@kateweatherly: All respect goes to you for your decision on changing genders however, I believe that you have much more of an advantage than the other biological women riders. Clearly men are naturally faster than the women riders and as shown the top men’s race times are a lot faster than the top women’s race times. With you being a new fast competitor for the women field this could potentially ruin future careers for some of the top women riders. You have been riding in the male section previously and placing on the podium as you said, your skill, ability and brains in riding will not go away with a sex change. You have stated that you are unable to race as fast as when you were a male however you still have a greater chance at doing better than the women as of male features that will stay with you forever. I do not think you should be riding competitively against the women and if downhill for you is your number one passion than continue riding for fun.
