"Rebecca, 28, “as a trans woman I’ve been told I’m not welcome on the cycling track by UCI, at the same time they allow a petrochemical company to field a team showing they have no real care for people. I take to the track to point out this hypocrisy and stand for a better future”"

Shell produces, among other things, resins used so much in modern bicycles' carbon fiber

Can't recycle them either. You could potentially downcycle carbon fibers but I'm pretty sure in most places they'll just end up in the incinerator, or somewhere in nature.

JFC lady pick a point to be outraged about and stick to it!

She did. She's just protesting alongside others who are protesting for different reasons.

How frustrating, it's far easier to dismiss them when they're a faceless homogeneous mass.

I kind of agree with you. Those points are so completely unrelated, it just makes the cause look stupid. Even if you agree with both causes.
