This is just more evidence that men make better women than women, the facts are there! Allthletics, achievement, beauty pageants, women are just inferior to men in all respects.
We should just work on swapping the brains of these inferior women with these brave and stunning men so that they get the bodies they rightfully are entitled to and these women should learn the hardship these men had to endure.
(This is half satire for anyone who can't understand that)
Thanks for pointing its satire, for a sec I thought you were one of those MGTOW types who go prison gay and think being with a troon is a form of male liberation
Apparently men have a greater lung capacity than women. If that is the case, then men would literally be superior to women in endurance sports like cycling given the same training, so it makes sense to segregate the sport. Fuck this guy.
Hate the game, nigga.
Lung capacity? Yes.
Endurance sports? Not quite…
There’s various physiological reasons for this, but essentially, the sports where men and women are closest in performance (not counting “instrument”- or tool-based sports, or obviously equine “sports”) are ultra endurance events: ultra-marathons, open-water swimming, long-distance multi sports, et al.
Women almost universally beat men in Channel swimming times, for instance.
Also ski jumping, but for very different reasons.
This, if you extended the cycling race to something massive (hypothetically, say, 250k), and threw in enough steep hills (again, reasons), and trained both appropriately, the women would likely win. Obviously doesn’t apply in this case, though…
So you are on the right track, however, it doesn’t quite work that way, for ultra-endurance events, at least…
I can't even imagine the anger they're trying to suppress. All those years training, pushing their bodies to the limit and probably giving up a good chunk of their social lives. Then this dude just hops on a bike and literally laps them.
I don't even have the heart to point out that they've brought this on themselves.
...
But I will.
Imagine going so far to win that you'd lose your nuts.
That's funny because I recall, and this could be apocryphal, that silver medalists report the least satisfaction with their placing. Almost the best but not. This woman getting a double whammy. She's almost the best but not, and she also loses an additional placing because the race organizers see fit to include a dude based on his fetish.
Is still funny.
Women entering men's spaces make news all the time. They don't even have to pretend to be men.
Why does it matter whether they win or not? The principle of the matter is that they are not suppose to be there, just like men are not supposed to be in women's spaces.
Unless it's ok that women do it and not men?
The type of women that vote blue are the same that think this man is stunning and brave.
