Controversial trans cyclist Austin Killips wins North Carolina race by 5 minutes

Controversial transgender cyclist Austin Killips has won a North Carolina race by a whopping five minutes – prompting the second-place finisher to declare that her power was “not comparable” and suggest a separate category for trans athletes.

Austin Killips, 27, who recently became the first openly trans woman to win an official Union Cycliste Internationale stage event, won $5,000 after easily coming in first in the 131-mile Belgian Waffle Ride in Hendersonville on Saturday, Cycling News reported.

Killips, who identifies as female, quickly took the lead in the women’s division before being passed briefly by Paige Onweller.

Killips ultimately surged ahead and beat her by five minutes.

Coming in third was Flavia Oliveira.

I’d like to congratulate him on his hollow victory against real women.

[zomblog]

how is that fair? "changing genders" does not equal "changing physiology"

[charlesleeray]

Congrats to Paige for being the real winner!🥇

[yvonneantionette]

Has anyone heard of any females transitioning to become a male wanting to enter male sports…? Maybe: Boxing, NBA, NFL, etc 🤦🏾‍♀️ this is ridiculous.

[TheHungryHoneyBadger]

Male endurance athletes almost always have faster times in their events than females. A man can transition to female but still have a larger heart, greater cardiac output per ventricular contraction, coronary arteries greater in diameter, etc.

What is just as disappointing as Austin Kilips (1st Place transwoman) cheating his way to the #1 position, is Paige Onweller (1st Place real biological woman) weak and pathetic response. Paige, if you don’t speak out for yourself and other biological women about this nonsensical atrocity, who are you expecting will?!

[andym]

What you (biological) women need to do is just boycott your sport. If a trans woman wants to compete against you in your certain category (cyclist, power lifter, track and field, ..etc), just don't compete at all. Show them that these sports are meant for biological women only. Every athlete woman in sports should boycott. If trans genders want to compete, have their own sports that are equal to their biological physic. It does not matter if you transition to be a man or a woman. You, in general, still have the bone structure of a male to a female or a female to a male. For instances look at the female who transition to a male. You still have the birth canal for a baby to pass through, not the same with a male who transitions to a female. The canal is more narrow than that of a female.

Protect our children and protect our women from this evil.

[siriosstar]

What's really disturbing is that Austin and others like him/her/it actually think it's fair . This just serves to illustrate that there is more biology at play than mental identity .
Ban him from all womens competition .

[aliengranpa]

Dude looks very pleased with himself too.🙄

[ashleyc]

“Inferior male cyclist uses violence against women to win race”. There, fixed your hardline for you.

[lollol-lbsy]

I never thought it'd get to this point but here we are.

[logans]

This is disrespectful to women around the world. Such a shame

[newsycpl]

Wasn't Lance Armstrong's victories stripped away because of unfair advantages due to his use of performance enhancing drugs?

What's the difference?

[dandejoux]

Keep the cheaters and frauds out of the women's locker room and restroom and sports.

[joshuaprets]

Sounds totally fair.
Great job democrats!

[msteele]

Way to go dude, beating a bunch of women. You should be so proud!

[Amerikiwi.]

This is getting utterly ridiculous. Pretty soon all the women will stand down and there won't be any women's sport.
What baffles me is how are these 'winners' even proud of themselves? For what, beating a woman in a race? Big whoop. It's no different than me competing in a running race against 5 yr olds.

[beecee]

You may win the race but you will never be the first woman to cross the finish line

[joerogan]

*HE SHOULD PICK ON SOMEONE HIS OWN GENDER*
