How do people and specifically cyclists feel about this?
There is a news article on Cycling News about a transgender woman racing against women.
"McKinnon is first transgender woman to win world title
Canadian wins women's 35-44 sprint at UCI Masters Track Worlds in Los Angeles"

The photos are disturbing, in My opinion, exposing the reality of the situation.
My thoughts are that while it's important to give people who think differently than Myself room to live as they wish, this situation is unacceptable. I have less interest in women's cycling and something like this will diminish that further. For those who think this is ok but not quite ok, perhaps there could be a race category for transgender people.
