Abstract

Using data from an online survey of 211 heterosexual and 148 sexual and gender minority-identifying cyclists, this article examines the attitudes of both sexual and gender majorities towards sexual and gender minorities as well as the experiences of sexual and gender minorities in relation to each other, within the sport of cycling. The results show a culture of acceptance for LGB athletes with heightened antipathy towards transgender cyclists. However, this variance is not as large as might be expected given the media attention on transgender athletes in cycling, and sport more broadly. It therefore appears that the transgender social movement is drafting closely behind LGB inclusion within this sport.

起草后LGB:跨性别运动员在自行车运动

本文利用211名异性恋和148名性少数和性别少数自行车手的在线调查数据，研究了性多数和性别多数对性少数和两性少数的态度，以及性少数和性少数在自行车运动中相互关系的经历。研究结果显示，LGB运动员的接受文化对跨性别自行车运动员的反感加剧。然而，考虑到媒体对自行车和更广泛的体育运动中跨性别运动员的关注，这种差异并没有预期的那么大。因此，跨性别者社会运动似乎正密切支持LGB在这项运动中的融入。
