Cycling has surprisingly become a battleground in the fight to protect women’s sports.

Last week, we saw a transgender woman win a cycling event in New York City while competing in the women’s division. Tiffany Thomas, who is 46, raced against women almost 15 years younger than him, and he was still able to beat women in their primes.

But that’s just one travesty of recent memory. Hannah Arseman filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court along with several other athletes and used her personal testimony to explain how letting men compete against women is always detrimental.

Arseman is a national champion in cyclocross, which is an extreme form of cycling. However, she has said that she is quitting the sport because of the adverse results of letting transgendered females (men) compete against women.

“At my last race at the recent UCI Cyclocross National Championships in the elite women’s category, I came in 4th place, flanked on either side by male riders awarded 3rd and 5th places,” she said.

Riley Gaines, Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, and now Arseman are all athletes who have watched all they have worked for as athletes be taken from them by insane people. This must be stopped. No compromise.

Fortunately, World Athletics, which is the international governing body for running sports, is taking positive action and banning all transgender athletes from the sports it oversees. While the mandate is bound to change in upcoming years, it will take effect on March 31st and hopefully prevent things like we’ve seen in cycling from happening in track and field.

The transgender movement needs to be stopped, plain and simple. We have all the evidence we need to see that nothing good comes when it is allowed to enter into women’s sports.
