Targeting beloved sports heroes, what a great way to peak more people. I rewatched Kelly Holmes' Olympic wins on YouTube last night, she was so amazing. The idea of success like that being stolen from women makes me so angry. Why isn't RM embarrassed at their hollow victories? I cannot imagine wanting to draw attention to myself in those circumstances.

Her response is getting far more traction than sponsor’s reply to McK Star

"Thanks for flagging this, Rachel. This is not representative of our brand values. We support all riders, including those of the trans community, and we’re going to look into this further."

Shocking...

Someone has reminded them that Specialized produce both men's and women's bike frames. Presumably they see some physical differences. I wonder which Dr Rachel uses.

She doesn’t seem troubled thankfully.

I think Specialized’s twitter account has exploded though!

McKinnon is in serious danger of overreaching McKinnonself. Overplaying the hand, as it were. It's a common mistake made by egomaniacs, especially those that exist in a self-constructed echo chamber.

Exactly MillytantForceit Grin I cant imagine Kelly will be troubled by this at all.

Senator McCarthy was doing so well until he took on the US Army.

Kelly Holmes is a soldier. She can kill with her bare hands.

Doubt she's afraid.
