In the news

For what it's worth I think it's an important discussion to have, we shouldn't all be so dismissive. However the linked article deliberately labels those two riders as "he" several times when it's very likely they would self identify as something else for example she/her or they/them.

The main thing to bring up in response is that the categories at thundercrit are not gendered so they have done nothing wrong. There's nothing stopping any non trans, male rider from entering the same category and winning too. Perhaps there needs to be some kind of performance criteria for the categories going forward. Or an uncategorised qualifying which splits the entire field into performance categories with no focus on gender.
