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 wasn’t enough, though. Mitchell came in third behind the two biological males.
Ultimately, because of Connecticut’s 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.

Maybe we should make all runners dress like they did in the original Olympics, so we know who’s who and what’s what.
“If nothing else, girls and women in sports will put an end to this insanity.”
They are the ones that should!
Lots of females are obnoxiously cool with this trans crap most of the time. Let them be at the fore of the push-back because it is their lives, livelihoods, and safety that are most affected.
Great news ..the CIAC needs to be sued.
How? Girls are playing on boys teams quite regularly. And no boys complain or sue over that. That means some boy likely lost his roster spot to a girl, right? No one would call that a violation of Title IX.
Last year you had all this media buzz about how Carli Lloyd kicked a 50 yard field goal and how women could play in the NFL someday.
I just don’t think this will go anywhere in the courts. No judge is going to want to touch this.
The same party who wants to give the girls abortions on demand also supports the trannies.
So I guess the girls will have to give up on the abortion bit if they want to disallow the trannies.
These Millennial chicks are getting exactly what they deserve! They all love to sing the praises of the their Transgender friends, and how we should all accept and embrace these sick freaks and their lifestyle! Now it’s biting them in the their collective A$$es!
Cry me a river!
**Okay, my bad, I assumed these were college students!**
Hope their dingbat Lib parents are happy now! They got some splanin’ to do to their kids!

I remember when girls wanted to be Police Officers and Firemen
The simple answer to all this nonsense is to just eliminate men/women and boy/girl distinctions in sports and just let all of them have at it.
Ironically the women’s libbers would be the first to whine about the outcome of males completely dominating sports even more than they already do.
That’s what I’ve said...
All these women today vote for liberals. And you got the vast majority of young women supporting the far-far-far-left.
You reap what you sow. I’m not going to lose sleep over this. It’s their own doing.
If your daughter is a victim of it, tell her to convince her friends to stop supporting the far-left. That’s really the only way this stuff stops. You keep electing liberals and socialists and this will continue. It’s their choice. Women vote more than men do. They can stop this if they want to.
Excellent!
I’d like to be on that jury. The cash award would be HUGE! I’d see to it.
History doesn’t repeat, but it sure does rhyme.
Power and wealth always corrupt. Always. Epstein was not a new thing. Heck there are rumors Boys Town was used by GOP politicians for their own harem.
Think of your basest temptations. Now think what would happen if you had no morality and no expectation of consequences.
Simply put, I know what type of monster I am. The benefit of a good Christian education. Most monsters do not.

+1000!
And then the pathetic delusionals will sue, and with the right judge, they will win.
Get used to losing, girls. The Democrats want to pass the moldy old ERA, which would encourage more male-females to win all the trophies.
I’d probably get bored and need more and different things to keep the dopamine levels high
that can lead down a horrible path
thank God i’m broke lol
Does it matter? Its the only way to get on and compete against girls, so be it. Girls cant compete with the physical demands of boys sports like football. Boys have been forced to let them in, all I’m saying is that its hypocracy. Boys should be all boys and girls should be all girls teams. This is PC biteing feminists in their ass!
Sad part is that the scholarships that would have been awarded to her are now going to men parading as women :(
