Emily Bridges, cyclist
Professional cyclist Emily Bridges never wanted to be a campaigner. Before May this year, she only had one goal: competing for Great Britain at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Then the British Cycling Federation banned transgender athletes from the sport. Now, the Welsh 22-year-old is fighting for inclusion for herself and other transgender sportspeople. “It’s very scary at the moment, but I genuinely believe that we will win,” says Bridges of the battle, which has seen her face “death threats”. Behind the scenes, she’s donating muscle samples to Loughborough University research to see, once and for all, if transgender athletes do have the “unfair advantage” some claim. What’s next? “To fight the decision legally, in the courts.”
