Transgender woman will become the first ever to compete at US Olympic marathon trials for a spot in Tokyo

Megan Youngren will become the first openly transgender female athlete to compete at the United States Olympic marathon trials.

The 29-year-old will make history on February 29 in Atlanta, where she will compete against 63 women for a spot on the Olympic team to compete at the Summer Games in Tokyo later this year.

Youngren began her transition from a male to a female when she was a college student in 2011, according to Sports Illustrated. She also started taking hormone medication that year, and in 2012, she came out publicly as transgender.

She officially finalized her transition last year, submitting the necessary paperwork.

Wait for ‘this’ to make the team then OUR ‘ambulance chaser lawyer types’ will go hunt up all the E Germans and Chinese who were banned for life (probably executed for getting caught) back in the 60s etc for competing as women AND from what I understand they had the right plumbing just some problem with blood work....<: <: <:

Because the Astros are the ONLY team to ‘cheat’?

No, I don't think they were the only ones. I think the Red Sox under Alex Cora were doing the same thing (and I think MLB will do NOTHING about it). But the Astros' 2017 title is now forever tainted. I'm just not jazzed about watching them this year.

First ever? Anyone remember Henirich/Dora Ratjen who participated as a woman in the 1936 Olympics with Nazi approval?

abortions, eugenics will be the next big thing. PP was founded by a racist so it is not that big of a leap.

Having separate categories for women makes them look like second class citizens. I thought the USSC did away with "Separate, But Equal?"

I've seen enough movies to know that women are just as good as, if not better than, men.

It's time to tear down these artificial barriers and let the men face the women...what are they afraid of?

The world is a violent place.

Much different than the US.

Can you imagine the security
for this person just to get them
to the starting line at the Olympics?

When the starter pistol goes off they should run a few paces and then walk off.

No. Every single contestant should beat the living crap out of this mentally disturbed young man, and then go on with the race.

2020, the year the Olympics died, from being so woke.

I'm waiting for the tranny in figure skating. I don't think a woman has completed a quad, whereas several men have. In fact, in the Men's category it is almost a necessity if you want to stand on the podium.

So, now all medals will be awarded to men, sane men and men with mental health issues.

he still has a size and strength advantage over women.

I believe that men also have a larger lung capacity, which would also be an advantage in sports.

Not only lung capacity, but also bones, muscles, bladder, and many other biological advantages.

If a biological male beats out a woman for the Olympic team, or beats a woman for a medal, then the whole women’s team ought to boycott.

Why do these stories always use “she” when he is a “he”?

That's what the Style Book tells them to do, deviate from the Style Book and you get fired.

What a friggin' disaster. I'm a runner currently recovering from injuries, at least one of which was partially induced by a medication that I just quit taking. I hope to get back to running soon, and even participating in races again.

This transgender crap is gonna mess up all the races!

Good. I hope it wins every single race and gets the gold.

Some things have to go to their extremes before they’re stopped
