Look at the fine form tho..
With such a finely honed body as that it's no wonder he cheated .. I mean won fair and square.

[SarahTancredi]

Actually Kaz

I dont really think so.

I think they see it as the ultimate validation but that's being undone somewhat by the fact that out in the real world away from.block list protected interactions, no one buys any of it.

Think they are really somewhat deflated tbh

I think McKinnon has some void in their life that they're trying to fill with ultimately unfulfilling things.
Being trans hasn't filled that void so they've had to go full on TRA.
Being a cyclist hasn't filled it so they've had to start beating women.
Getting tenure hasn't filled it or they'd be dedicating themselves to that.

I can almost bet that their life is filled with things taken up and dropped as the fulfillment they seek didn't come.
Being morally empty is impossible to fulfil.

[SarahTancredi]

Being morally empty is impossible to fulfil

Never a truer word spoken

"Think they are really somewhat deflated tbh"

It doesn't take away from the fact that they have deprived a woman of winning though, does it?
I cannot even begin to imagine the frustration and sadness which the other competitors feel, easily on a par with Sharron Davies competing against the East Germans.

When is a sports scientist going to say publicly, that McKinnon has become stronger - not weaker over the past year?
When is someone going to debunk the outright lies which Joanna Harper used in 2015, at the IOC committee on transgender inclusion in sports as the gender which they ID as?

[WrathofSIxFootSIxElfKlop]

They really shouldn't be on any panel advising about transwomen participating in women's sports.

Looks like another form of regulatory capture to me.

[SarahTancredi]

No it doesnt.

And honestly I dont think these women have been given enough credit for the sportspersonship and sheer courage and decency they have shown throughout the whole thing. Ultimately they have held their heads high and not given the reaction that was wanted and I think that has definately given them the last laugh.

That's the difference between them and a certain person

More courage and decency and sheer determination in their little fingers...

Can I spread some cycling joy from the summer? This is the fabulous Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, celebrating her QOM win at the first Women's tour of Scotland. Which, I might add, is the first tour of its kind that started as a women's tour.... www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=2ahUKEwju8ayrkqnlAhWTUBUIHd0UCCMQwqsBMAB6BAgKEAQ&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov

[Habbibu]

Oh, god. Can't do links!

[Habbibu]

Failed. But she's fab, and so was the tour. And I'm not trying to derail, but to add some joy of female cyclists who are brilliant and inspiring.

Mockers We all thought Monty Python was funny when it was new, how could any of us think it was a vision of the future - did they?

[BlackeyedGruesome]

Rachel's victory was announced on the BBC news as transgender athlete Rachel Mc..

I thought it was unusual to hear about cycling and mention of transgender.

[BlackeyedGruesome]

Normally sport is football, rugby, cricket if national teams, tennis. Rarely hear cycling and only for the really big races.

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

What about martial arts? Women’s won’t be able to compete if this becomes the norm. Parents just won’t start their girls in contact sports because of he risk.

My 15 year boy old against a 15 year old girl in kick boxing with the same belt? No way.

[TiredofthisBS]

@Kazooboohoo Reported.

[TemporaryPermanent]

I've reported your post Kazoo, that's out of order imo.

[HandsOffMyRights]

That's right Lord..

I've seen MMA's Fallon Fox's female opponents interviewed and even though there are carefully monitored paramaters about what they can say, it's clear what they feel.

One spoke about FF's strength being completely different to that of all female competitors they'd faced.

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

Browsing RMs twitter feed I came to notice a quite significant drop off of the acolytes and the ratio of factual/critical comments increasing a LOT.

It seems even the handmaids are struggling to support Rachel now. Ooopsie with the overreaching...

Please all stand by for the world's tiniest violin to start playing.
