Transgender Athlete Wins NYC Women’s Cycling Event

A transgender athlete won a women’s cycling event in New York City over the weekend, according to a report from Fox News.

The athlete, Tiffany Thomas, posed between two biological females in first place at the Randall’s Island Criteriums. Thomas, who is transgender, reportedly rides for L.A. Sweat (via Fox News):

It appeared to be the first time Thomas has finished in first place this year. Thomas has finished in first place 16 total times in her career, according to her Road Results page.

On her Road Results page, Thomas is listed in Category 1 which is considered an elite level under USA Cycling rules. USA Cycling follows the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) rules regarding transgender athletes at the elite level of competition. USA Cycling points out the "main points" on its website.

"Those who transition from female to male (FTM) are eligible to compete in the male category upon providing a written and signed declaration acceptable to the UCI Medical Manager. It is the responsibility of athletes to be aware of current WADA/USADA policies and to file for appropriate therapeutic use exemptions," the first rule states.

"Those who transition from male to female (MTF) are eligible to compete in the female category under the following conditions:

"The athlete has declared that their gender identity is female."

"The athlete must demonstrate that their total testosterone level in serum has been below 2.5 nmol/L for a period of at least 24 months."

"The athlete's total testosterone level in serum must remain below 2.5 nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category."

Last week, Hannah Arensman, a 35-time winner on the national cyclocross circuit, said in an amicus brief to the United States Supreme Court that she retired from her sport when she finished in fourth place between two male-bodied “transgender” athletes at a competition (via the Supreme Court of the United States):

For how long are women - real women, not mentally sick men dressed in ladies' clothing - going to take this abuse lying down?

Probably until all the rest of us decide we aren't going to take it any more.

Many "real" women are at the root of the problem...

I realize that.  I'm just wondering how long they're going to continue to allow themselves to be abused in this manner.

[berdie]

I, for one, am a little sick of looking at a person and wondering what gender they are.

A question I would like the answer to as well.

Yep. I feel sorry for people dating these days. All my life this was NEVER an issue.
Today, the first question on a date is, 'Were you born a man/woman?' (let's just get that out the way right now)

"Hey, You!" works.

It is the death of the ordinary gender specific pronoun.

In severe cases, "assh*le" works, too, because everyone has one.

Unfortunately, that does little to promote civil discourse, but the people promoting this aren't interested in that.

[Smokin Joe]

Maybe they are waiting for 'real men' to step up and put a stop to this nonsense.

Ladies, I hate to say it, but that ship sailed with all the "empowerment" and "equality" stuff we've been handed. At my age, I'm not playing, so it's almost fun to watch them all squirm.

@Kamaji

After all the years women spent fighting for equality,it blows my mind that they are sitting still for this insanity.

WHERE is the logic in this?

Yes, liberal, white females…..America’s biggest demographic problem.

Why would they do that?  They're adults, and more than capable of speaking for themselves.  See, e.g., the following:  Female Athlete Accuses Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas of Cheating and Stealing Title

Yeah, back in the late sixties and early seventies we had a similar problem, driving behind someone and seeing beautiful long hair. The difference back then is that when you pulled up along side the car you knew right away if it was a man or woman, now?  Though there are always the linebacker types in a dress that leave no doubt

If men are so much better at being women than women are, why am I not dating trannies? Never mind. I know the reason.

Your wife would kill you?

I'd kill myself first. For the record, I am a widower of 8 years, but I do have a girlfriend. She is BOTH biological female and identifies as such.
