When Chelsea Mitchell, ranked as the fastest girl in the 55-meter dash in Connecticut high school track, showed up for a competition last year, she knew it would be a challenge.
Her competitors included two biological males who said they identify as girls.
Mitchell, a senior at Canton High School, had seen the speeds posted by the two. She was aware that other girls had lost to athletes born as boys who identify as girls. But at the time, she says, she could feel the adrenaline in my blood.
That adrenaline wasnt enough, though. Mitchell came in third behind the two biological males.
Ultimately, because of Connecticuts high school athletics policy on transgender competitors, she lost four girls state championships and two all-New England awards to biological males who identify as females.
It was definitely frustrating and disheartening to be right there, running for the biggest honors in the state, and to work so hard and try so hard to be the best in the state, Mitchell told The Daily Signal in an exclusive telephone interview Tuesday.
Mitchell and two other girls from different Connecticut high schools, Alanna Smith and Selina Soule, are suing the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference over the policy that allows biological males to compete as girls with biological females in high school sports.
The suit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, claims that the state athletic conference is violating Title IX, the section of federal law designed to protect equal athletic opportunities for women and girls.
Smith is a sophomore at Danbury High School and Soule is a senior at Glastonbury High School whose story has been chronicled by The Daily Signal since last May.

PING!
This is just so wrong....and EVERYONE knows it.
Everyone are equal...remember.
If nothing else, girls and women in sports will put an end to this insanity. I have no idea how this will be resolved, but more power to these girls who are suing.
Talk about a decadent society. When this sort of crap is allowed to put bacon on the table for lawyers, judges, clerks and other assorted good for nothings ....
The tide will turn my friends.
The tide will turn.
Dems look goofier now than mondale did in ‘84
Where are NOW, #MeToo, and the other feminists at on this?
Pass the ERA
We are, after all, the same
Never. the era is horrible and its expired and good riddance.
It was definitely frustrating and disheartening...”
You’re the talent, get together with the other real girl talent and stage your own competitions excluding the pathetic delusionals.
But everyone just smiles through the awards ceremonies as if nothing is awry. Even the girls who got beat. No one dares say anything.
Talk about "The Emperor's New Clothes" coming to life.
The girls could be losing college scholarships because of these trannies. Very sad.
This is just so wrong....and EVERYONE knows it.
You know honestly I don’t know. I mean girls want to play on boys football teams, boys baseball teams, boys soccer. And thats right! Explain why when its in reverse and girls get a taste of diversity, its wrong? They want to be treated equally with males. Hows it taste?
The is a solution no one will like.
Open (no gender asked)
Don’t ask (gender won’t be verified)
Girls (women’s) Women’s only...BFQ bona fide qualification
Of course if this is not possible because the questions are hard, repeal title ix, the violence against women act and stop with the equal rights amendment, because we won’t KNOW what they mean.
DK

My youngest daughter is in track and field. Thank God we haven't encountered this crap yet.
