A transgender athlete won a women’s cycling event this week, prompting protests and walk-offs from women athletes.
“The trans athlete, Kate Phillips, won first place at the Lyons Masters National Championships in Wisconsin on Tuesday,” noted Fox News.
Philips also beat out veteran cyclist Julie Peterson, who refused to join with Phillips at the podium during the medal ceremony.
“You could clearly see the power that he had,” Peterson said of Phillips to Fox News, adding that she did not know he registered for the event.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have spent thousands of dollars in travel and time off work to come and do a race,” Peterson said.
“I said, ‘I don’t want to race against a man,’ and they quickly scolded me and said ‘Oh, you can’t call him a man,’ and I’m like ‘Well, he is a man,’ so I was quickly scolded and corrected that it is a woman and I don’t even know what to say,” she added.
