality of athletic skill possessed by those of one sex over another. How this is resolved will be an ongoing issue

Amen. Common sense at work.

Get the Fck out of here!! Why? 🤷‍♂️

Or any sports! Should be in a hospital

'Hey man, Who cut your hair'

Agreed.

And I agree.

Chicks with dicks.

I can see the libtarded wome force is strong in this thread .

Thank you! he’s right make a different category…those legit women work there whole lives for a shot at the olympics being destroyed by a bio male is bullshit

Its amazing that this is newsworthy

Hmmm notice how there are not any trans women competing in mens sports , why is that ?

just stick to....barbering

Sadly, someone actually had to say that out loud.

Bravo!!!

He's a Russian asset.

He’s absolutely right.

This is news? This is some abstract idea or philosophy? My God!

Agreed

Imagine the world where obvious things like this have to be said..

100% agree.

Totally agree male and female bodies are different

I disagree... There is no biological difference.

he’s not wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why? Boris Karloff!

Should have separate events for transgender athletes so they are competing with their own peers.

I can finally agree with something.

Have a transgendered tournament instead.

I agree.

He is right..

About time someone in politics wasn’t afraid to say that.

Yup!!! 100% agree

Well no shit

We are going to have six different categories of sports to cover all eventualities. Also, one for those who have changed their mind and gone back and another 'open' category. There may be a category for organ receivers, but the racial component may be too controversial.

And the spaces he says should be dedicated to women…. We use to have them. They were called bathrooms. And in Canada we’ve flipped that on it’s head as we march full steam ahead to Wokeville.

True!

There is still some common sense in the world! Even though this guy only exercises it about 50% of the time.

So now science doesnt matter I guess?

He’s not wrong…

Agreed. Sorry not sorry. It's a touchy subject but yes most definitely should not be allowed. Or the groups need to be mixed and based on size/proportions. Outside of the physical activities there should be zero issues with this.

And he would be right

And they shouldn’t finally a politician had said what most of us have been saying

Correct.

AGGREEEDD

Perfect. God still rules. The abominable behaviour must stop

Amen

Lefties…. Attack!!!!! Unless their trans dudes in dresses…. They will be able to kick your ass!

100%

May as well have an all drugs allowed Olympics.

How dare he tell the truth! Who does he think he is jk_rowling or something?!

They should have separate group.

Good on him. It is about time politicians took a stand against this discrimination of real women. Sorry if you rock a penis & an Adam's apple a woman you are not.

Agreed.

He went there, eh!! These days it's not about being right or wrong, it's about appearances. The woke world won't like this but he's right. Can't imagine Justin going there, no stones.

Well BorisJohnson is 200 percent right!

Male-Female have a huge physical advantage. No, they shouldn't be allowed to compete. Female-Male is a different story.

Sanity at last.

OR, get rid of gendered sports and make it a free-for-all! Now that might get interesting 🤔🤷‍♂️

👏🏼

Why is this even news? It shouldn't even be questioned.

What about transgender men. Where should they compete? How about a transgender sports category?

2 step Canadian response: (1) & CBCNews to report on his links to Neo Nazis and extremists; (2) Trudeau to freeze his bank accounts.

Hell Yeah! Female sports are dying because men jumping ship and taking it away

That’s the common sense take. All respect to transgenders but they need their own division. 100% unfair to women.

Man is man, women is women. PERIOD, end of story.

Agree

He also thinks he has great hair so…

He also doesn't know how to brush his hair and Covid is running rampant in the UK right now......so there's that.

I think Boris should have better hair but we don’t all get what we want do we
