I think this article is better, and also goes in more depth on the other women who declined besides Claire Sharpe. The BBC article was difficult to get through.

Yes it was difficult to get through because the mental gymnastics they did to try and make TERFs palatable was more exhausting than cycling itself.

Edit: Yes, that was a much more inspiring and fair coverage. THANKS!
