Riley Gaines is speaking out after the third-place finisher in a cycling race in Illinois praised the two biological men who beat her.
As RedState reported, Tessa Johnson and Evelyn Williamson, who are “transgender” and competed in the race as “women,” finished first and second, knocking Kristin Chalmers down to the lowest spot on the podium. A picture of the three standing together during the award ceremony went viral, showing a towering man standing in the first-place position.
Gaines responded by offering to cover the prize money for any woman who would refuse to compete under such circumstances.
Two men take 1st & 2nd at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships yesterday. @usacycling has 2 categories for men and none for women
Any woman who concedes and doesn’t compete, I will personally pay them the prize money they’re missing out on. Stop participating in the farce
