Trump singled me out for ruining women's sport. This is my response to him | Austin Killips
Briefly

The article discusses the intersection of sports, gender, and identity following Donald Trump's criticism of transgender participation in women's sports. The author recounts their experience breaking a women's cycling record and the subsequent cultural implications. They highlight the unique nature of events like the Arizona Trail Race, which do not adhere to traditional regulations, and express frustration at not receiving recognition or support from the sports industry despite their achievements. Ultimately, the author argues that discussions about gender inclusion in sports often overshadow the athletes’ experiences and contributions beyond these narratives.
