"Student who lost track championship to transgender athletes speaks out"

We haven't even been allowed women's sport for 100 years in most events / disciplines

Boys and men who take away opportunities from women and girls should be embarassed and ashamed

Great article, saying it like it is.
www.louderwithcrowder.com/opinion-transwomen-men-who-compete-against-women-are-sexist-asshles/
Let me cover my bases here, as I don’t want to be accused of being exclusionary. Not only are transwomen (men who think they’re women but who are, and always will be, men) who compete against women sexist assholes, but the people who support transwomen (men) competing against women are also sexist assholes. I will not walk this statement back, not one tiny girl step. Furthermore, transwomen (men) who compete against women are not only not women but the very worst kind of men. Putting transwomen who compete against women on the bottom-most rung of the societal food chain. I am not sorry to state it, but I am sorry other women have to suffer the consequences of such awful men stealing opportunities from women.

Shocking that the girl is the one who speaks out about the unfairness, where are the adults, the coaches, the parents, the head Teachers? Why leave all this on the young girl athlete who will no doubt get a backlash for speaking the truth.

XY and XX categories will just be the first step to a whole lot of whining and pseudo science about what XX and XY is.

It's like ruddy Damien Whatzit from the NHS wanting to re brand cervical smears as for 'cervix havers' saying that 'people with cervixes include a group called women'. Sigh. No, Damien, that won't save you and it isn't the truth. Only women have cervixes. Some women do not want to call themselves women and have chosen other labels to call themselves. So have a computer system that's capable of recognising women and women who prefer to go by different names. They are all women, whether they want to be or not, and trying to pander about with 'cervix havers' discriminates against and confuses and disenfranchises the 99.99% of women who are fine with being called women and need those services.

Lying does not help anybody. Fudging unavoidable truths does not help anybody.

Breaking barriers = breaking the rules.

Respect to the young women for speaking out about the cheating in the race they lost.

there should be an XX category and an XY category of women's sport.

There is.

It’s called men’s sport and women’s sport.

Precisely.

That’s what you call a brave and stunning woman. Both of them. What a fantastic interviewer. But what a shame that Selina couldn’t actually come out and say what she actually wanted to say. I hope she doesn’t get any backlash for this.

Wow Selina huge respect; what a poised young woman.
Thanks for sharing that video

Either we have women's events for biological women or we don't. To have biological males competing in women's sport defeats the whole point of women's sport being separate.

I get that Transwomen want to BE women. I get that they think they ARE women. But they are not. Not until they can change their fundamental biology, which hormones don't do.

Since when does a minority, who are significantly phyisically stronger, get to trample all over the rights of 50% of the population? Or maybe I've just answered my own question.

nauticant lolz

What a good interview - so clear about the unfairness and cheating.

All strength to Selina.

Incredibly brave of her to speak out-

The impact on her and many other girls being denied opportunities in this way is huge.

I can not get my head round anyone justifying this as "fair" for the biological girls. They are being sacrificed for political correctness gone mad.

Where trans women post pics holding baseball bats on twitter and feign ignorance as to the message it sends.

I thought the message was "look at my lovely stick".

As we know, "look at my lovely stick" is a popular type of selfie in the transwomen community.

There should be an "X-only" category to allow for XX and higher orders, and a "mixed" category where some Y can be included.

Does this mean girls will miss out on college scholarships?

yes. It also means she will miss out on opportunities for admission to colleges - with or without scholarship money. Highly competitive athletes are often offered a commitment by highly competitive colleges. My daughter's friend was offered a place at a college that would have otherwise been a real stretch for her because she is highly competitive in crew/rowing. If she couldn't get in front of those coaches, then this wouldn't have happened.

Yes there have been cases of women missing scholarships already in the USA.

Welcome to our brave new stunning world huns. Where trans women post pics holding baseball bats on twitter and feign ignorance as to the message it sends.

The solution is to have paralympic categories for trans.

Paralympic movement's mission statement is to bring opportunities for impaired athletes to achieve excellence.

Brave young woman you are Selina. Totally agree it's about fairness not demonisation.

Unless of course we want more women's teams like this.....

there should be an XX category and an XY category of women's sport.

There is.

It’s called men’s sport and women’s sport.

An XY category of women’s sport makes literally no sense.

The cut-off to advance from the state to the regional championships was #6. So she otherwise would be competing and getting the attention of college athletics coaches, but has literally been denied by the two transgender competitors.

That is fucking outrageous.

Does this mean girls will miss out on college scholarships?

At this level, it's all about scholarships for college.

Who knows how many girls will be missing out on furthering their education?

Xx xy categories are a great solution.

Men stomping alll over women’s sports. Gah!

What there needs to be is a split in women's sport. In the same way that athletes missing a leg are not expected to compete in the same category as athletes missing an arm because they are physically too different, there should be an XX category and an XY category of women's sport.
