Female Athletes Retire After Governing Body Chooses Wokeness Over Sportsmanship In Appalling Decision

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the official world governing body over all sports cycling, defended Austin Killips after the transgender individual who is biologically male defeated biological females in the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico. 

Killips was able to claim the win after being able to break free from the other cyclists in the final few minutes of the race, finishing in 3:07:16, and defeating female riders Marcela Prieto and Cassandra Nelson. The win makes Killip the first man to ever win a female UCI stage race. 

Of course, a man beating a woman in a sport was bound to cause controversy. Many angry Twitter users spoke of their disappointment in the race and in the UCI’s decision to allow Killip to compete in the women's division, as reported by Fox News. 

Appallingly, UCI has come out in defense of its decision to allow Killip to compete, stating “The UCI acknowledges that transgender athletes may wish to compete in accordance with their gender identity,” furthering that their “rules are based on the latest scientific knowledge and have been applied in a consistent manner. The UCI continues to follow the evolution of scientific findings and may change its rules in the future as scientific knowledge evolves.” The UCI tried to compensate somewhat for the biological disparities between men and women, making transgender female athletes only be allowed 2.5 nanomoles per liter of testosterone, and making them have transitioned 24 months before any race, per Reuters. 

Alison Sydor, a Canadian cross-country world champion as well as an Olympic silver-medal winner, said that the rules placed by the UCI are still unfair to biological females, stating “Going from the Male-> Female category (gender doping) in cycling sport I’d argue is no different functionally than doping,” per Talk TV. 

Killips addressed the uproar against his unfair win, stating in an Instagram post “After a week of nonsense on the internet I’m especially thankful to everyone in the peloton and sport who continue to affirm that twitter is not real life. I love my peers and competitors and am grateful for every opportunity I get to learn and grow as a person and athlete on course together.” 

This of course continues on a trend of women's sports being upended by sick men who have no proper sportsmanship. Just in March, former cyclo-cross champion Hannah Arensman retired from the sport altogether after losing to Killips, saying “My sister and family sobbed as they watched a man finish in front of me.”

The competition between men and women in sports will never be fair, and attempting to build a league for transgenders to compete is wholly unreasonable. If transgender athletes wish to compete, they should compete where they biologically belong, not where the delusions tell them to follow.
