Hip hip hooray! A sport honors the fact that trans women have no place in women's sports.
Late last week, Forbes released the news that the Union Cycliste Internationale, the international governing body for the cycling sport, announced that transgender women - also known as biological men - will no longer be allowed to participate in women’s races in order to “ensure equal opportunities” for all contestants.
Back in April, Austin Killips, a transgender woman, won the women’s Tour of the Gila. He became the first transgender cyclist to win an event and his win, rightfully so, sparked controversy.
Former Olympian Inga Thompson accused Killips of “effectively killing off women’s cycling.” Between that statement and the news of Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who “won” the NCAA swimming championship in the 500-yard freestyle, Union Cycliste International knew something had to be done.
The news comes on the heels of several other sports leagues that have had to come up with restrictions and limitations for transgender athletes. For example, in March, World Athletics indicated that transgender women couldn’t have had a testosterone level above 2.5 nanomoles per liter for at least two years before competing. Similarly, the British Triathlon Federation indicated that it would hold an “open” section for triathlon competitors who are males identifying as females or as non-binary people.

It’s obvious that biological men have a physical advantage over women when it comes to most sports. If a biological man participates as a woman, his physical ability would likely dominate most or all biologically female competitors, which makes the competition extremely unfair.
Other groups that have taken a stand to prohibit men from taking athletic achievements from women include the International Rugby League, which bans trans women from competing in the women's league, and World Aquatics, which prohibits biological men who’d gone through male puberty or had gender-reassignment surgery after the age of 12 from competing in female swimming events. Like the British Triathalon Federation, World Aquatics established an “open” category for competitors who life in fantasy world.
It’s nice to see that at least some people, groups and organizations are taking a stand against the woke policies of the left and giving women an actual chance at fair competition. Let’s hope the rest of the world wakes up, does the same, and recognizes that transgenderism is a delusion - and feeding it isn’t going to help.
