A biological male who identifies as female has won a major women’s race in the US in what is believed to be a first for cycling.

Jillian Bearden was born a male but identifies as a transgender woman and has not had sex reassignment surgery.

However, while still a biological man she was able to take part in the event under new rules ushered in by an International Olympic Council decision.

Bearden took victory in the 106-mile El Tour de Tucson in Arizona at the weekend in a time of 4hrs 36mins, some 25mins behind the men’s winner; Mexican Olympic cyclist Hugo Rangel.

“It’s absolutely huge,” history-maker Bearden (36) told local reporters.

“We’re at a moment of time where not only do we have to come out but we have to be positive.

“We have to come together in solidarity and move this country in a direction that is accepting of all.”

Bearden is from Colorado and has to been to the fore in gender inclusion in US cycling.

She recently founded Transnational Women’s Cycling Team, the world’s first transgender cycling group.

She said she was hopeful her winning the women’s race would spur on other transgender athletes.

She beat rival Anna Sparks by just one second, with those two riders dominating the women’s race and coming home 22 minutes ahead of 3rd placed rider Suzanne Sonye.

Earlier this year the IOC said transgender athletes in all sports should be permitted by national federations to compete in the Olympics and international events without undergoing sex reassignment surgery.

It said in January it had made the decision to reflect the shift in societal and legal attitudes towards transgender people.

Those transgender athletes born as female but who identify as male should be allowed, according to the IOC guidelines, to compete in men’s events without any restriction.

And those transgender athletes born as male but who identify as female should be allowed to compete in women’s events as long as they take steps to maintain their testosterone below a cut-off point.

The IOC’s guidelines are recommendations to national governing bodies and sports governing bodies rather than rules that must be accepted.

The IOC said the male-to-female athletes should be able to show their testosterone levels were below the cut off point for a full year before the event they want to take part in.

Previously, under IOC guidelines published in 2003, transgender athletes were required to undergo reassignment surgery before they could switch to competing in the gender they identified as but not born as.

“It is necessary to ensure insofar as possible that trans athletes are not excluded from the opportunity to participate in sporting competition,” the IOC said in its new guidelines published earlier this year.

“The overriding sporting objective is and remains the guarantee of fair competition,” it added.

“To require surgical anatomical changes as a precondition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”

So how does he/she fit it into tight cycling pants??

I was thinking that those things were unisex (irregardless of how they are marketed).

In other words, the man is sick in the head.

If he/she/it hasn't had the danglies chopped off yet, they need to disqualify him/her/it for doping.

Oh this is so marvelous. I can't wait until the olympics allow transgenders to enter all females sports and beat the panties off all the female fools who allowed this to happen!

Bingo! This is proof that the law of karma actually does work.

Now what will female athletes do? They have a dilemma: admit that, duh, men and women and biologically very different, or on the other hand start losing all their races to biological men.

It's kind of like the liberal gays' dilemma after the Orlando nightclub massacre. They want to be "inclusive" of religious outsiders like Muslims because they themselves are sexual outsiders. But on the other hand, Islam demands that all gays be murdered, and Orlando was only the first massacre of gays by Muslims in the US. Gays now know for a fact that they will be massacred directly in proportion to the number of Muslims in America, the way gays are murdered in Muslim countries.

What does this mean ? That as soon as our culture and government are dominated by Islamic fundamentalists, gays will be at extreme risk ? There are entire Muslim countries where being gay is not that risky: Turkey, Indonesia, Jordan and probably even Iran, back in the day.

But as for the topic of the thread, this is one that I'm pretty sure we all agree is fucked up and ridiculous. If you're going to have separate women's sports, then the participants need to be women.

Hey, I wonder if Caitlin will soon be kicking herself for not being born 60 years later. Just imagine what an amazing female Olympian she could have been !

Yes, it means exactly that.

Those countries you mention are the least Islamic. See the following map. Murder of gays is directly proportional to how seriously a country takes Islam.

But what the fuck ? Are you concerned that our country is going to become fully dominated by Islamistrs ? That is if we allow 10 more to immigrate here, or if we don't expel all the ones that are here already ?

rando says

???? But they are infinitely more Islamic than the U.S. will ever be.

Maybe you don't understand what you're saying here.

Ha Ha ha... Perfect... and the school board allows Marcus to be alone with a classroom full of children...... Scary....

I never claimed to be an expert at working with special ed children, so I'll refrain from explaining what I said to Quigley.. You are free to look it up. for the record, I know you can not comprehend what Patrick said, but it's false.

Here's the problem, it's NOT "back in the day".... It's TODAY....

Wake up!!!

Are you Black AND Gay??? Just wondering???

So we can be selective and let in more Turkish and Indonesians, but less people from other countries, such as:

Among other Arab countries, the penalty in Algeria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Somalia, Tunisia and Syria is imprisonment – up to 10 years in the case of Bahrain. In those that have no specific law against homosexuality, gay people may still be prosecuted under other laws. In Egypt, for example, an old law against “debauchery” is often used.

...

Guy is always using few exceptions and thinking he is disproving that Islam is violent.

You shouldn't talk about Patrick that way. He doesn't actually think that fundamentalist Islam will ever dominate our culture or our government, and of course it would be bad for gays if they did. But I resent you calling Patrick the dumbest guy on his own forum.

He also might not have known what he meant when the implied that one nearly 100% Islamic country can be way less Islamic than another. Here, let me try to help, since MMR and the other retards don't know how to converse or argue other than to say "duh, he even more stupid than me is."

The problem is the growth of Islamic fundamentalism, which has been growing for decades. Islamists are the problem. Sure, Islamists are a subset of Islam. And I agree with Patrick about the problem of Saudi's support of madrases etc.

BUt generalizing about all of Islam isn't a solution, and it's also unamerican. WE have retards cheering yeah, send them all out ! Don't let them all in. MY concern is simple, It's that going to war against Islam plays in to the hands of the Islamists. Islam doesn't mellow out becasue we command them to. In fact the result would probably be the opposite.

MMR says

No I was using those exceptions to prove that blanket statements about Islam are wrong.

If this were true, then there would be a lot of gays violently attacked by Muslims in France.

MMR isn't interested in learnng anything, but others might be. So, check this out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_the_European_Union_by_Muslim_population

As a proportion, Paris has at least 6 times the proportion of Muslims as any major AMerican city. Why not six times as many gays being murdered there ? ( note: Paris probably closer to 10 times as many Muslims as any American city outside of Michigan)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_acts_of_violence_against_LGBT_people

Again, MMR, Patrick was wrong, but you shouldn't resort to calling him names becasue of that. This forum is a place where intelligent people can debate issues. I say ban morons such as MMR who don't have the ability to participate in an intelligent or adult way.
