Congratulation Chelsea Mitchell

Would this not be a good legal case based on Title IX?
I really want Selina Soule and those #4,5,6...placers to fight this!
One article mentioned that another athlete's father from Glaxtonbury (sp?) School might be organizing something, but I cannot find any more info. WOLF?
This needs to happen before the Equality Act passes.

Has there ever been a woman called Terry before?

Let me introduce you to one - ME. Short for Therese.

This is fucking appalling. Facts not feelings.

Sorry for typos.

Making it a stipulation that young men, boys are castrated is a no from me.

What are that org thinking with this rule???

' Post-pubescent transgender girls must have completed sex-reassignment surgery'

This is also speaking as post puberty is still really fucking young and easy too young to be having these types of surgeries.

The new rules are fucked as well.

Need to stop looking for a 'compromise' there isn't one. Males /boys /men compete against each other and EVERYONE knows what those words mean.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone ignored the trans winners on the podium and cheered and applauded the third (or first) woman to gain a place ..

Congrats Chelsea, a bit of a weird race with those two young men getting in the way, but well done all the same.

Rachel McKinnon interviewed on R4 today also focussed on testosterone levels, as if that is the only factor.

America needs feminists urgently.

Remember too that in the USA competitions like this are a vital step for some women to get university scholarships.

Yup. This is horseshit.

Absolutely, Lamaha. I saw a reference to the girl who would have finished 8th, saying that she's now been done out of the chance to go to the next tier of competitions up - which is where all the college scouts go to watch.

Someone should ask McKinnon why McKinnon hates girl children.

Remember too that in the USA competitions like this are a vital step for some women to get university scholarships. They might literally be taking away the education of girls. Changing lives. Must be very bitter for girls who missed their chance.

This has peak-transed me all over again - WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?

McKinnon is frantically tweeting about this at the moment. Apparently it's completley fair, and anyone complaining about it is a bigot who hates children

So Miller and Yearwood are mediocre against the male field....

The ridiculousness of this:
National Scholastic Athletics Foundation national championships in March. The group recently adopted new rules allowing pre-pubescent girls to participate with their affirmed gender, though no ages are specified. Post-pubescent transgender girls must have completed sex-reassignment surgery and “a sufficient amount of time must have passed” after the operation or hormone therapy “to minimize gender-related competitive advantages.”

Is that pre-pubescent transgender girls are the same as pre-pubescent actual girls.
the differences in physique and physical strength and hormones happens during puberty

Thanks Betty

A simple graph like that speaks volumes.

At some point, presumably, they will have to revoke the new ‘records’, on the basis they are essentially unbeatable?

A poster on Reddit GC made this graph. It plots Yearwood and Miller’s times against the boys and girls categories.

This is so appalling. There isn't even any pretence of transition here to hang the vaguest of argument on. This is just two teenage boys pissing all over a girls race and achievements. Just bottom of the barrel systemic abuse of females.

One of their competitors, Selina Soule, says the issue is about fairness on the track with wider implications. The Glastonbury High School junior finished eighth in the 55, missing out on qualifying for the New England regionals by two spots.

Thats shocking..really shocking.

Congrats on 1st place Chelsea. Sorry these boys stole it from you.

This has made me so angry this morning I had to tweet that article
So demoralising for the girls. We should all get on twitter congratulating Chelsea for her win. Because she is the winner. Cheats should never be enabled. It is disgraceful and I am so shocked and surprised at those falling over themselves to justify blatant cheating in sport.

So two cheaters took a spot from a rightful qualifier. Disgusting.

Agreed.

And well done, Chelsea. I am sorry that you lost to cheaters. You ran a good ran and so did the girls who came fourth and fifth.

Yearwood is currently 17 so definitely post-puberty. Can’t envisage how Yearwood intends to comply with the National Scholastic rules - perhaps an attempt to change them is already underway behind the scenes?

I certainly wouldn’t want young trans people to feel forced into sex reassignment surgery before the age of majority (and equally Male-bodied people shouldn’t be in sports competitions for girls). 😬

Here's the link. It makes me furious.
