Well, I was going to ask what the second-place finisher is thinking, but we know what the third place finisher thought:

I was the 3rd place rider. It’s definitely NOT fair.

Cinepro,

I perused her Twitter profile thanks to your link. This lady really puts her heart and soul into her racing, and I think it's incredibly unfair of a male to rob her of a win or a higher placement just because he has some sort of identity dysphoria going on. She seems like a winner and I really admire the energy and effort she puts into living.

I feel bad for fellas who feel like ladies, and want to compete in lady things because that's their thing. I do. But it's just not fair to the women who put their hearts and souls into their sport. Perhaps we just create a transgender FTM and MTF and whatever else category so they can compete and receive recognition for their hard work, too? I wouldn't have any issues with that.
