Transgender Athlete Wins The Women’s National Title
After previously competing in the men’s division, a transgender woman has taken home the gold after winning the 400-meter hurdles in an NCAA event. Her name is Cece Telfer, and she has taken home the Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships gold during the 2019 NCAA competition in Kingsville, Texas in May. Despite the fact that the senior at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire was born male, she identifies as a female and has been afforded the right to compete with other females in the sanctioned NCAA event.
Despite the fact that Telfer competed in the male division as recently as January 2018, she finished her senior year competing with other women. She has undergone gender reassignment surgery and thus qualified to compete with other women in the 2019 track and field season.

Where are the women who are turning into fake men winning? If there is no benefits in this craziness the trans men would also be winning against real biological men. All I read is the women losing.
Gender reassignment provided it with an aerodynamic advantage of not having any junk flopping around
Because the majority of women say it qualifies by voting for the party that's pushing this garbage.
Only thing crazier than a transgender is one who supports it.
Long long legs. This person did go through the surgery process and not just claiming to be a transgender.
However, this is what the rabid feminista’s wanted and support, sucks to be the other women.
Women athletes could stop this absurdity right now by simply forming up and holding a line. But they won’t because that would be “mean”.
This dude is almost a foot taller, has all his muscle mass; and leftists are OK with this!?
Surgical drag athlete. (Fixed it)
Neither the surgery nor the hormones change their biological history that determined what their body has become. The surgery and the hormones provide a surface means to pretend to be a different sex than they truly are, they do not change the true sex-distinct biological nature of their body.
“Who makes these decisions?”
The main determination for these guidelines is established by the International Olympic Committee. Under the previous IOC guidelines, approved in 2003, athletes who transitioned from male to female or vice versa were required to have reassignment surgery followed by at least two years of hormone therapy in order to be eligible to compete.
Female to male athletes have almost no restrictions. They basically have the requirement to qualify. And many do through sports like Equestrian or sailing that don’t pit a need for strength to compete as much as finesse. And there are also mixed competitions like badminton. tennis, and luge in the winter.
As of 2016, male-to-female transgender athletes needed to demonstrate that their testosterone level had been below a certain cutoff point for at least one year before their first competition.
In 2019, the IOC re-tabled the 2016 guidelines. But plans by the International Olympic Committee to introduce stricter guidelines for transgender athletes before the Tokyo 2020 Games have run into the sand because its panel of scientists is struggling to reach agreement on such a thorny issue.
The scientists had been expected to recommend halving the permitted testosterone levels for trans women competing in elite sport. However, several sources have confirmed that the IOC’s draft guidelines have been parked, for now, because the whole subject is so politically charged and sensitive. So the 2016 guidelines are still in effect. And in he US, because the NCAA, National Federation of High Schools, the AAU, and most major amateur athletic associations are a step toward the Olympics, and related competitions that take their cues from the OIC, they pretty much have the final say.

There was really no reason to waste peoples’ time and money showing up to watch a genetic man compete against genetic women. What kind of “victory” was this? Actually, the only thing on display was libtard agenda-driven stupidity, not the speed of the runners. The gay lobbying machine has thus ruined yet another wholesome aspect of living. Add that to the Boy Scouts of America, story time reading at libraries, etc. All for a small minority of mentally ill people to sound off.
Read the part I quoted again. Carefully.
What phrase/ exhortation would you suggest to get non-FR women off their asses to start contacting politicians on this?
I have been sending articles to my MOR list for a year and all I get back is “there’s nothing we can do...”
Real girls are being denied college admissions and scholarships because of men invading women's sports. I can't wait to see the US soccer team in 2022 or the WNBA in a few more years. Sorry girls, libs care more about their progressive agenda then they do about women's (real women) rights.
Girls, the lesson here is never ever vote for a Democrat.
They should have walked off the field.
“Women’s Sports” no longer exist.
Liberals. Idiots. Libiots.
What I read is that the T levels of a tran has to be in a range that is natural for a woman. Something like 5% of what a man’s is. I have also read is that, that is very hard for a biological male to achieve. If so, I doubt we will see a lot of tranies winning in women’s sports at the O any time soon.
