A 36-year-old biological male dominated the women’s division of the El Tour de Tucson last weekend, an annual cycling competition in Arizona that attracts thousands of amateur and professional cyclists.
Jillian Bearden — who identifies as a transgender women — won the 106-mile race in 4 hours and 36 minutes, the Arizona Daily Star reported.
Bearden finished approximately 25 minutes behind former Mexican Olympian cyclist Hugo Rangel, who took home first place in the men’s division.
“It’s absolutely huge,” Bearden told the Daily Star, referring to his victory. “We’re at a moment of time — especially now — where not only do we have to come out but we have to be positive. We have to come together in solidarity and move this country in a direction that is accepting of all.”
Bearden’s victory is just the latest example of what critics say is an unfair advantage biological men have when competing in women’s athletic events.
In June, Alaskan high school girls felt cheated after teenage male Nattaphon Wangyot took home all-state honors in girls’ track and field. (RELATED: High School Boy Wins All-State Honors In Girls’ Track And Field)
Wangyot identified as a transgender teenage girl.
“I’m glad that this person is comfortable with who they are and they’re able to be happy in who they are, but I don’t think it’s competitively completely 100-percent fair,” one of Wangyot’s defeated female competitors said at the time.
The International Olympics Committee recently changed its ruled to allow biological men to compete as women without first undergoing a sex-change operation
You reap what you sow ladies. This is the future of Title IX. Enjoy your feminism.
What happens to all those women’s scholarships when male track athletes say they’re a woman? What happens to all the women’s basketball scholarships?
Would it be right to deny these males if they say they feel like a woman? An athletic scholarship is worth a lot of money. Remember the PC NCAA pulled events out of North Carolina because of gender issues. Good luck to them playing this loser’s game.
And they still won’t make the connection that a mediocre male is generally physically superior to even an exceptional female and a top-notch male is leaps and bounds more physically capable than any woman on the planet.
You have a good point. All those title 9 sports will now be open to men who say they “identify” as women.
Could make a movie or two out of it, as a scam. Plenty of those men could identify as lesbians.
This was a right wing conspiracy to make sure real women will never win. The libs fell for it.
>>Unlike in combat arms...
Interesting how that works in the liberal mind. Combat: awww shucks, anyone can do it. Sports: we must keep it pure and separated so women can compete.
We all knew these sicko XYs would be the end of XX sports.
When it comes to collegiate scholarships, feminists have just screwed their younger sisters silly.
He missed the men’s leader by 25 minutes. Which tells ya....he’s a loser.
Pretty much puts an end to so called womens sports I would think.
This will accelerate when these freaks figure out how to use Title IX regulations to force schools to give them scholarships for women's NCAA teams.
Notice the okympics made you compete as you were born.
Trans-Gender = Horse-Shit.
Poor ‘lil Jillian only entered this race because there were no openings left in the Sis Baby-Girl Tournament, so lay off, haters!
And just what the heck did they think would happen???
Good. Maybe if that happens a few dozen times this lunacy will stop.
He finished 44th overall, roughly 0.5 seconds ahead of someone named Anna. Don’t know what Anna is.
Why put up with this kind of stupidity?
Because the organizers are stupid.
I say good. Let all these wanna be women that are men enter all the women sports and dominate them. It is the only way to roll back this nonsense. Soon all the women will be crying uncle and want they sex back. LOL
