A transgender cyclist who set a new world record and won her second world title on Saturday has defended herself after coming under fire from critics who say she shouldn't be allowed to compete.

Rachel McKinnon, 37, won gold in the 35-39 age category sprint at the Masters Track World Championships in Manchester on Saturday.

She started her sports career after transitioning in 2012 and has been criticised by pressure groups and top sportswomen. They say she has an 'unfair advantage' because her 6ft frame, inherited from when she was male, gives her more muscle mass.

I am either full and equal to the Queen of England, or I am not.

You’d think “they” would be ashamed to admit that they can’t compete against actual men and could only win titles by cheating.

I would say the opposite. Every mulier, every femina is a (Latin, not Greek) homo (masculine grammatical gender, as in Homo sapiens), but she can never be a vir.

You are not. You are not a woman of any kind. You are not a full and equal woman. You are not an incomplete and partial woman.

You are a man. If that upsets you, I am sorry you are mentally ill. You are still a man. You were conceived as a male, and you will always be one.

“Not.” How about, “we either have full and equal female DNA and hormones; or not”.

“HE is a cheater.”

HE is not a cheater. HE is working within the system that the sport set up.

Not.

You are a man pretending to be a woman. If you get a full "sex change" operation then you will be a eunuch pretending to be a woman.

If you can figure out how to construct fully functioning female sex and reproductive organs (as opposed to the nonfunctioning replicas currently grafted on castrated men) AND how to replace the Y chromosomes with X chromosomes in every one of your cells then you can be a woman.

Not. Check your chromosomes. What you are born with is what you are for life. There is no changing that; only pretending if you try. #fakefraudshyster.

My bicycle and I are competing in the next Tour De France. It “inherited” 95 HP and a 6 speed transmission from when it transitioned from a Ducati.

Unless your being paid to just show up,don’t play the game. Find a different league or venue.
