Rubbing it in the faces of female athletes even further, the pair compete under the team name ‘TS-ESTRODOLLS’, referring to the female hormone estrogen. The event has previously drawn scores of women to enter, but this year only four actual women entered:Transgender cyclists take gold AND silver medals at Chicago women's race, as critics insist pair had considerable biological advantage over female rivals https://t.co/qiDRxknw14pic.twitter.com/b2hsIiCxCO

The event organisers say that they follow the rules of USA Cycling’s Transgender Athlete Participation policies, calling it “stupid” to discriminate on the basis of gender identification. Their website states “The CCC has always been first and foremost about fostering a positive & supportive community built around competitive cyclo-cross racing, and that means welcoming and challenging everyone who wants to contribute to the series and make it better.” It continues, “Discrimination or harassment of any kind on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, national origin, sportsball team affiliation, or any other stupid idea someone comes up with to belittle others will not be tolerated.” So, calling for men to be banned from competing in women’s events “will not be tolerated.”Johnson beats the women by 2 1/2 minutes, 4 women enter the race that usually draws over 20 women. @usacycling is killing off our grassroots development of women, ignoring UCI policy. https://t.co/hqEjdhVjiB

Could we have photos of the actual winners? I’m talking about the biological women that finished first second and third.

How dumb can you be as a race organizer to think all that matters in the women's race is whether or not you identify as a man.

Excellent thread - please read. Men who say they are women in the F cat steal all sorts of things from females - upgrade points, medals, money, self-confidence, the knowledge that training leads to progress etc.
Men need to get the hell out of the F category!! https://t.co/lL5BeXuqDD — Mara Yamauchi (@mara_yamauchi) October 10, 2023
Exactly right- women will self exclude because of all these males competing. So once again- by including, you are excluding. Sex categories actually increase inclusion- if they remain male(open) and female only!!! https://t.co/BlVZTHPtQk

And to those complaining almost all I talk about is this- it’s because there are more and more male bodied trans people (males) competing against females. And winning more and more. This is patently wrong and unfair. So I will keep speaking out, thank you. https://t.co/L6qd0Euf9G

These men are not eligible for elite international competition or championships. Yet they're affecting the race outcomes and upgrade eligibility of women who are. pic.twitter.com/YLRzCH7kQS — ? (@i_heart__bikes) October 9, 2023
