This makes me so mad.
Meet transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon. Rachel is a biological man. There’s a reason biological men don’t compete against biological women in physical sports. Men are more physically rugged, simply put. This is common knowledge. That’s why it’s SO FREAKING UNFAIR for transgender women– men who think they’re women– to compete against BIOLOGICAL women.
Yet, that’s exactly what Rachel did. She competed in the sprint final at the 2018 UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles and took first place.
Sooooo…I'm a WORLD CHAMPION.#rainbowfoxracing #rainbowfox #womenwholift #herthighness #quaddess #quadzilla #quadgoals #thefutureisfoxy #wtfsracebikes #sprinter #trackcycling #cycling… https://t.co/MUQ2q5yixc

Here's the championship final ride. I'm extremely proud of this, and it was an absolute pleasure to race against the amazing, ultra supportive Carolien Van Herrikhuyzen. Can't wait to race as team sprint partners next year!https://t.co/j56Ce87dTk

You’re a biological man. This isn’t fair, and it’s unfair to GLOAT about it.
First transgender woman world champion…ever.*

BTW, this dude is a professor.
Oh my. Professor Kathleen Stock has gone full transphobic bigot on me. As if there were any doubt before. https://t.co/ukMbV4U2RE

Right. Pointing out that he has unfair advantages is TRANSPHOBIC.
Still waiting for the transphobic bigots to point to a rule I broke. https://t.co/Snp3mSi8Pb

It’s not fair, because you’re 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

You’re still a guy.
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

Still. A. Guy.
But wow. That’s so transphobic of me to say.
