A biologically male marathon runner who identifies as a transgender woman is set to compete in the USA Olympic trials later in February.
Megan Youngren “is set to make history on Feb. 29 as the first openly transgender athlete to compete at the U.S. Olympic marathon trials,” Sports Illustrated reported. Youngren qualified for the trials after a strong performance on Dec. 8, 2019, in the California International Marathon.
“People will try to put it down by saying, ‘That’s too easy because you’re trans.’ But what about the 500 other women who will qualify?” Youngren told the magazine. “There’s probably someone with the exact same story.”
“I trained hard. I got lucky. I dodged injuries,” Youngren added. “I raced a lot, and it worked out for me. That’s the story for a lot of other people, too.”

I love it. They’re getting what they asked for from the libtards sickos . . . Understanding, compassion, non-scientific reasoning, blah, blah, blah.
This is so wrong. Athletes give up their life to train. Money is the least of what they spend..and then to have some dude come in is incredibly unfair.
If he has two x chromosomes, he is out.
She’s a dude, Jim.
Yep. WTH did the lefties think was gonna happen when they opened the barn door by treating crazy people as normal?
OK Tranny.
Totally agree. Let the whole country see this summer in the Tokyo Olympics the end result of liberalism running amok in every facet of our lives, including sports!
You’ve come along way baby.
Male Runner to Compete in USA Women’s Olympic Trials
Since "biologically" you are born either male or female, and no matter what you do, you can't change that.
I wonder what will happen if “Megan” competes this summer in the Olympics. Not every country in the world has lost its mind like the US has with LBQT and I suspect some of them to fight back.
It’s gotta be DNA or nothing.
I can’t believe the U.S. Olympic Committee is going to allow this.
I hope the International committee stomps it out.
So disrespectful to the country. The Olympic committee is a disgrace. Other countries must boycott this insanity.
I have twin boys, both long distance runners in college, one an All American.
If they were girls and put up with this crap I’d be going ballistic. The training is brutal and so time demanding and then to get beat out by a male in a girls sport....FREAKIN Insane.

I don’t think the US Olympic Committee could do this on their own.
The International Olympic Committee would have to endorse trans competing in women’s events.
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspenders, and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.
If they’re going to allow men to race against woman,why not go a little further and allow horses as well?Its just as stupid.
