There's an interview by Laura Ingraham here with Selina Soule who lost to two biologically male athletes in the Connecticut State Championship.

Laura went to the same school as Selina and cuts her off when she starts saying 'it's great that they are being true to themselves', and basically says 'this is just cheating'. She doesn't have a lot of time for Selina's attempt to be nice.

This is a different athlete in a different arena but the same thing.

(note I previously linked to this same latter story, however MN did not like the source and has deleted the thread, so I have provided this ultra-woke LGBT source.

Their argument amounts to 'the transgender athlete only won SOME of the events, not everything, there was still room for other women to win in those events' )

A very courageous, poised young woman. She got her point across very well indeed and is clearly no bigot. I hope that she has a lot of support.

That interviewer was brilliant! So frustrated. And I hadn't thought of the scholarships that these girls will lose out on, either. "Get your parents involved" was very good advice, I thought.

I really hope Martina sees this. These girls are exactly the people we should all be behind.

We need to support these brave young women, must be so hard for them at the moment.

I thought the interviewer was brilliant! V brave of Selina to speak out
