#DefeatAllWomen: Man Wins Women’s Cycling Competition (Plus: the Future of Sports)

Jennifer Wagner is upset.

On Sunday, she entered the women’s sprinting event for ages 35-39 at the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in LA.

Now, maybe I’m absurdly presumptuous, but I would expect people competing in a women’s 35-39 cycling event to involve only 35-39-year-old women cyclists.

Yet, some dude showed up. That guy — calling himself “Rachel” — jumped into the women’s event and cycled her balls off.

Unsurprisingly, he won.

The spandexed fella — whose last name is McKinnon — bested third place Wagner and second place Carolien van Herrikhuyzen.

And everybody just stood there and let it happen.

And then, they gave HIM the women’s award. Surely he had a lump in this throat. And his shorts.

What in the world????

Jennifer tweeted about the bizarre event Monday:

“I was the 3rd place rider. It’s definitely NOT fair.”

I was the 3rd place rider. It’s definitely NOT fair.

Uhhhh, yeah.

Transgenderism has become a hot topic — I’ve covered the concept related to the governorship (here), Congress (here), the military (here), and horse racing (here). But this is my first story about a rooster just whoopin’ the behinds of a bunch of hens. What a chicken. Where’s the feminist protest?

Check out the photo of this huge dude sandwiched in between the two chicks. Some loonies handed the MAN the MEDAL:

Look at his legs compared to theirs. How could officials have given him the women’s award????

What if Dolly Parton were to enter a men’s bodybuilding chest-size competition?

If entrants can break the women rule in the 35-39 women’s cycling event, can they also ignore the age — or even cycling — part of it?

I’m gonna enter next year’s event riding a Kawasaki. Cycling is for the birds. Which is, of course, a British term for girls. Men, come pedal out your toxic masculinity! Also, people in their 20’s — feel free to sign up and kick Jennifer Wagner’s butt.

Perhaps the joke will be on “Rachel” when a 23-year-old male cyclist on a rocket has no problem stealing the 35-39 women’s title from him.

I suppose there’s plenty of time for men to fight over the women’s first-through-third-place medals down the road. For now, Rachel — an assistant professor in the Philosophy department at the College of Charleston in South Carolina — is proud as a penis…I mean, peacock…of his accomplishment, having achieved the equivalent of Seinfeld’s Kramer beating up a bunch of elementary school students at karate class.

First transgender woman world champion…ever.*

He’s also angry about criticism:

Lots of transphobic bigots are responding to my world championship win saying that ‘Next up, the paralympics.’ Hey women, you realize that ALL of these people (many of them women) are comparing you to disabled people…right? Women = ‘disabled men’ they think. Wow. Offensive. pic.twitter.com/K5cbZgaOMc

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

The offensive part is not ‘being compared to disabled people’ because disabled people are contemptible. No, that’s super ableist. But effectively saying that women are ‘disabled men’ is both deeply misogynistic *and* ableist. Double-whammy. Bigots are horrible people.

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

McKinnon’s especially up in arms about something he knows all about — FACTS:

THREAD: Facts on the physiology of transgender athletics. I’m not sorry if they’re inconvenient for your transphobia. https://t.co/GvzLbEe8vB

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

Well, no, I’m still forced to have an unhealthily low endogenous testosterone value…it’s virtually undetectable it’s so low…way below the average for women. https://t.co/yoSsTF6BI5

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

Those pesky facts… https://t.co/lBVNmw8rP3

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

Again, folks: one thing on the side of a man calling himself a woman is facts.

And this — if there’s any statistical chance a woman could ever beat him, that’s all the justification Rachel needs to compete in the women’s division:

I came 4th in the TT. https://t.co/EF4tcZHimr

So…what’s that about cis women not having a hope at beating me?

Also, I didn’t qualify 1st in the sprint.

Transphobic bigots are not smart, y’all. https://t.co/twEMFpMgeP

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

Not smart, y’all.

Oh, and don’t speak for his competitors; they LOVE getting beaten by a guy:

Funny how all these people are speaking for my competitors. 2nd place is a FRIEND and is extremely supportive of me. So you transphobic bigots are objectifying real humans who aren’t bigoted like you. https://t.co/X3lOBivvNU

— Dr. Rachel McKinnon (@rachelvmckinnon) October 14, 2018

But wait — Jennifer said it’s “definitely NOT fair.” What happened to #BelieveAllWomen?

If this continues, ultimately, women’s sports will simply cease to exist. Men will just take them over — they’re bigger, stronger, faster. No woman will have a chance. The best we can do at that point is try to raise the bar for the male competition. To that end, I suggest a new women’s event: Biggest Weenie.

Okay, Rachel — give it your best shot.
