    I never realised people were so passionate about women's masters track cycling. The viewing figures for this type of event must be up there with the Tour.

    It's almost like some people are able to abstract and see the bigger picture that is at play here.

    Personally I never realised so many of the boards.ie cycling community were so active in the trans-rights space, its weird as I never see you at any of the meetings.

    MOD NOTE: This thread is about Rachel McKinnon and cycling related trans athlete issues.
    I suggest you go to a more general part of the site to discuss the issue in other sports.

    You realise the site is anonymous right? That is why you won't know. Hence why I don't know if I never see you at any of these meetings, whichever meetings your on about.

    Trying to make Trans women equal to non-trans women is always going to be near to impossible. At Worlds level any small percentage of advantage or disadvantage counts. And it’s even more complicated at Masters level, with diminishing levels of testosterone. And, of course, Trans women are never going to go through the menopause - how can you level that playing field.
