Transgender Track Athlete Wins CT State Championship, Debate Ensues
CBS Local ^ | 13 June 2018

Posted on 06/13/2018 1:43:17 PM PDT by Thistooshallpass9

Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood dominated the competition at Connecticut’s girls track and field state championships earlier this week. Miller took 1st place in both the 100 and 200 meter dash, while Yearwood finished second in the 100. According to News 8 in Hartford, CT, both Miller and Yearwood are transgender which has some people saying that the pair had an unfair advantage.

According to News 8, petitions have been started by some parents and student-athletes to try and change the policy that allows athletes in high schools to compete for the gender specific sport they identify with. But, the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference says in order for that to happen, state law would also need to change. The station spoke to several people who were largely in favor of allowing Miller and Yearwood to compete against the girls.

“You have some people who believe men are stronger and faster so I can understand if an athlete is born male but identifying as a female and compete as one, some females will feel a particular way about it,” Clinton Baker said.

“If she identifies as a girl then I think she should be able to run in the race because she can use the ladies room, she can wear a skirt, why not run and stay active,” Natasha Morgan said.

“The cream rises to the top,” Baker added. “Athletes now will tell you if you put UConn women on the court with men, UConn men might lose. It’s all in the spirit of competition, hard work and heart.”

Connecticut isn’t the only state in which the debate about transgender athletes in high school sports has taken place. In Texas, Mack Beggs, the two-time girls state wrestling champion, has been forced by state law to wrestle against girls despite transitioning from girl to boy because the policy there forces athletes to compete in the gender that is on their birth certificate.

No debate AFAIC. Only two sexes in mammals.

The contradictions and absurdities that are built into modern-day leftism are so numerous and so glaring. One would think they could be exploited on a daily basis to blow it apart, or at least keep it off-balance and on the defensive.

Debate?! There is no debate! A mentally ill boy ran in a girl event and beat them! I guess we are going to need to separate everything: boys varsity track, girls track, mental illness track.

total BS....

the best boys HS bb team can not compete against the NBA..or Villanova....

one competes against their class...

girls should compete against girls...

girls should not have to compete against boys with their little jiggly thing between their legs and all that testosterone...

if a boy wants to complete as a girl, then he should either be undergoing surgery plus do whatever they do to reduce their testosterone...

there was a case last year in Alaska IIRC that a girl was "transitioning" to be a boy, and was taking testosterone shots, and naturally she/he won against the girls...

First elbow to the face and the game and experiment is over.

I watched the video of the 100 meter. The look on those (real) girls’ faces at the end of the race said it all. I wouldn’t blame any of em if they refused to compete anymore. Liberalism destroys everything it touches....EVERYTHING, including HS girls sports....sad.

“Connecticut isn’t the only state in which the debate about transgender athletes in high school sports has taken place.”

That is because Ct is infested & infected with sick twisted liberals, once again highlighting the fact that liberalism is a mental disease.

Only if the men were asleep. Otherwise, there is zero chance of that happening.

the UCONN women could not beat even the lamest men's college team...not even close...

the only way this insanity ends if the parents of the girls SUE for a billion bucks...their pathways to a championship ring and a scholarship have been stolen from them, as well as their self esteem....

if we have to have trannies, then there better be rules to follow....limits...

“Feminists” leading the fight to make women second class citizens. Taking away their right to compete in fair sporting matches.

Very, very good point. Yup.

This nonsense will only stop if women and women athletes want it to stop. I don’t think they will. Maybe when the scholarships start to suffer.

Make them get the transition surgery first before they can qualify to compete.

This is actually GREAT, imagine how many teenagers will be red pilled by this sorta of thing.

They go to school and get constant indoctrination then they have to confront it directly and it all gets undone by liberals grasping too far...

“Men and womans are equal”

Teenage girl Goes to track meet and gets beat by a gender bending dude

“HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!!”
