- The silent protests are starting! The women are refusing to stand on the podium with the man! Well done!!!The CO2UT gravel race was yesterday. Trans-identified male cyclist Lesley (Wesley) Mumford was๐ฅ in the women's 40-49 age group (out of 14) and 6/33 for women overall on the 100 mile course. Lesley doesn't know why no one else showed up for the podium! #ThisNeverHappens
- This is the advocate, Tara Seplavy, that @jamesstout thanks for all their โadviceโ in womenโs cycling. This is why I will not be silenced by men like you.Replying to @jamesstout @ithompsonfdn and @autostraddleIt was masks off when your interviewee posted this image representing their fantasies of violent aggression against women who disagree.
- I wholeheartedly support this!!! Create your own classification and they will come!
- Yes, All of us used to be โpoliteโ and โrespectfulโ. But you actively tried to shame and silence us. We will not be silenced any longer. Women Athletes are furious. Can you feel the heat! We will not allow Gender Doping anymore.
- Replying to @i_heart__bikes
- When I decided to start taking HRT with enough testosterone to bring me up to a healthy level of .3 nmoles/l, because of menopause, I knew I couldn't race my bike with the women anymore. I didn't die, it wasn't genocide, my identity wasn't erased, I wasn't eradicated.
- Replying to @jamesstout and @autostraddleOf course you want men included in women's sports. I believe that's call misogyny. The latest science shows that no amount of testosterone suppression mitigates the advantages of being born male. I'll continue to advocate for fairness for women in sports.
- In 1991, after making 2 Olympic teams, just finishing getting 2nd at the Worlds, looking at trying to qualify for a 3rd Olympic teams, @Nike told me I wasnโt worth sponsoring because I was a woman. Funding studies to put boys into womenโs sports is right in line with who theyOver 1900 females have been displaced by males in womenโs sports. Yet Nike remains silent. So, we asked female athletes if they could say one thing to @Nike , what would it be?
00:00 - It is time for Women Cyclist to start protesting @UCI_cycling Policy. Start taking a knee at the starting lines. Team managers need to speak up and protect their riders. Hold signs at every race โSave Womenโs Sportsโ.
- I have zero sympathy. Welcome to reality of your actions which youโve never been held accountable
- Just stunning that a man in his 40โs is over the top joyfully celebrating beating a 14 year old girl. Congratulations to @usacycling for their leadership in developing young girls on how to lose to men. The Board of Directors at USA Cycling and Brendan Quirk are spinelessThe man in the video on the right, "Lesley" (Wesley) Mumford, looked super stoked yesterday to have beaten the 14yo girl on the left. Thanks to @usacycling for making sure that talented juniors have to race against men in order to move up the categories in women's cycling.
00:00 - Replying to @reduxxLet me get this right. Teachers forced young girls to undress in front of a boy while they watched. For a full week! These women, people in charge of our children, engaged in voyeurism of the Sexual Assault of young girls. These women should be charged with a crime.
