On Sunday, two women competing in the women’s sprint 35-39 age bracket at the 2018 UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles wound up finishing second and third, losing to a biologically male Canadian professor who identifies as a woman.
Rachel McKinnon, an assistant professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston, celebrated the victory on Twitter:
