Phillipa york in the guardian

I'll probably get banned for that last post. If you don't see me for a while you know why.

Ah, those were the days.

When you could take the piss out of blokes who get off on wearing women's clothing. Instead of having to pretend that they're the most vulnerable people in the known universe.

Transvestites/crossdressers are fetishists. They're not vulnerable little flowers whose every whim has to be pandered to.

Yup. The perfect subject for a Guardian interview. 😂

👏👏👏

Yay! Monty Python was ahead of its time.

He wasn't doping with testosterone, he was using it to mask his innate female essence

Yeah, that would be an unusually large Adam's apple for a woman!

So his dad wore dresses too?

as in
‘I ride up hills, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow'rs
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars

I ride my bike , I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa’

He managed to father two children which surely is the most biologically male thing a man can do.

Hmm, yes, that attitude. Philippa York’s Wikipedia entry is interesting. Despite the obligatory homage to pronouns, there’s not over-much sugar-coating going on. Passages like this have been allowed to stand:

As a cyclist, York had a reputation for being taciturn and could be uncooperative with the media. Jeff Connor, author of Wide Eyed & Legless: Inside the Tour de France was told to "fuck off" when requesting an interview during the 1987 Tour de France. When told this, commentator Phil Liggett replied, "That sounds like Millar, he's been really awkward with us in the past. Personally, I think it's a disgrace. He has a duty to his sponsor to represent the team and you don't do that by telling journalists to 'fuck off'."

Yup, I saw someone post that on X. He’s just a controlling misogynist and a cross dresser who discovered his fetish by wearing his sister’s clothes. Poor her.

Ugh. Sick of this indulgent shite.

And the attitude. No matter how much the t goes down the attitude stays the same.

🙂

Yep.
Plus the jawline and the overall facial structure.

Oh, I wasn't reeeeallleee cheating! It was only a little bit and anyway, everyone was doing g it. Sniff.

I am so bored of these self absorbed, narcissistic men, whinging on about how difficult life has been for them. They expect the whole world to revolve around them. If this is someone who is living as his 'authentic self' he doesn't sound very happy about it. 'I am not a refugee from who I was before' where is the world's tiniest violin when you need it?

What's with the picture caption 'Pippa York in front of a mural of Robert Millar', they're not two different people ffs!

He’s an unrepentant cheat who says whatever he wants at the time. The collaboration with David Walsh explains David Walsh’s position on men in women’s sport.

Ah, but according to Pippa in this interview, his elevated T was all due to a crash.

Which is a different story to this interview in The Times from 2017:

All this, and doping too, for all York’s new openness, there is a frustrating coyness on this thorny subject. “I have a doping conviction,” York does acknowledge of the 1992 Vuelta. An excess of testosterone was recorded, and a punishment meted out of a £1,100 fine, a ten-minute penalty and a three-month suspended ban.

York disputes the findings, the levels discovered, but, pressed on the issue, says: “I was a rider of those times. How you present that is up to you. You lived by the culture of the people round about you. You lived by their morals. If they became your morals . . .

“You are a victim in a way. A victim of a system that allows no way of informing anyone outside what was happening on the inside. A willing victim, I would say. When you want to do something that much you take the bad bits with the good bits.”

York defends her reluctance to go into detail by saying that she told everything she knew to the Cycling Independent Reform Commission report which, in 2015, investigated the historic extent of doping. And she insists that whatever was done should not sully her achievements.

“The doping wasn’t what made the difference,” she says. “If I was competitive, it wasn’t because of the medical side, it was because I was good enough.”

Essentially - if I was doping with T then it’s because everyone else was doing it, and I wanted to win so I was willing to do it, and it didn’t make any difference anyway.

OKaaaay.

It's ridiculous to think male puberty has no advantage, he might have reduced testosterone levels but what happens about all the other advantages he conveniently glosses over? (The physiology of a male body as well as the disadvantage of the menstrual cycle) It's literally coincidence than men are faster and/or stronger over just about every sport...🙄

The big Adam's apple's a dead giveaway, innit?

Ditto.

Btw, it appears that Millar still managed to marry a woman prior to discovering his brave and stunning true identity. Wonder if he told her about his 'secret world' before they tied the knot?

I'm so tired of the experiences of older men who say they are trans being written about, they moan about how hard their lives have been and claim poor me. I suspect there are 15 year old girls out there with harder lives than him but we never bloody hear about them do we?

Let me guess. That would be mainly women?

So his first ever use of hormones was to cheat? Awesome.
