There's no excuse for this fucking horseshit. The Serotta Forum twits are the wealthiest people who have ever lived. They have had lives of comfort and privilege handed to them with unlimited opportunities for growth and education in a safe, stable society mostly built on the backs of people who have no such luxuries, yet they are vulgarly, gleefully ignorant and nasty, small-minded bigots. Rachel McKinnon is not undefeated in cycling; she's not dominating every level of competition in every cycling discipline. How many other transgendered athletes are training and competing at the highest levels of any sport? How many bugfuck ignorant Serotta Forum twits even have the first fucking clue what a trans person goes through during their transition? Do they think it turns people into unstoppable competition machines? There's plenty of cheating in cycling and every sport, but not that shit! (Oldpotato is an okay guy, I think.) It's an arduous and painful process.
There are a million reasons why someone else beat you on any given day. Some people are just more talented, but mostly some people work harder and some get lucky. Worrying about the one transgendered person in the field seems like a loser's tactic. Race your race. Train harder. Focus on your goal. Stop being a fucking shithead and bigot. Don't be a reactionary. Or a Republican. Or a conservative. Or a homophobe. Or a transphobe. Or a bigot. Or a racist. Or fucking
