The trans woman UCI Masters Track World Championship cycling gold medalist is defending her win against criticism that it's unfair for her to have competed against cisgender females. Rachel McKinnon, 36, an assistant professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, scooped up the top prize during the October 14 race, besting cis females Carolien van Herrikhuyzen and Jen Wagner-Assali, who took silver and bronze, respectively. The day after McKinnon's win, Wagner-Assali stirred up controversy when she replied to a tweet about the race with her own tweet suggesting that McKinnon was not deserving of winning the 35-44 age bracket.

What a nut case. Getting a court to edit your birth certificate does not make you a woman.

Welcome to Western Civilization where even your birth certificate is a lie.

If these LGBTQXYZLMNOP types have permanently messed up our language, then it’s time to work around that. Simply have XX and XY chromosome races. The percentage of people with genetic abnormalities that put them outside of those two categories is pretty darn small.

Good, let the rumblings begin. Its only a matter of time.

These female athletes invest an incredible amount of time, sweat and money into their training and along comes a “guy” to wipe out the field.

*** FREAKS: just go away. Thank You. ***

[JudyinCanada]

Ever notice that these freaks are always professors?

XY = Man

XX = Woman

No other identifiers needed. Thank you and good night.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Can’t we all just accept the plumbing we were born with? I have no idea what cis this or trans that means.

Stupid.

[IronJack]

And your chromosomes say you’re not.

[Vaquero]

CIS. Means people who use the term have brain cysts.

These screwed up people, being polite here as it is Sunday morning, have made a complete mockery of athletic competition and records. Born female, always female, born male, always male. While people might think that someone may appropriate for whatever reasons whatever gender, race, or such they desire, it does not change their born, genetic identity. Put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig. These people can cut off their penis, put on a dress, wear makeup, etc., but that doesn't change the fact that they are otherwise still male.

How people compete and records need to correctly reflect gender. This needs to be fixed for future records and updated to correct errors in records for recent years.

Rachel McKinnon will always hold a special place in my life.

He was the first person who ever blocked me on Twitter.

[TigerClaws]

Just ask Obama.

[JimRed]

So, cisgender = normal.

That is a new “N” word, a trigger to those who are not.

[Mr Rogers]

Pretty much says it all...

[EdnaMode]

Just wait until a biological male wins an Olympic gold medal in a women’s event. Or a tennis or golf major.

[Boomer]

Nope. Everyone is either XX or XY unless they are a hermaphrodite.

[marktwain]

Leftists insist that reality is created by what we think.

They do not believe in objective reality.

They think being a woman or being a man is a matter of attitude.

[G Larry]

Not much press on the XY "gal" they let serve time in a women's prison, only to be charged with sexually assaulting real women.

Please note, you never hear of actual woman on woman sex assault in prison.
