Transgender cyclist Austin Killips wins Stage 5 Gila Monster to take home the overall victory at Tour of the Gila
In what has been described as a "Lia Thomas moment" for cycling, Austin Killips, a 27-year-old transgender rider, has won first prize for women at the Tour of the Gila, the premier road race in New Mexico.
It marked the most significant result yet for Killips, a trans-identifying biological male from Chicago, who also won a medal in women's cyclocross at the US National Championships and who is now tipped to challenge for a place at the Tour de France Femmes and at next summer's Paris Olympics.
This year's running of the Tour of the Gila marked the first time in the event's 36-year history that equal prize money had been offered, with a total purse of $35,350 (£28,145) in both the men's and women's races. Killips, who only took up cycling in 2019 before starting on hormone replacement therapy, earned almost £8,000 for finishing top of the women's general classification, plus an £800 bonus as "Queen of the Mountains".
"Austin is cycling's equivalent of Lia Thomas," Inga Thompson, a three-time US Olympian and five-time national road race champion, told The Telegraph. Thomas won a US women's collegiate title in swimming last year, in the 200-yard freestyle, having been ranked 554th in the country in the equivalent male category.
"This really highlights the issues that are happening to women in cycling," Thompson said. "We have more than 50 transgender women in the sport. And what's going on in the background is that women are just quietly walking away. They think, 'Why bother, if it's not fair?'"

Transgenders: Pussies with penises
Why are these POSs everywhere?
Upside down world.
Insanity is in control. To cheer a man who claims to be a woman for winning in a sports competition, it is first necessary to deny what humans have agreed upon for thousands of years, that men have, on average, different physical strengths than women. This has been proven billions of times and there is no doubt about it.
Along came liberalism, and the established truths of the ages were thrown into the trash can.
What an historic achievement!
“next stop Olympics?”
1. The Olympics has been the goal all along regardless of sport.
2. The way to put a stop to this is to refuse to compete against them.......they wanna win in women’s sports so bad let ‘em compete alone.
It’s about rubbing the noses of normal people in their LGBTQP dog droppings.
Transgenders — pussies without whiskers.
Some observations. The few spectators at the finish line don’t seem to be excited about this “winner”. A would suspect a vast majority of people don’t support this nonsense (biological male competing in a female sport). But women in general aren’t making a big enough stink about it, so they get to watch their fellow women have their sports destroyed.
We have pretended that women can be Rangers, Seals, firefighters, Marines, infantrymen, etc. When do we stop pretending?
Because they crave attention and Democrat voting women allow it.
More sickness.
Too bad all the women quietly walking away don't stand up and scream about this horrible injustice. Come ON, women. Men are stealing your womanhood and you are going to just sit there quietly and let it happen? You are getting cancelled either way, either by quitting and quietly walking away or by letting these MEN beat you in women's sports.
rofl!
"The East Germans did it first"
Second, these women who were cheated out of their prize. How do they vote? Which causes do they espouse? In any arena other than women's sports, do these women applaud and embrace the "transfreaks" society?
Because, if they do applaud trannies, sorry, I don't feel bad for them. That's poetic justice.
on another note, sports competition can be reduced to 3 classifications...1) male 2) female 3) everything else (goulash)
let's these cross genders compete in the goulash category.
Only the mentally ill accept these results.
