Female cyclist defends ‘taking a stand’ on women’s sports by refusing to take podium with trans winner

“At the finish line I was upset. I said ‘I did not want to race against a man,’” Peterson said,

Peterson came in second place to transgender opponent, Kate “KJ” Phillips – born a biological male – who took the gold medal last Tuesday at the Lyons Masters National Championships in Wisconsin. She is one of multiple veteran female cyclists who are speaking out against USA Cycling after they claim the organization failed to disclose the participation of a transgender athlete in a recent race.

Peterson recalled the final sprint of the race where Debbie Milne was the only competitor ahead of her until “out of nowhere” came Phillips. 

“I knew at that sprint that that was a man’s sprint,” she said, noting her extensive experience riding among both men and women.

The cyclist claimed further that the transgender competitor’s name was not even included on the registration list, “which means that we were not given the information that he would be racing in our category before the race started.”

“Apparently we’re hearing that from other athletes as well,” “America Reports” co-anchor Sandra Smith said, sharing a clip of Milne claiming that Phillips’ registration was completely hidden from competitors. 

“Catherine Phillips, KJ’s name, was not on that list. And I checked it up all the way to the point of closure when we couldn’t register online anymore,” Milne said last Thursday on “Fox & Friends.” According to Milne, neither she nor Peterson believe the omission of Phillips’ name was accidental, referring to the incident as “deception.” She said Peterson later got confirmation Phillips had been registered since mid-June, long before the online list closed. The cyclist added that, had she known, she might have reconsidered spending hundreds of dollars and traveling over 400 miles to compete.

Madison Avenue Ad Agencies are pushing 'masculine women' in their ads - it's a way to provide cover and attempt to normalize men pretending to be women. Watch for it.

speaking out against USA Cycling

If Trump can't stop organizations that don't take Federal funding from violating the Civil Rights Act against women, then he should have the IRS strip groups like USA Cycling of their tax-exempt status.

She’s doing the right thing.
When women stop putting up with this it will stop.
Look at the swimming dude who calls himself Lia Thomas.
He’s finally being stripped of all his wins.

Any male who competes in a female sports competition is a dirty stinking cheater.
Any coach or official who helps a male compete in a female sports competition is also dirty stinking cheater.

Andy Kaufman used to spoof this concept when he wrestled women as a joke.

What man would get any satisfaction out of winning strength and endurance competitions
against women? Don't these men have any shame? What exactly have they accomplished?

News outlets need to start treating these freaks as to what they are. You don’t call them trans anything you call them by their biological sex and the name they were given at birth and state the facts “fake woman or fake man”.

“At the finish line I was upset. I said ‘I did not want to race against a man,’” Peterson said …

Oh, well — too bad. You’ve just exposed the total fraud of modern feminism.

“Women and men are equal, except when they’re not … in which case, they shouldn’t have to compete against them.”

Trans athletes will not be participating in the Olympics so that is a start.

One thing I would recommend is to create club teams outside the realm of college athletics and compete against other club teams. Bring in sponsors to fund the clubs. This is what we did as kids.(minus the transgender part) We would play for our school team but also play for a club team. When the school forced us to decide, we chose the club team by a wide margin. After the school was forced to shut down the program because they couldn’t field a team, they said we could play for both.

Full blown adult trans people are a subgroup of the homo realm so no they have no shame. The pride parades show them in all their um “glory”.

She has to “defend” her right to be a woman safe from men pretending to be women? Where the hell are their boyfriends and husbands to beat the crap out of these freaks and end this nonsense already?

There needs to be a law forbidding males from participating in female sports. Males who violate the law, and sport officials who allow it should be tried and convicted of violating this law and sentenced to be flogged.

One of the most disheartening things about the whole men competing against women thing is the lack of FATHERS standing up against this crap. Back in my day a dude infiltrating women's events would have happened precisely one time, and then it would have ended.
