Despite a trophy cabinet bulging more than the elastic on Uccio’s Y-fronts winning an FIM world championship has somehow eluded British ace Bradley Smith.
But we at MotoGPNews believe we have a way to put right this terrible misjustice: entering him/her into the Women’s Motorcycling World Championship.
Inclusion
Last weekend Dorna and the FIM announced that the Women’s Motorcycling World Championship would begin in 2024.
Currently all female riders are unfairly hindered in GP racing by being given the exact same opportunities as male riders. Furthermore, in nearly all cases, preferential sponsorship and media exposure are the norm due to the marketing perks associated with a female rider – as Carmen Jordan’s career more than proves. Dorna hopes that the Women’s Motorcycling World Championship will help address this terrible imbalance.
Diversity
Such a progressive move by Dorna, however, does open the backdoor (as it were) to a sneak attack from the trans community.
Pre 2005 any bloke dressing up as a woman was rightfully labelled as a ‘weirdo’ and given a good kicking to help ‘calibrate’ their ideas.
Sadly this has now all come to an end to the point any bloke, beard or not, can put on a wig, forget how to reverse park and call themselves a woman. And it’s illegal to not accept them as female. Indeed there’s currently nothing more aggressive than the trans community who say acceptation is the key and anyone who doesn’t accept that should be killed.
Toxic masculinity
Step forward Communard’s lead singer Bradley Smith. The whiney voiced Oxfordshire rider only needs to identify as a woman to be allowed into the series! Think this couldn’t happen? Guess again – already the sports of swimming and weightlifting are dominated by trans athletes – ie men in wigs.
Bradders has a clear opportunity to identify as a woman (maybe even a woman of colour in case of more privileges) and claim his position on the grid. His street-cred may take a hit, but given its current none-lofty status this would be a risk worth taking.
White patriarchy
The Women’s Motorcycling World Championship is set to last two years before the owners file for bankruptcy. This is because, despite all the flag waving and unicorn-based fanfares no one will actually watch the racing. You only need to study the absolutely dreadful ‘W Series’ for further details.
The motorcycling racing audience is a majority of overweight, white males with depleting hairlines. The woke brigade, meanwhile, couldn’t care less about watching a race preferring to spend their vast leisure time posting videos on TikTok about how offended they are about being misgendered whilst ordering their tofu ramen.
So ultimately no one will be interested in the series.
Cultural appropriation
All this means that Bradley probably has just two seasons at best to claim the championship before the inevitable folding of the series. And when this does happen we’ll all be too busy been accused of sexism and racism by the likes of Whoopi Goldberg to congratulate the British rider.
Conclusion
We at MGPN would be proud to back Bradley’s brave and courageous move to come out as a woman and, coincidentally, take her first world title.
Sebastian Piffleton take
“Being the most progressive journalist on the planet I was instrumental in the implementation of this series. I may not have been named in person but my many thousand of tweets about women in MotoGP (and any other pointless crap I can think of) more than proves my point.
However I am appalled at the idea of Bradley Smith pretending to be a woman just to enter the series. We don’t need fake men. We instead need the real fake men who understand what it’s like to be a woman and the difficulties that brings.
As someone progressive once said via twitter – one is not born, but rather becomes a woman.
That person was of course me. And I should know as I always drink a diet coke when I’m shovelling down another king size pizza with halloumi fries.”
