The article doesn't include a quote from Sharpe using the terminology biological women, so I'm not sure why you've chosen that wording in your post body. She says at one point "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

I didn't. Lemmy did automatically

Weird, and kind of gross, that BBC included something that wasn't in the article in the link preview. Would you be able to edit your post? It doesn't seem fair to Sharpe to attribute it to her.
