It’s estimated that more than 50 male-born athletes are active in women’s competitive cycling, but as far as cyclist Austin Killips is concerned, that isn’t enough.
Killips defended male-to-female transgender athletes participating in the women’s division, saying that most were “just normal competitors.”
The Independent Women’s Forum held an “Our Bodies, Our Sports” rally Sunday outside the University of Tennessee in Knoxville to protest Killips’ participation as well as UCI and USA Cycling rules “allowing male competitors in the women’s division.” UCI initially defended its rules on transgender participation after Killips’ victory in New Mexico, but said a week later that its management committee would be “reopening” the issue by consulting with athletes and the national federations.
