"Male becomes women's national champion, where have we seen this before" - Riley Gaines on transgender cyclist winning Cyclocross Championships

Riley Gaines has consistently advocated for the safety of women in sports by appealing for the exclusion of transgender women from women's sports. She recently called out Kylie Small, a trans woman, after the latter secured victory in the women's category of the National Cyclocross Championships.

Small secured the top spot in the women's category of single-speed, recording a time of 38.19 seconds while leaving behind Jennifer Malik, a female cyclist. The 2023 National Cyclocross Championships are being held at Joe Creason Park, Louisville, Kentucky, from December 5 to December 10.

Small competed in the men's under-23 category in last season's national championships, where the cyclist had to settle in the 44th position. Then known as Kyle Small, the cyclist recorded a time of 33:09 seconds.

Riley Gaines slammed the trans cyclist after she secured the top position on the podium this year.

Along with Small, Gaines also called out the president of the National Women's Law Center, Fatima Goss Graves, for a statement she made during the Title IX hearing that pushed for the inclusion of trans athletes in women's sports.

"Male becomes women's national champion. Where have we seen this before? In the wise words of @nwlc president, the girls who fell short should just learn to lose gracefully," Gaines wrote on X.
