Transgender Cyclists Take Gold and Silver Medals in Chicago
Transgender cyclists took both gold and silver medals at the women’s races at the Chicago CycloCross Cup in the latest example of male athletes unfairly pushing out their female competitors. The Mail has more.
Tessa Johnson, 25, won first place in the Women’s SingleSpeed and Cat Half categories while Evelyn Williamson, 30, placed second in the SingleSpeed at the October 7th contest.
The transgender pair made headlines earlier this year for sweeping the competition at several women’s races amid fervent debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
In the Women’s SingleSpeed race, Johnson took the gold and Williamson took silver, leaving only one biological female on the podium, Allison Zmuda, placing third for bronze.
Johnson placed first in the Women’s Cat Half, winning $150 in prize money. Williamson placed fourth in that race, receiving a $75 prize.
The CycloCross Cup took place at Jackson Park in Chicago, Illinois from October 7th to 8th, and held over a dozen different competitions for men, women and junior athletes.
On its website, the Chicago CrossCup said it welcomes transgender athletes and that it follows USA Cycling’s Transgender Athlete Participation policies. …
Williamson and Johnson won the Racing-Athletic Relay Cross in Chicago on August 27th – competing under the team name ‘TS-ESTRODOLLS’ in reference to the female hormone estrogen.
Williamson appeared to compete in both men’s and women’s categories at the Sky Express Winter Criterium in March 2020, where he won first place racing against women but didn’t place in the men’s race comprised of 40 cyclists.
He has been racing in the women’s category since at least 2017, winning 18 titles.
Johnson has also picked up a number of victories in female races, after previously competing in men’s categories while riding for Clemson University, according to Reduxx. …
Killips had sparked widespread outrage after appearing to shove female Cyclocross champion Hannah Arensman in a competition in December 2022 – who went on to quit the sport entirely after feeling transgender athletes were ruining the sport.
Arensman left the sport entirely this year after losing a podium place to the trans rider.
“A guy, even if mediocre in the men’s field, is more than capable of breaking records and making podiums in women’s races,” she added.
“This is not fair sport, and the governing bodies, who should have made the rules at the beginning, need to realise it. The very people who should be protecting our sport are not doing so.”

Clowns will always win in clown world. There is no logic to it. As far as I am concerned they can stuff their pockets with gold and silver medallions until they burst…still doesn’t actually MEAN anything!
Unfortunately what it does mean is that a lot of women who have sacrificed everything else in their life – building potential careers, having children, a social life, even freedom to choose what they eat – in order to train like hell and achieve a dream of becoming the best in their field, now have to face having it all stolen from them by a bunch of narcissistic fantasists and their enablers.
Why the hell two down ticks? Truth hurts, does it?
You only got two [its three now and not from me].
I got six here and I was just joking.
So does that mean stand-up is out of the question?
Headline should read “Men entered women-only cycle race and ‘won'”. They are not winners because they are not eligible to enter.
Yay!! How fantastic that I’ve beaten women at some sport when I’m a male….. How utterly deranged can you get..
Wot’s deranged about it? Some people do anything to win.
In America they are called ‘winners’.
LOL
Looks like the humour in “Some people do anything to win” is too difficult for the six downvoters.
Some people just can’t take a joke – like is it worth putting on a frock to become a “chick-with-a-dick” because you can’t beat the real thing.
Well, it is to be expected. Half the population are sadly below average intelligence. But that does not explain the current split – 3 up-votes vs 6 down-votes is not 50/50 – or was last time I took off my shoes and socks to check.
It’s actually genuinely difficult these days to know what is a joke and what isn’t, when Monty Python sketches have not only become real life, but you’re not allowed to laugh at them either. I suspect at least some of the downvoters thought you were being serious.
Two more now.
And you are right. The tremendously funny Spitting Image came to a tragic end because the behaviour of the politicians they were sending up became worse than their comic depictions.
Hard to beat that kind of competition.
I guess now it’s up to woman (the type that ovulate) to either not enter such nonsense competitions or start there own for woman only (the type that have menstrual cycles).
I can win the menstrual cycle race. How fast is it?
I’m changing gender right now.
Where are my scissors?
The guy who came in second must have thought: Jesus, what else do I need to do to win a freaking race.
Not compete against the man who won gold.
School sports day? Seems like the next logical progression.
Damn you beat me to it.
See this.
Identify as both transgender and disabled.
I’m far more worried that it looks like Jimmy Savile isn’t dead after all! He’s just been patiently waiting for a new opportunity.
Good one!
Time MSM started naming the first actual XX women to cross the line, if only to give us normies a chance to celebrate their successes!
I can’t understand for the life of me why all the other real female competitors refuse to compete! Go on strike, let these two mentally ill men race against each other!
Come on ladies, grow some ba….. ah.. that’s what’s not wanted in this competition!
Good point, Dings, but fear of being judged, cast out and cancelled is a prime mover here sadly.
So true, and such a damn tragedy for women’s sport
It is no longer sport.
I see the one who came first has ‘Half Acre’ on the T-shirt. So just one and a half achers surgically removed then?
Hilarious. Its one way to win.
If I could I would identify as 5 years old and win the sack race and egg and spoon race.
But sadly not possible. The woke brigade decreed that school sports days have to be non-competitive because they don’t allow any losers.
The way to go for womens’ sports now?
Funny we don’t hear about trans men sweeping the board in mens’ sport?
Why are women continuing to compete? I remember Serena Williams being asked on TV how she thought she would get on against the men. ——She replied “If I played Andy Murray I would lose 6-0 6-0. ——Everyone can see how unfair that would be so why can they not see it elsewhere? There is only one way to stop this absurdity and that is for all women to point blank refuse to compete.
The nonsense will only be stopped when ALL female athletes refuse to participate in events which involve MEN who have declared they are a woman.
And that refusal must go right through society to the parents of girls. Refuse to allow them to participate in any female sporting activity which involves a member of the opposite sex pretending to be a girl.
Women simply need to boycott events which men pretending to be women enter. I get that they have made great sacrifices, but they would receive massive kudos if they simply went for an (inevitably well publicised) bike fee on their own, and left the cheats to have their own race.
