Biological Male Dominates Women’s Cycling Competition (Sicko BS)
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 11/23/2016 6:02:01 AM PST by Strac6

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

Hey ladies on the left in sports. Me thinks you have opened a Pandora’s box. How’s it working out so far?

This is an insult to all the women that trained so hard to try to win this competition. It makes the result a sham. It wouldn’t surprise me if they stop competing. What is the point? Why work hard for something that you know you can never win? This is the result of liberal lunacy.

Did he/she/it use a men’s bicycle or woman’s?

My dad, a WWII combat veteran, stated that they had a few
homosexuals muster in to Army basic; but they were focused
on defeating NAZIS and most homosexuals collapsed and had
to go home. NOT because of them being “harassed”; but just
REALITY HIT THEM BROADSIDE!

If Obama and the lunatic left were serious about getting women in combat arms, they would be demanding pro sports open its ranks to women too, NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.

>>I think your comment was a bit unfair. Title IX was a legitimate law

I wasn’t unfair. There is what Title IX was supposed to be and there is what it became. The “ideal” of Title IX never happened. It went straight to feminist craziness as soon as it was created.

The unfairness was in the bait and switch tactics used by the feminist left.

This is the gorilla in the room (I’d say elephant but ...), that identity claims are not biology! From birth, the ‘XX’ grows differently from the ‘XY’ gene expression, regardless of identity unless there is medical intervention. LEFTISM thought does not trump (how I love this!) this natural expression and growth. Allowing a person who grew up with the ‘XY’ gene to compete athletically with ‘XX’ in endurance and strength sports is to put all of the ‘XX’ competitors at a severe disadvantage.

Strange how one does not see the reverse in such competitions as gymnastic routines where the emphasis is upon flexibility. Cannot see why ‘XY’ appear to not even try for these areas UNLESS there is an actual physical difference, WHICH THERE IS!

Dora Ratjen and the NAZIS are vindicated. Does Dora get his/her medals back?

This is the war on women. Being an actual woman isn’t the easiest thing in the world and now they get no respect for it, no accommodation. No bathroom just for them. I’m sorry, letting someone who who’s muscles developed in a big pool of man hormones compete against actual women who don’t have that advantage is just wrong.

Yet more proof that biology is a social construct

“We all knew these sicko XYs would be the end of XX sports”

Not necessarily all sickos. If I was of age and body, I would proudly don a dress if I could help destroy a major part of liberalism and bring so many of their sacred cows simultaneously into conflict with each other. There are lots of ramifications from this that spread far across many facets of liberalism far far past just sports.

Not all women who play sports are libs so you’d be destroying the non-libs’ goals, too.

Ugh...how much profanity is permitted here? This is utterly and completely disgusting. The utter lack of logic behind these "feelings-based" decisions is reprehensible.

“I’d fight her with an egg in my mouth.”

Even in your 20’s you’d be eating scrambled eggs in a split second.

I think your comment was a bit unfair. Title IX was a legitimate law to allow women and girls to finally have true athletic competitions [other than cheerleading and dance line!].”””

Saw local coverage of the UN-R women’s basketball team playing last week. There were NOT even 50 people in the stands. They certainly are NOT getting enough supporters to pay much of the costs.
