The race did have a \u201cnon-binary\u201d category, but Mumford preferred to compete against women.<\/p>\n<p>Many took to social media to praise the two women who skipped the podium ceremony, seeing their absence as a \u201csilent protest\u201d against men in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe women are refusing to stand on the podium with the man! Well done!\u201d said Inga Thompson, a three-time Olympian and two-time medalist at the Tour de France.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough is enough!\u201d said Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer who has launched a campaign to protect women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n<p>Mumford is not the first man who has beat out actual women in the sport of cycling. Indeed, it has happened again and again in the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>In one recent example, a race in New Mexico pledged to award the winner of the women\u2019s category the same amount of prize money as the winner of the men\u2019s. The $33,350 purse for the women\u2019s race ended up going to a man.<\/p>\n<p>The phenomenon has even caused cyclo-cross champion Hannah Arensman to quit her sport after being forced to compete against one male cyclist after another, Breitbart reported.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Guardian, the governing body of world cycling has agreed to reopen talks about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-concedes-its-unfair-to-let-men-compete-in-womens-sports-with-new-rules-allowing-men-in-womens-sports\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Concedes It\u2019s Unfair To Let Men Compete In Women\u2019s Sports With New Rules Allowing Men In Women\u2019s Sports\">rules allowing men<\/a> to race against women \u2014 though it seems unlikely anything will change much.<\/p>\n<p>The left has opened the door to this kind of nonsense and too many have accepted it without question, unfairly allowing men to dominate women\u2019s competitions and showering them with accolades and trophies.<\/p>\n<h2>Meet Warner Todd Huston<\/h2>\n<p>Warner Todd Huston is not your average writer.
