The following report is by The New York Post:
Tessa Johnson, 25, won first place in the Women’s Single Speed and Cat Half categories at the Chicago CycloCross Cup (CCC) on October 7, while Evelyn Williamson, 30, placed second in the Single Speed contest.
For her success in the women’s Cat Half, Johnson won $150, and Williamson received $75 in prize money for placing fourth.
Records show Williamson has been racing in the women’s category since at least 2017, earning 18 titles.
But in 2020, she appeared to compete in both the men’s and women’s categories at the Sky Express Winter Criterium, where she won first place as a woman — but did not place against the men.
The annual event features over a dozen different races and openly welcomes trans riders.
“If you have found your way to a CCC event to race your bike and hopefully have some fun in the process… then you’re welcome here,” organizers say on the website.
The CCC has always been first and foremost about fostering a positive and supportive community built around competitive cyclo-cross racing, and that means welcoming and challenging everyone who wants to contribute to the series and make it better.
Discrimination or harassment of any kind on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, national origin, sportsball team affiliation, or any other stupid ideas someone comes up with to belittle others will not be tolerated.
Williamson and Johnson have previously won the Racing-Athletic Relay Cruise in Chicago on August 27, competing under the team name “TS-Estrodolls,” referring to the estrogen transgender women take.
They then went on to triumph in the Illinois State Championship in Madison.
Former track and field coach Linda Blade was among those calling out race organizers for allowing the riders to compete in the women’s categories.
Race organizers of @USAcycling need to stop calling these ‘women’s events.’ You are fooling nobody,” she tweeted. “These are ‘beta-male races’ where some women get to be involved.”
“In the process, you are turning your ‘sport’ into a joke.”
Another X user tweeted: “Women need to start boycotting these circuses of toxic masculinity.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:26-28
This abominable clown show speaks for itself.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Clownshow without the humor
Correct. Clowns at the circus make us laugh; this is a clown show part of the circus without a tent.
Is it just me or does anyone else notes that the man in first place looks to be wearing a blond wig?
He’s wearing a wig, it’s so obvious that he is.
