Dr. Rachel McKinnon / Dr. Veronica Ivy / Rhys McKinnon / Rachel Veronica McKinnon / Foxy Moxy / SportIsARight - failed out of a tenured job, fat man who competes in womens sports, bougie landlord, ex"platonic life partners" with a fat pedo- moved home to canada in 2021

[anionfarflung]

Probably super-duper late, but I didn't see this in the first post: his salary.
archive

I work in the same "industry," and you can bet the first thing I do when I meet a colleague is to snoop the database for his salary.


Edit: he's on page 12 of 13 (only 1 name on page 13) of associate professors, salaries listed from highest to lowest. Too bad his IQ wasn't high enough for STEM.

 

[OttoWest]

I wonder who the real Veronica or Ivy in Rhys' life is? Are they even aware of him and him taking their name.

I'm assuming like with most MtF troons, the name they pick is already taken by a woman known to them in some creepy way.
EG. an ex, a girl is high school that rejected them, their estranged mother/sibling, a name a friend/family member had picked out for their child etc.

What was Rhys' ex wife called again?

The ex is Morgan. Mom is Janet. Among the known aunts and cousins no matches. Probably a fictional character or porn associated.

 

[Second Missing Primarch]

The ex is Morgan. Mom is Janet. Among the known aunts and cousins no matches. Probably a fictional character or porn associated.

There's a tweet somewhere upthread where he claims that Veronica is what his parents would have named him if "they'd gotten it right the first time", or some shit like that.

Edit: here we go.

 

[anionfarflung]

There's a tweet somewhere upthread where he claims that Veronica is what his parents would have named him if "they'd gotten it right the first time", or some shit like that.

If they'd gotten right it the first time he would have been aborted.

 

[Where Do You Find Them?]

There's a tweet somewhere upthread where he claims that Veronica is what his parents would have named him if "they'd gotten it right the first time", or some shit like that.

I think he claimed Veronica was his middle name.

 

[Ceci]

I think he claimed Veronica was his middle name.

I think his story was that Veronica is the name his parents would have given him if he was a girl?

 

[Where Do You Find Them?]

I think his story was that Veronica is the name his parents would have given him if he was a girl?

It's both: https://twitter.com/SportIsARight/status/1163781756417380352

It's not uncommon for parents to make the middle name be the other name they had in mind.

 

[AnOminous]

No cummings for him either.

Ivy has high expectations on her students: she wants them all to be experts in Assigned Male and its ilk!

How does this retarded male think a name change will keep anyone at all from recognizing him? He works somewhere open to the public and engages in very public sports cheating. Nobody will have any problem finding him if they wish him ill.

What about when he is racing?

Rhys can change his name to Zippity-Do-Dah-Gabba-Gabba King Motherfucker or whatever he likes, he'll still be this dude:



He'll still be REEEEEs and he'll still be obviously a male. Is he one of those autistic guys who can't recognize faces so he assumes nobody else can?

 

[Amber the Hedgehog]

I think this name change is probably related that people have been refusing to call him by his new girly first names and just have been using his last name to be polite enough while not playing his game. “Ivy” is definitely used mostly as a female first name so this way he can force others to call him a girl. I would just call him a creep, it’s still technically gender neutral even if used mostly towards men like our Veronica Ivy.

 

[Mr Snoid]

If his parents got it "right", they would've named him Chunkybutt Bodine.

Why is he letting his parents choose his identity anyway? Aren't assigned names the Patriarchy's cattle brand? His name should be his own, an expression of his spirit and character... like Chunkybutt Bodine.

 

[Ted_Breakfast]

When Rhys accumulates enough failure, he jettisons his old name and adopts a new one. Next time, just having two girlish names won't be enough for this plodding behemoth to feel secure, it'll wind up being something like Brittany Angelica Luna-Quynn.

 

[Kosher Dill]

The good doctor's NYTimes op-ed is here:

There's nothing in there you haven't heard before if you read this thread though.
Looks like he's still using "Rachel McKinnon" for this, which makes it rather amusing that they link to the twitter of some other lady named Veronica Ivy.

I Won a World Championship. Some People Aren’t Happy.
This is not the beginning of the end of women’s sports. Trans women are women.

By Rachel McKinnon
Dr. McKinnon is an associate professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston and a professional track cyclist.

The velodrome in Manchester, England, is a beautiful, fast indoor track. Its corners are gentle, and the temperature and humidity are well managed for speed. In October, racing in Manchester, I broke the masters women’s world record in the 200-meter time trial by 0.24 seconds with a time of 11.649 seconds. This race happened during qualification for the Female 35-39 Sprint event. My record is still slower than records in the 40-44 and 45-49 age categories.

People are angry because I’m a transgender woman, and I race in the women’s category.

Soon after my win, Donald Trump Jr. threw a Twitter tantrum about me. I’ve seen a huge uptick in the volume of hate mail I’ve received in the weeks since. I have four people who monitor my Instagram to delete hateful messages; they’ve been overwhelmed by the volume. Twitter is far worse. I’ve received death threats, but I try not to dwell on them.

People love to claim that I cheated. I didn’t. Cycling’s governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale, has no doubts that I followed all of the rules. I completed an antidoping test to ratify my world record. I didn’t use any suspicious or dangerous tactics in any of my races. (They’re still on YouTube; you can watch them for yourself).

Many want me to race against men. I have news for them: I’m not allowed. I’m legally female. My birth certificate, passport, driver’s license, U.S. permanent resident card, medical records and my racing license all have an “F” on them. The Union Cycliste Internationale, USACycling, Cycling Canada, the Canadian and United States governments and the state of South Carolina all agree that I’m female.

The rules require me to race in the women’s category. That’s exactly where I belong: I am a woman, after all. I am female as well.

In addition to competing in masters track cycling, which is age-restricted in five-year increments, I compete in elite events each summer. My best result was a bronze in 2018. My best elite result in 2019 was eighth. I am far from the fastest female track cyclist in the world.

The elite women’s 200-meter record was set in September by Canadian Kelsey Mitchell (who only started racing two years ago!) at 10.154 seconds. My masters world record is 13 percent slower than hers. My current elite world ranking in the Sprint event is 105th. Ms. Mitchell is on her way to represent Canada at the 2020 Olympics. I am not.

I returned home from the 2019 Masters Track Cycling World Championships with a gold in the sprint, a silver in the 500-meter time trial, and another world champion’s rainbow jersey.

Some people think this is unfair because I used to have more testosterone in my body, once upon a time. They think this, even though my body hasn’t been able to produce testosterone for seven years. I transitioned in 2012. My testosterone levels are so low that they’re undetectable, and have been that way since 2012.

Some people think it’s unfair because they claim my body developed differently than many other women’s bodies. But women come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, and some elite cyclists are even bigger than me. I’m six feet tall and weigh 190 pounds. Dutch track cyclist Elis Ligtlee, an Olympic gold medalist, is taller and heavier than me at 6 foot 1 inches and 198 pounds.

She towered over Kristina Vogel, who at 5 foot 3 inches and 136 pounds, was the more accomplished track sprinter. Bigger isn’t necessarily faster. While they were still competing, these women were clearly much faster than me. I wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Every elite athlete has competitive advantages. Some are physical; consider the 2016 Olympic women’s high jump final. The average height of the gold, silver and bronze medalists was 6 foot 2 inches. Ruth Beitia, at slightly over 6 foot 3 inches, won gold. The woman who tied for 10th, Inika McPherson, is 5 foot 5 inches tall. And we consider a 10-inch difference in height in an Olympic high jump final to be fair.

Other advantages are social or economic. Some athletes have access to the best coaches, the best equipment, the best facilities, and others don’t. Some athletes are better at tactics, or better at pushing through pain and discomfort. We already permit huge competitive advantages and call them fair, even within women’s sport.

If you think I have an unfair competitive advantage, consider this: I lose most of my races. I won five out of 22 events in 2019; none of those I won were against strong international fields. The woman who took second place to me in the masters world championship sprint event, Dawn Orwick, beat me just days earlier in the 500-meter time trial. In the 12 times I’ve raced against Jennifer Wagner, who finished third to my first place in the sprint event in 2018, she beat me in seven. Wagner has beaten me more times than I’ve beaten her, head-to-head. How can I have an unfair advantage over her if she beats me most of the time? And why should my right to compete be contingent on not winning?

The Union Cycliste Internationale currently follows the International Olympic Committee’s policies on gender. Trans people have been welcome in the Olympics since the I.O.C. first adopted a trans-inclusion policy in 2003. The I.O.C. updated their policy in 2015 to make it possible for trans people to compete without genital surgery.

Since the 2004 Athens Olympics, there have been over 54,000 Olympians. Not one of them has been openly trans. There also weren’t any cases of men pretending to be (trans) women.

Next year, there are a few athletes who have the potential to become the first openly trans athlete to compete in the Games. None are a medal favorite. This is not the beginning of the end of women’s sports.

Trans women are women. We are female. And we are not taking over. No openly trans woman has set an open elite world record in any sport (remember: mine is in masters racing). No openly trans woman has won an elite world championship in any sport, let alone a medal.

There haven’t been any reported cases of gender fraud, where a male athlete is given a female passport or birth certificate by an unscrupulous nation, for the purposes of slipping a “man” into a women’s Olympic event. If there were going to be mass gender fraud, we’d have seen it by now.

The I.O.C.’s Olympic Charter has Seven Fundamental Principles of Olympism in its Olympic Charter. Number four begins, “The practice of sport is a human right.”

It is a human right to be able to compete. I will continue to show up. I hope you’ll consider cheering.

This reads like someone's old train-of-thought bullshit LiveJournal post. Which is par for the course for Rhys, but you'd think he'd put a smidge more effort in when he's writing for the NYT, ffs.

"I am a woman! It's my right! WAH LISTEN TO ME TALK ABOUT MYSELF!" What a professionally written paper. My cat could write more professionally.. and people would be more interested in what she has to say.

 

[Positron]

"Trans women are women"
"Human rights"
"No trans women has won in Elite level."
What a fucking bore.

"Many want me to race against men. I have news for them: I’m not allowed. I’m legally female."
I think some athletes have stated that Rhys (or for that matter any genuine women) has the right to race against men.

 

[Aes Sedai]

"Trans women are women"
"Human rights"
"No trans women has won in Elite level."
What a fucking bore.

"Many want me to race against men. I have news for them: I’m not allowed. I’m legally female."
I think some athletes have stated that Rhys (or for that matter any genuine women) has the right to race against men.

Herr Doktorused to say “no trans woman has won or competed in the Olympics” but now says no openly trans woman has won. I wonder what Rhys learned to cause a change of wording.

 

[Spastic Colon]

All you need to do to refute his narrative is show the training schedule of Rhys and the training schedule of his competitors. Sure, he doesn't always win because he's too much of a lardass to put in the work. At the very elite levels, even if he did do the work -- he'd still lose because he's just not that great at sports in general.

Even if he lost every single competition, so what? It isn't the fact that he wins that is the only problem. He just shouldn't be there in the first place. In his event, he can't do much physical harm to his competitors. Other trans athletes, though, put even their own teammates in physical danger because of the size and strength differential.

He likes to paint it as just a bunch of bitter women mad because they lost. But, that's not the real issue here. The issue is access to women's spaces. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. He gets put in the spotlight more because of the added insult to injury of taking away medals from women. But, it would still be just as wrong for him to be there even if he came in dead last every single race.

Rhys, we don't object just because you are winning. We object because YOU ARE A MAN.

 

[Sevenatenine]

Rhys pretends Kelsey Mitchell is in any way like him...she was a university soccer player, recruited directly into cycling, before she finished her last season. The level of training she has done is light years beyond Rhys' home built, formless, uneducated lifting.

She's more similar to Clara Hughes, an Olympic speedskater who was recruited into track cycling.

 

[Potatis Salad]

What, NYT, no comments section? Is that normal for the Op-Ed page? If anybody finds it on social media where it's open to comment from the public, please post it. It's not yet on the main NYT Twitter or the @nytopinion Twitter.

 

[IMayUseSpaces]

these arguments are just so, so tired and nonsensical. Let me save you all some effort:

Dr. McKinnon is an associate professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston and a professional track cyclist.

Any normal person would wonder why this freak is teaching anyone anything, except where to not end up in life, but we are in after all

no one cares. Also lol @ 'the corners are gentle', I love when Rachel waxes poetry.

I've seen a huge uptick in the volume of hate mail I’ve received in the weeks since. I have four people who monitor my Instagram to delete hateful messages; they’ve been overwhelmed by the volume. Twitter is far worse. I’ve received death threats, but I try not to dwell on them.

no troon is complete without false claims of death threats and victimization that somehow never end up in arrests! Also 'I try not to dwell on it, I only bring it up a few times a day'

If these results were you using, I'd get a refund from my dealer. Also lol @ dangerous tactics, nothing dangerous at all about a dude in a women's sport. Fucking faggot

Many want me to race against men.

many just want to see you in an asylum

The rules require me to race in the women’s category.

bullshit faggot

Power levelling about mediocre cycling and racing career despite massive biological advantage. I am far from the fastest female track cyclist in the world.

fixed that for you
