Alanna Smith’s dedication to her sport is profound. Just listening to the elite high school track star explain her training schedule is exhausting. Yet no matter how hard she trains, if she has to compete against biological males, she stands no chance of winning.
“There is simply a biological advantage that males have over females,” explained the daughter of baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Lee Smith.
“Here is a perfect example," Smith told me. "I have a twin brother who is an athlete but does not run competitively for his sports. We raced against each other recently, and he beat me. Not because he trained harder, but because there are biological and physical advantage boys have over girls in some sports."
Smith, who set high school and county records as a short-distance track runner the moment she stepped on the field as a freshman at Danbury High School in Connecticut, says when she turns up to compete against male runners who identify and compete as females, she knows the cards are stacked against her.
And it has nothing to do with not being prepared.
“It is frustrating. I spend all of that time training to compete against other girls, and I find myself losing to biological males,“ she said.
Since 2017, two males who identify as female have taken 15 women’s state championship titles in Connecticut. Smith’s frustration led her last February to join with two other elite Connecticut runners, Selina Soule and Chelsea Mitchell, to file a federal discrimination complaint against Connecticut’s policy allowing transgender competition against females. The girls explained that the suit alleges the policy unfairly marginalized them and violated Title IX, the federal law designed to ensure equal opportunities for females in education and school-based athletics.

Liberals are truly insane.
The rank & file Democrats will keep their conflicted mouths shut because they don’t have the character to do the right thing.
Sorry honey, Biden has already erased any chance of you winning that lawsuit by his EO. Don’t vote dem.
And wait until those two “competitors” she referenced decide they’d like the track scholarship Alanna was hoping to get.
Before I give a single damn, I’m going to need to know who she and her family supported in the election.
Who did most women vote for, Allana? And in Connecticut? Elections have consequences. Own it and deal with it because it’s only going to get worse for you and other women athletes.
Stop saying “biological males (or females).” There is no other kind.
She has no chance in Con-ecticut unless she draws Trump appointee Judge Kari Dooley, a 1-in-14 shot.
Published numbers, which could be wrong, are that 57% of women voted for China-Joe-Ho. Since most women want communism and all its attributes, these young women are reaping exactly what other women want to have happen. If they don’t like the result, then they should complain to all those suburban women who vote communist in every election and convince them to vote differently in the future.
if you are not going to end this on both sides,
i don’t care
its a mental illness and its not right no matter what gender is pretending and invading spaces they do not belong
every normal boy and girls suffers from having to go along with this crap
and its not good to enable the mentally ill in their illness
its not “some sports” either
its virtuallly all physical issues
But, but, but... A woman is equal to a man!
A woman can do anything a man can do!
As an apparent political Puritan on a Christian based website, why don't you demand to know whether or not she goes to church on a regular basis and if she is still a virgin?
You jerks who use politics as a litmus test to judge others are pathetic and are the reason so many great FReepers have left this site..............
Too bad, so sad. At least our new president doesn’t post mean tweets. /s
There should be (1) men’s sports, (2) women’s sports and (3) transgender sports. In the transgender category, let the male trannies compete against the female trannies and let’s see how that goes.
I love it! Bring the whole dam tent down to the ground!

The irony is so beautiful it almost hurts.
Welcome to the world of every male sport NOT generating positive revenue when Title IX passed. Men’s sports were dropped only because the participants were male.
And it is ALWAYS a pleasure to see the left eat its own.
Headed by the dictator in chief you lefties aided and abetted his way into President Trump’s seat.
And people like you who think that actions shouldn’t have consequences are why we are in this mess to begin with.
As for this site, I promise you that no one has left because of a single thing I’ve said.
