PETE: A BRITISH VIKING RACE IS
TURNING HEADS OVER ATTEMPTING TO
CREATE A MORE -- RACING
ENVIRONMENT.
THE MEN’S RACE IN THE WOMEN’S
RACE ARE NO MORE.
WITH THIS RADICAL RETHINK OF
WHAT A RACE COULD LOOK LIKE WITH
TRANS CYCLISTS THAT WANT TO
COMPETE IS MEANT TO TAKE VERSUS
SECOND-PLACE.
HERE IS DOUGLAS MURRAY.
I WANT TO SEE WHERE YOU WILL GO
WITH THIS.
I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS
ALL-INCLUSIVE RACE.
>> THIS IS ALL TOO PREDICTABLE.
A FEW YEARS AGO I SAID THE
MOMENT YOU ALLOW BIOLOGICAL MEN
AND WOMEN SPORTS IT IS THE END
OF WOMEN SPORTS.
SINCE THEN WE HAVE SEEN THINGS
LIKE A SWIMMER WHO TOOK FIRST
PLACE IN SWIMMING AND NOW WE
HAVE YET ANOTHER CASE.
MALE CYCLISTS, FEMALE CYCLISTS,
IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SOME
PEOPLE THAT THINK WE WILL NOT BE
A FREE SO SOCIETY UNTIL
BIOLOGICAL MEN STAND ON ALL OF
THE TOP PODIUMS IN EVERY SPORT.
TRANSGENDER ATHLETES, NUMBER
ONE, GREAT, WHAT A TERRIFIC
ADVANCE FOR MINORITY RIGHTS.
NOW IT’S PODIUM 1 AMP PODIUM TO.
UNTIL ALL WOMEN ARE CLEARED FROM
THE PODIUM, WE WON’T BE IN A
FREE AND EQUAL SOCIETY.
I SUSPECT A LOT OF PEOPLE
VIEWING WOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH
THAT.
>> HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A
COUNTERINTUITIVE THOUGHT ON
THAT.
IT IS, SADLY, THE INEVITABLE
EXTINGUISHMENT OF WOMEN SPORTS.
WHEN IT COMES TO BRITISH BIKE
RACE, AT LEAST THERE IS A LEVEL
OF HONESTY TO IT.
WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME CATEGORY.
>> THIS IS LIKE SOME OF THE
MUSIC AWARDS SHOWS.
DROPPING BEST MAIL AND BEST
FEMALE PERFORMER AND SAYING IT
IS ALL GENDER-NEUTRAL.
IN THE END, SOMEBODY SUFFERS FOR
THIS.
IN THE CASE OF SPORTS, IT WILL
KEEP BEING WOMEN.
MEN HAVE A BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE.
IF YOU’VE GROWN UP MALE, THE
MALE BONE STRUCTURE AND BONE
DENSITY, TESTOSTERONE THROUGH
YOUR UPBRINGING, YOU WILL BE AT
AN ADVANTAGE.
WE JUST DON’T REALLY CARE FOR
MALE OR FEMALE CATEGORIES,
THAT’S JUST THE SAME THING.
IT IS THE END OF WOMEN SPORTS.
I DON’T THINK EITHER WOMEN OR
MEN SHOULD BE ACCEPTING OF THAT.
>> I AGREE.
THE TRANS ATHLETES ARE ABOUT TO
LEARN TO WHEN ON THE PODIUM AS
WELL NOW THAT THERE IS ONE
CATEGORY AT LEAST IN THIS RACE.
THE QUEENS FINAL DAY PLATINUM
JUBILEE.
WHAT IS HER TAKE AWAY?
>> AN AMAZING LOCATION.
AN OUTPOURING ADMIRATION OF LOVE
FOR THE QUEEN.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LOOKING AT
THE BALCONY.
NO WAY BRITAIN WILL BE A
REPUBLICAN ANYTIME SOON AND THIS
WAS A REALLY HAPPY CELEBRATION.
THE QUEEN THAT HAS A LOVE OF HER
PEOPLE.
NOT MAKING HERSELF A POLITICAL
FIGURE, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS GONE
THROUGH AMAZING CHANGE, SHE HAS
BEEN THERE AND THE PEOPLE THIS
WEEK HAVE SHOWN THEIR LOVE AND
APPRECIATION FOR THAT.
LONG JEVITY AND PARTISANSHIP.
NOT EASY TO PULL OFF.
I THINK YOU SHOULD WANT TO HEAR
