Transgender cyclists Tessa Johnson, 25, and Evelyn Williamson, 30, take gold AND silver medals at Chicago women’s race

Enjoy. Extracts:

On their website, the Chicago CrossCup said they welcome transgender athletes and that they follow USA Cycling’s Transgender Athlete Participation policies, which allows participants in non-elite races to self-select their gender.

The race organisers said: ‘The CCC has always been first and foremost about fostering a positive & supportive community built around competitive CycloCross racing, and that means welcoming and challenging everyone who wants to contribute to the series and make it better.’

They noted: ‘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.’…

Williamson appeared to compete in both men’s and women’s categories at the Sky Express Winter Criterium in March 2020, where she won first place racing against women but didn’t place in the men’s race comprised of 40 cyclists.

  1. ‘A guy, even if mediocre in the men’s field, is more than capable of breaking records and making podiums in women’s races,’ she added” Oh dear she clearly hadn’t fully absorbed the feminism 101 course at uni. Women can do anything a man can do, biology just a minor blip. Having looked at this hilarious story, just having watched an episode of a programme following recruits’ training for the British infantry. With the obligatory focus on two women, clearly being given a lot more chances than their Male colleagues. I do wonder if the branches of feminism will ever stop fighting to realise that their battle is entirely one within their barbie like fantasy world. Outside, in the real world, this is all plainly nonsense. Only yesterday in hospital my mother observed 4 female nurses were unable to lift an obese patient, her rescue from the floor requiring a Male nurse and Male porter.
    Long may Johnson and Williamson and their like compete in women’s sports, just t o remind feminists about the idiocy they have unleashed.
