A female cyclist who gave up her dream of competing at the Olympics after losing to a biological male has said the experience 'hurt on a million different levels'.
Hannah Arensman, 24, quit cyclocross after also receiving abuse from a left-wing, Antifa gun club which protested at her final race after claiming 'there's a massive TERF [trans-exclusionary radical feminists] problem in cycling'.
Arensman is a 35-time winner on the national cyclocross circuit and previously opened up in heartbreaking detail about her decision to leave the sport, saying the inclusion of trans competitors meant she would 'lose no matter how hard I train'.

“TERF [trans-exclusionary radical feminists]”
Otherwise known as biological women standing up for themselves and demanding womens sports be WOMENS sports. The horror.
Keep voting for left wing candidates and this is what you get.
DNA Deniers
These cheaters can’t compete with men
Wait? “Antifa gun club?”
Are the antgun Dems going to regret creating Antifa before this is over? Or give them a waiver and special privilege?
Yup.
I would have said "If you think losing to a 'trans rider' hurts on 'a million different levels', you're going to be impressed by how many different levels you're hurting at if you keep voting for left-wing candidates."
OK, yours definitely wins on brevity.
They should all quit.......that’s the only way you stop this insanity.
Do not play their game.
Any real women that agree to compete are admitting they are willing to comfor 2nd place.
You lost to an abusive, perverted man and his minions. I can’t imagine why you would be happy about that. What a cheat this guy is.
yes
antifa has started carrying at their “events”
How much you wanna bet she thought all this stuff was cool in highschool?
I’m sick of these people being referred to as “trans women”. They are not women, they are men pretending to be women.
Last I heard, trans (in this case, men as women) will not be allowed to compete as women in the next Olympics. If so, the women should make their statement in the Olympics trials. They really should have stopped this nonsense some years back.
Dick Schaap, circa 1977, “Sure René Richards has the right to play in the U.S. Open, but would you want your brother to date her?”
I would not say she lost. How can you “lose” in a competition to someone who is not qualified to be there in the first place?
Right, like THAT will ever happen.
Sometimes lessons aren’t learned until a person experiences pain; sometimes, that doesn’t work either.
I agree. She didn’t lose.
