Transgender athletes dominate Illinois women’s cycling competition

A pair of transgender athletes captured gold and silver medals Sunday at a major Illinois women’s cycling competition.

The cyclists, identified as 25-year-old Tessa Johnson and 30-year-old Evelyn Williamson (both of whom are biological males who identify as transgender women), took home first and second place, respectively, in the women’s Single Speed competition of the Illinois State Cyclocross Championship, according to a report.

Along with a gold medal, Johnson, who competed in men’s cycling at Clemson University, also finished third in the female half race, which netted the transgender athlete a $100 prize.

Johnson has no major accomplishments in men’s cycling, the report noted, but Johnson and Williamson have both appeared to find success in women’s cycling.

The pair also finished first and second in October’s Chicago CycloCross Cup, according to the report.

Their apparent newfound success in women’s cycling has drawn the ire of several advocates.

“Two men take 1st & 2nd at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships yesterday,” former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines said on X, the social media website once known as Twitter.

“@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,” Gaines said.

Tennis great Martina Navratilova echoed Gaines.

“More mediocre male bodies taking podium places from female athletes,” Navratilova posted to X. “And it stinks!!!!”
