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
This man has had no gender reassignment surgery, no female hormones; he is simply a guy in a dress!
Why does he make me think of Obama?
Where would he have finished if he had competed against the men? (Which is where he damn well belongs.) I bet he wouldn’t have even qualified for the race.
Men rule!!
Does he lead with his behind?
lol.
If i was in my 20s and boxing again, i’d get a wig and make some easy money :)
And yes, I’ve seen Rhonda Roussy (is that her name) punch.
She punches like a girl.
I’d fight her with an egg in my mouth.
I’m sure she’s tough among the women fighters though.
Because Clown Prince nobama is married to one of these.
Feminism gets tossed out of the Progressive Book Store on its ear.
He didn’t win the race. He lied and cheated.
unfortunately, there were only three men pretending to be women and not enough to form a third classification.
The early discussions included some talk of including the Queers with the Trannies but was dropped because all the queers actually wanted was to have the queer flag displayed on their bikes.
26 minutes behind the men's winner......
Unlike in combat arms...
ROTFL!
If only this starts happening in all public schools, the liberal chaos will be delicious. Real girls will NEVER win any sports!
But if he identifies as a woman, doesn’t that conclusively make him a woman? Has he discovered a flaw in liberal thought? Is that possible? Really?
“Jillian Bearden — who identifies as a transgender women”
What’s its real name?
This upends all sports statistics and destroys competition. At end of day gender-as-born should be sole criteria. Pretending to be the opposite gender, even via physical mutilation and drugs, is a sign of mental illness, a disqualifier. Compete in your as-born physical gender or do not complete.
I think it’s terrific. I hope these xgendered dominate women’s competition.
Serves the libs right. I want to hear them ‘cry uncle’.
Spock tell boys to play with dolls.
A man who “identifies” as a woman.
I have one word for radical feminists: Hoist!
Bwah hah hah hah hah....
So, it's only like 94.35% fair?
