The Latest “Boys Beat Girls In Track Event” Story
Hot Air ^ | June | Jazz Shaw

Posted on 06/10/2018 7:25:31 PM PDT by Hojczyk

On Monday, when Connecticut had its State Open track and field championships at Willow Brook Park, one person broke the State Open records for girls in both the 100 and 200-meter runs.

That person was a biological boy.

Terry Miller of Bulkeley, a transgender, won the events. In the 100 meter dash, the runner-up was Andraya Yearwood of Cromwell, also a transgender.

Here are the two races:

Yearwood won the Class M sprint titles last year; Miller competed on the boys’ team during the winter indoor season then joined the girls’ competition.

Feel free to fly into a fit because someone chooses to state the obvious facts out loud, but Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood are not girls. They’re boys, with the physique of boys and impressive athletic prowess. This wasn’t some local meet for bragging rights between local schools. This was a state-level event which would determine who went on to the New England championships. It’s also a pathway for many girls to secure a college scholarship.

CIAC executive director Karissa Niehoff had this to say. “We do feel for them. Fully agree it doesn’t feel good. The optic isn’t good. But we really do have to look at the bigger issues that speak to civil rights and the fact this is high school sports.”

LOL. But it's Connecticut; the parents got exactly what they've been voting for all these years: "I'm with her!", "Hope and change!", "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow!"

Sweet, sweet schadenfreude baby!

Some of them know, and some of them don’t but just go along with the “peer group.”

You poor dear. Did you not watch all the groups of girls championing the rights of the homosexuals and LGBT people on campuses across the nation?

Where the hell have you been?

You reap what you sew.

Ha ha ha...

Sorry you tuned out, but women did protest on school campuses across the nation championing the rights of LGBT people.

You really don’t remember that?

This was answered in another thread. Parents did do something years ago and judges ruled against them. Now the worst-case scenarios are coming to pass. People will do whatever it takes to win if the rules and the laws allow it.

" It’s just going to get schools — especially public schools — out of the business of running sports teams."

Public Schools are not good at teaching Mathematics, Science, the English Language and practical real life subjects involving the trades. What business do they have being involved in Sports given today's hostile environment?

Exactly.

This agenda is ultimately an attack against masculinity that the Left has convinced most women to be a good thing.

Ironically, the ‘toxic masculinity’ is displayed in full force sporting a dress on the girls’ track.

At least it should be required that every male who claims transgender status must go through a complete tool exchange before competing.

Boys disguised as girls is a foolish embarrassment to any authority involved in the fraudulent race.

Did you happen to notice the attack on my manhood, as if I ever used Viagra in the first place?

Yikes.

Some people can’t handle the truth, and it’s very telling what tactics they adopt at the drop of a hat.

Whether you call them boys or girls it does not matter. If someone has a big pile of testosterone in their body, giving them big, fast, strong muscles then they should not be allowed in the girls race. It has nothing to do with your mental gender. It has everything to do with the amount of male steroids you have.

I don’t understand why the guy/gal would be proud of him/herself for winning a race where he has such an advantage. He/she should feel like a cheat, not a winner.

I agree with that, and I will say that some girls also challenge the normal ability to play sports.

Some women have considerable more testosterone in their systems, and grow abnormally better than the rest of the women.

I don’t know how you fix that. So far it has just been allowed to take place, and I don’t really have an answer for it.

LOL, no way I’m getting between cherry and your manhood.

In fairness to cherry, I’m not familiar with her posts.

The Nazi did it first. Dora/Henrich Ratjen in the 1936 Olympics.

Wonder what other things the Nazis did will now be acceptable.

I don’t have much history with her either.

That’s why I can only reference what was said in this exchange.

Take care.

I don’t know what’s better - feminists having to tie themselves in knots to say how much better this is, or racial activists watching white men steal scholarships because they put on a dress...

Pass the popcorn, this should be fun.
