Male professional women's cyclist Austin Killips is one of @outsidemagazine 's "Outsiders of the Year." Oh wow - the UCI's ruling that protects the women's category "effectively ended" Austin's career?? 🥹 Well, he can always race in the men's category, like any other male. 👍

In 2023, records fell, kids took government leaders to task, and activists fought bravely for the planet. These individuals are the Outsiders of the Year, chosen for their bravery, tenacity, and strength.

Austin Killips, a man, was 3rd today in the @UCI_CX women elite at #Exactcross #Zonnebeke - #Kasteelcross Jana Dobbelaere, who came in 4th behind Killips, deserved to be on that podium today. #SaveWomensSports

Emily (Zach) Bridges is upset that @BritishCycling will no longer allow males to race in the female category and that transwomen won't have to medicate themselves in order to race bikes. "Genocide" must be one of those words that has a different meaning in UK English. 🇬🇧

🇺🇸Oh look - @usacycling has opted to continue to allow males to race in the women's categories. In honor of this historic moment, let's take a minute to recall some of the males who have raced in the women's category in the US in the last year. 🧵⬇️

Male racer Catherine Barnwell won the women's 4/5 at Ghosts CX last weekend. Congrats on beating the beginner women, sir!🏆 Barnwell came onto the northeast women's racing scene seemingly out of nowhere last season and has had success in women's road, 'cross, and mountain bike.

In addition to taking 🥇in the women's singlespeed, Tessa (Michael) Johnson took 🥈in the women's elite category at the Chicago State cyclocross Championships last weekend. I wonder why I never see any actual female racers wearing their hair like Mr. Johnson does. 🤔

Looks like Belgian elite women's team Baloise WB Ladies is holding a team camp in France. I'm sure all the female juniors and U23 riders on the team love sharing a vacation house rental with Sylvia Dardenne, a male teammate old enough to be their father.

It's encouraging to see media coverage of Austin Killips wrongly taking the women's win at @TouroftheGila . This is happening at every level of cycling. Whether or not the male wins is irrelevant. At any level, women's sports are for women. Examples from this week⬇️:

It's Father's Day! Let's take a moment to honor the dads of women's bike racing! Some have grown children, some share custody, and some have young ones at home. Somehow, all of them find the time to stand on women's cycling podiums at all different levels. Incredible!

Austin Killips took 3rd overall in the GC of the Tour of the Gila Stage Race. Why is a man racing in a @UCI_cycling women's race? He's taking UCI points, prize money, team spots, and podium placements away from women. Men don't belong in women's sports. #SaveWomensSports

🇧🇪The post below has been removed in Belgium for "defamation/insult." There's obviously a mistake. I just want everyone to know that Sylvia Dardenne has - against all odds - overcome the hardship of being born male and has proven that he can excel in women's cycling at age 50.
