This is so unfair to women. No one gives a shit if you're "legally" a woman. Still a fucking dude.

Yeah, and McKinnon is a particularly unpleasant piece of work. He was nothing in cycling until he decided that he's a woman, at which point a fairly tubby guy, at the latter end of the age range for competitions, suddenly became competitive. Just look up some photos of him standing with his fellow cyclists. Here's a good example: https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/Mckinnon.jpg

One of these things is not like the others. The height alone stands out, but look a the physical condition of McKinnon compared to the women. They look fit. They look like people who train hard for their sport. He looks look like some average guy who wandered over for a photo. The legs on those women are the legs of athletes. His are the legs of the guy from accounts payable who hits the gym a couple of times per week. I went off on a bit of a tangent there. Why's he shit?

He's shit because he gloats over his victories. He seems to take a perverse pleasure in defeating women. It'd be like watching a normal guy win a game of chess against a kid with Down's syndrome, then getting in the face of the kid to yell 'I crushed you, worm!' McKinnon is a bad winner and he's competing in a class never meant for men. I'm guessing that he harbours bitterness towards women because he knows he's not a woman and never will be.

The fact that he is in horrible condition and looks like a weekend warrior with a 12 pack a day habit just makes this so much worse. He's not even in shape!

Yeah, he’s not even trying. His academic work is of a similar standard.

I’m not a particularly fit guy. I do some running and very occasional weights. Even so, just by virtue of my biology I could drop in to most sports and do pretty well against women who train each day. Most men could do the same.

McKinnon and his fellow cultists want to ruin women’s sports for their cult and for their self-aggrandisement.

Cue Karen font : "Excuse me but I find your biological observations relative to the athletic character of those cyclists' legs to be extremely offensive, and it seems like you should review your stereotypical criteria which define what an "athlete" is in your mind. Just because an athlete is overweight and has little muscle mass dos not mean they are not valid.
If McKinnon identifies as an athlete, he should be seen as one. Refusing to grant him this is bigotry and might drive him to suicide. Is that what you want ?? "

I think I'm getting the hang of this.
