Adding, “The real winner of women’s category was Amanda Aussems with a time of 1:30.39. Congrats to her and the other female runners.”
Ravichandran, posted a response on Instagram, writing, “This is so dumb, I ran a 71-minute half marathon pre-estrogen, less than two weeks after a marathon. For this totally fresh half, I ran 84 minutes. I’ve become way slower – like 18%, my body is physiologically a woman’s body now.”
“Yet they still don’t want me competing. It’s clear that they just don’t want trans people in sports in general, and they actually don’t care about biology,” claimed the athlete.
Adding, “I need to remind myself that these people have nothing better to do with their lives and spend all their energy being bigots. I also need to stop opening up stuff when I’m tagged, but morbid curiosity sometimes takes over me.”
“Agh. Just feel like s—,” concluded Ravichandran.
