Okay…
Transgender cyclist wins Dutch professional women’s cycling event. At the age of 44. The average age of her 8 team mates is 24. This is all fine, though. Totally fine. https://t.co/rAwq7szGhn

I don’t even care about sports and that is just chicken shit.
This is a podium ceremony. Why does only one person in that photo look happy?
The effect is (likely) exaggerated because the podiums (podia?) are (likely) staggered, but still.
Telling.
Are transmen winning in Men’s Sports? If not, the trans activists need to explain why.
Yeah, I’m sure you really had to google it…
Yes, I did, because that tweet was the first I’d heard of it, and I didn’t know. He looks male, certainly, but that could be misleading, and I try to avoid dumbass mistakes via jumping to conclusions. It seemed to be the point of the tweet but I wanted to be sure, so I googled to make sure. I mentioned it so that it would be clear I’d checked. I’d think you of all people would get that!
You’ve taken me a little too seriously here. It was more a joke about the ridiculous situation shown in that photo. Even taking podium height into account, that’s nuts.
To put it another way, I doubt you were surprised when your google search verified which one was the transwoman.
A minute ahead. Is that a typical lead in a race like this?
Strange that there is a strong physical advantage towards the male sex in many sports, which mysteriously vanishes upon declaring oneself a woman. Stranger still that these individuals still seem to excel as if male, even though this cannot be the case because as we all know, declarations of femaleness guarantee that this is not the case.
So weird.

But I genuinely wonder what the explanation for such a significant time difference will be, given the age gap. Is Natalie van Gogh just a more dedicated cyclist? Did the other cyclists inexplicably all have a night of heavy drinking before race day? Was everyone except Natalie ill?

Unfair doesn’t even come close.
I’d like to enter a female dolphin against any man in swimming. Jesus Christ.
I apologise unreservedly to all for what I am about to write.
That photograph has dredged up an ancient joke from the deepest recesses of my mind, and never has it seemed more apt.
Q. What is better than a rose on a man’s piano?
A. Tulips on his organ.
I’ll see myself out.
