Robbed of right by birth

It's just so unfair

SarahTancredi · 16/10/2019 14:24

Feels horrible to think you have been robbed of something doesnt it...

Gee if only there was someone else who could share that feeling with them so they werent so alone...

Fraggling · 16/10/2019 14:21

Oh

They are making excuses as to why didn't win
Why would they be so utterly convinced that they should have won

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 16/10/2019 13:39

In the 60-64 cat McK would have finished 8th

Yes, McKinnon is a very mediocre XY 'athlete'. Probably why McKinnon prefers not to compete fairly.

aliasundercover · 16/10/2019 13:35

From that twitter thread:

In the 60-64 male category McKinnon would have finished 8th.

Doesn’t that just tell you all you need to know about their cycling ability?

NotTerfNorCis · 16/10/2019 13:33

To clarify for the our TRA 'monitors':

The fact that McKinnon got silver doesn't prove McKinnon didn't have an unfair advantage. McKinnon would have come nowhere in the men's race.

I know this is a frustrating situation right now, but I'm seeing signs that people are waking up to it. McKinnon's result in this race needs to be published far and wide. Then TRAs would find out what most people think of their ideology.

Has Big Mac been comfort eating Aero bars? I did that the other day driving home from work. Then I wasn't hungry for supper.
I'm not surprised it affects athletic performance. Grin

Looks like the fb page has gone - or I have my first RL block on Facebook!!

We should collect the prize money and get a medal for Kirsten.

If I win the lottery I'm going to haver medals made for any sport where trans women are competing with women and issue them to the real winners.

I will have a fancy event with food and wine and award the medals.

Antibles · 16/10/2019 13:02

Congratulations to Dawn, Naomi and Kirsten Star

What happened at the world swimming champs Buzz?

In the older categories they do the same event. In the 60-64 cat McK would have finished 8th.

Just because it bears repeating.

When you see the photos of RM
next to the female cyclists, it's actually laughable that there are people that think this is fair.

I see on FB they are rapidly deleting messages that may be "offensive".

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 16/10/2019 12:39

Well done WOMEN Flowers

LikeothersIamjustme · 16/10/2019 12:36

They tend to be muscular rather than Lardy though :-)

GlitterToast · 16/10/2019 12:35

Let’s hope this gets done press attention. That photo is brilliant!

Caucho · 16/10/2019 12:34

The sprinters are usually pretty bulky. Especially the men. Hoy was not skinny as they’re built for power and only expected to last a few seconds. Even the roads ones are big compared to the GC riders but they do have to complete the whole course so not as big as track sprinters

deydododatdodontdeydo · 16/10/2019 12:28

McK doesn't seem to have a track cyclists physique, male or female.
They are usually slim and wiry.

SarahTancredi · 16/10/2019 12:22

Aaaah I'm on my mobile that explains it

SarahTancredi "How are you seeing the comments on the YouTube clip?"

On a desktop they just show up next to the video window. Not sure on mobile though.

Cycling Twitter is having none of it. The first comment is Grin:

"As a fat bloke with a bike myself, thank you for supporting MAMILs. It’s important that we support the message that mediocrity should be no barrier if we want a medal."
