Girl Who Lost State Titles to Transgender Athletes: 'Devastating'
News Max ^ | Tuesday, 25 May 2021 | Erik Mack

A Connecticut high school sprinter who sued the state for permitting transgender participation in female sports says she lost four state titles and called it a devastating experience. "I've lost four women's state championship titles, two all-New England awards, and numerous other spots on the podium to transgender runners," Chelsea Mitchell wrote Tuesday for the USA Today. "I was bumped to third place in the 55-meter dash in 2019, behind two transgender runners. With every loss, it gets harder and harder to try again. "That's a devastating experience. It tells me that I'm not good enough; that my body isn't good enough; and that no matter how hard I work, I am unlikely to succeed, because I'm a woman." Mitchell said transgender supporters need to follow the biological science, stop ignoring the obvious, and follow the facts.

Mitchell's case, among four who sued Connecticut, had the support of the Trump administration Justice Department, but the Biden administration DOJ withdrew support for girl athletes amid their push for transgender rights.

"Girls and women shouldn't be stripped of their right to fair competition," Mitchell wrote.

Republicans, conservatives, and women's rights supporters argue allowing girls who were born male biologically is ostensibly oppressing women in the U.S. And, Mitchell added, the losses have impacted her collegiate scholarship opportunities, which Title IX once sought to support for girls.

"Unfortunately, a federal district court recently dismissed our case," Mitchell wrote. "The court's decision to do so tells women and girls that their feelings and opportunities don't matter, and that they can't expect anyone to stand up for their dignity and their rights.

"That's wrong. And it chips away at women's confidence and our belief in our own abilities.

"It's happened to me over and over. Every time I walk up to the starting line, I try to tell myself that I can overcome the unfair odds — I can win, even though the race is stacked against me."

“The CIAC allows biological males to compete in girls’ and women’s sports,” Mitchell wrote. “As a result, two transgender athletes began racing in girls’ track in 2017. In the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons alone, these runners took 15 women’s state track championship titles (titles held in 2016 by nine different girls) and more than 85 opportunities to participate in higher level competitions that belonged to female track athletes.

“That’s because males have massive physical advantages. Their bodies are simply bigger and stronger on average than female bodies. It’s obvious to every single girl on the track.”

But the Biden administration lacks the common sense to see the obvious, as she vowed to appeal.

...I think they know exactly what they’re doing. Pervert society as much as possible. Tear down traditional values, families, ideals, Apple Pie etc. Make the family of 4 of MFSB the enemy and the freaks.

A more accurate headline would be :

Boy Beats Girl in Sports

Conservatives - and the media outlets that cater to them - should stop using the language of the left. There is no such thing as a 'transgendered' human. It's a biological impossibility. Period.

Bruce Jenner isn't a woman anymore than Rachel Dolezal is of African ancestry. How do I know? Genetics.

In place of 'transgendered,' I would suggest pseudo-gendered or faux-gendered.

Sorry Chelsea, your state is run by morons.

Kakistocracy
A kakistocracy is a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens.

When Andy Kaufman was wrestling women and beating them decisively, he was at least doing so as a man. Not as a pretend women. These freaks want to win but they know they will never win in a fair competition.

Having transgender women compete against biological women violates the basic principle of fair play, which makes “sport” competitive in nature.

The commie rats are all for this, not because they love transgender, but because THEY HATE COMPETITION OF ANY KIND.

I think we have had a pretty darn good culture for a long time. WE ARE ALLOWING COMMIE RATS TO WRECK IT PIECE BY PIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Biden Administration has no Sense!!!! The Connecticut athletic politicians need to be removed from office. There is no way a normal woman can train or be coached to become as strong physically as a male regardless of their tranny mental condition. The athletic American Woman is being cheated. Woman should just start their own athletic leagues, there is no other choice.

I’m not saying that men are better than women, only that transgender women are better than women.

There are no such things as transgenders. There are men, women, and confused queers. Exceptions are very rare.

“When did they drop the chromosome testing?”

Dropping chromosome testing allows them to call anything anything.

Don’t buy into their terms. There’s no such thing as a “transgender woman”
