A Biological Man Who's Beating the Hell Out of Women in Women's Cycling Competitions Has Some Thoughts About "Toxic Masculinity"

One aspect of toxic masculinity, I've frequently read, is invading Female Spaces with you Masculine energy. And masculine bone density, and masculine musculature.

I wonder if that's what he means.

Spoiler: No, it's not what he means.

This weekend, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman and who won a global cycling championship last year complained about how "toxic masculinity" makes women feel uncomfortable. Some feminists found this remarkably ironic.

"Toxic masculinity includes not being able to recognize when women are deeply uncomfortable with your behavior or presence," Rachel McKinnon, an assistant professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, tweeted. McKinnon became infamous for winning the gold medal in the women's 35-54 age group in the 2018 Masters Track Cycling World Championships.

As the post from Tyler O'Neil notes, some women are in fact "deeply uncomfortable" having to compete with a biological man, but "Rachel" McKinnon gives no fucks about that. He's too busy LARPing.
