Debate in Britain about transgender rights has become ever more acrimonious, and others in Johnson's government have said it should be left to sporting bodies to decide on who gets to compete.

LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Wednesday people born male should not compete in female sporting events, after a transgender cyclist was barred from a women's race.

"And I also happen to think that women should have spaces which are, whether it's in hospitals or prisons or changing rooms or wherever, which are dedicated to women," Johnson added. The flip-flop came a day after Conservative MP Jamie Wallis became the first British lawmaker to openly declare they were transgender, prompting messages of support from colleagues including Johnson."We will have a ban on gay conversion therapy, which to me is utterly abhorrent," he stressed.

The 21-year-old said she felt "harassed and demonised" after the UCI decision, which overruled clearance given to Bridges by British Cycling, the main governing body for the sport in the UK.
