Transgender cyclist Austin Killips has finished in first place in the women’s category in the Tour of the Gila.
Killips broke free from the pack late in the final stage of the tour in New Mexico, clocking in at 3:07:16 in a time that saw her take the top spot on the podium ahead of Marcela Prieto and Cassandra Nelson by a margin of 89 seconds.
The elite-level road race came with whopping prize money of $35,000 for first place.
With the focus on transgender women competing against biological females taking center stage across the globe, Killips took some heat on social media for the victory, Fox News reports.
The 27-year-old was fully sanctioned to compete in the event under the rules set by cycling’s governing body, UCI.
The situation has created a storm of controversy surrounding the sport’s rules.
Former world champion cyclist Alison Sydor also tweeted: “The current UCI rules that allow males to compete in female cycling events are not fair to female athletes. Time for UCI to admit this current rule situation is unsustainable and leaving a black mark on cycling as a fair sport for females.”
Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies — who last month called for a boycott of Nike over the apparel giant’s decision to use transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote its sportswear for women — also hit out at Killips’ inclusion in the category.
“This is beyond disappointing,” Davies told The Daily Mail.
“Those in charge should hang their heads in shame. The UCI is not fit for purpose.”
Fellow world champion cyclo-cross raider Hannah Arensman has also lashed out at the governing body for failing to protect the sanctity of the women’s competitions.
Arensman said in a document submitted to a US court that she was retiring from the sport because transgender women were infiltrating the sport and in her final race there was footage of Killips pushing her over as she tried to overtake.
“I have decided to end my cycling career. At my last race at the recent UCI Cyclocross National Championships in the elite women’s category in December 2022, I came in fourth place, flanked on either side by male riders awarded third and fifth places,” she wrote in the document, Stuff.co.nz reported.
“My sister and family sobbed as they watched a man finish in front of me, having witnessed several physical interactions with him throughout the race.”

They should also allow "transmen" to compete against biological men. Then we will see if that trans fad is factual or not.
My bet is none would win.

That's actually happened a few times. They wouldn't allow then to participate.

These stories are quite common.
They definitely deserve attention and a thread discussing them.

There is only one question now: Why do women show up if this is going to happen.
The lack of self respect is staggering, simply do. not. show. up.
That will end it all, they will rally to abort their kids, scream over not wearing masks, demand to teach whatever to kids, but simply will not unite to stop. showing. up.

No.
It’s another story about biological women getting screwed and beat by a MAN.
Why do you guys put these fake women on a pedestal and marginalize biological women?

So how exactly was anything that Lance Armstrong did worse than this insanity?
At least he had (key word) the balls to compete against and beat men… 🤣
