A two-time Olympian has ripped rules that allowed a transgender runner to beat nearly 14,000 women in the female category of the London Marathon.
Mara Yamauchi — who finished sixth in the marathon at the 2008 Beijing Olympics — lashed out after trans racer Glenique Frank, 54, gushed to the BBC about using “girl power” to run the key UK race on Sunday.
“Males in the [female] category is UNFAIR for females,” Yamauchi tweeted alongside a clip of the mid-race interview by the sports bra-wearing runner who also gushed about soon becoming “a gran.”
“Nearly 14,000 actual females suffered a worse finish position [because] of” Frank, wrote Yamauchi — who said that even when she was “ranked second in the world” as a woman, “at least 1300 men ran faster than me.”
She noted how UK Athletics applied World Athletics’ rules on the exclusion of transgender women from elite female competitions at the end of March to make it “fair for athletes who have gone through male puberty to be excluded from the female category in athletics.”
However, it allowed those who had already entered races to still compete in categories that were not their biological sex.
“This male competed under UK Athletics’ transitional arrangements, but it is still wrong and unfair,” Yamauchi told Telegraph Sport.

Well, if the 14,000 women had just run faster there wouldn’t have been an issue!!
Since he cheated it seems fair to me that the 14,000 women now have a chance to beat (the crap out of) him.
Women don’t know half as much about what it takes to be a woman than men do.
You go girl!
Women are gonna have to put a stop to this crap and quite being so damn PC.
There is something pathetic about this type of behavior by MEN
Apparently, they'll have to do so without the help of "feminism."
I remember when they would eliminate women from competition if there was even a whiff of male sex hormones found in the tests. Now we have men as fake women who have muscles that have benefited from natural male sex hormones. The entire fraud is a deceitful distortion of biology.
They’re just guys who couldn’t score in sports as men.
It’s now a global phenomenon....like Covid.

True. They are engaging in the same fraud that East German women did with Performance Enhancing Hormone Doping (PEHD).
What happened to the MEN who SHOULD be protecting the women? I guess we’ve all become too wussified. Saddens me to see women having to do all the work. If rank and file men are too afraid to enter the fray, some of them could be so bold as to do it in their capacities as being Board-members on this or that Athletic Commission, or official Organization overseeing the workings of women’s sports.
