A California high school female athlete didn’t let coming in second to a male-born transgender competitor prevent her from standing in the top spot on the podium during placement at a state track and field meet. Reese Hogan, 16, was crowned second place in the triple jump at the CIF Southern Section Finals on Saturday — despite setting a new personal record for herself and the Crean Lutheran High School at 37 feet, 2 inches. Standing in first place, junior trans athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley, who won titles in the girls’ long jump and triple jump, posed with...

Maine Gov. Janet Mills will be one of the recipients of the Human Rights Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization. A ceremony will be held next month. Mills will receive the award because of her battle with President Donald Trump’s administration over transgender athlete inclusion in women’s and girls’ sports. "I am honored to receive this recognition named for former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, a heroic champion for civil rights and the rule of law that governs our nation and inspires the world," Mills said in a news release. "Throughout my career as a District Attorney,...

Former Minnesota Vikings and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer shared a grievance with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. The AG is waging a legal battle against President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice to ensure transgender athletes can continue participating in girls sports in the state. The state's ongoing defiance of Trump's executive order to keep girls sports female has resulted in a controversy involving a transgender pitcher who has dominated a girls softball season. "Clearly, Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota, has never played any major sports," Brewer told Fox News Digital. "It’s like he’s...

Just a dude who wants to show the world how he's faster, stronger, and better than the girls.

A young female rugby player who was left screaming in agony after a transgender rival tore apart her knee ligaments has accused sporting chiefs of letting her down. Elena King, 20, suffered a torn ACL and MCL in January in the Netherlands after her biologically male opponent popped her left knee out of its socket with a rash challenge. Now facing lifelong pain and six months of physiotherapy just to run again, she is asking why the Dutch Rugby Association allows transgender athletes to compete against women.

Two congressional Democrats seeking to win “toss-up” Senate contests in states won by President Donald Trump are co-sponsoring legislation that would eliminate female-only spaces and infringe on the right of girls and women to compete against only members of their own sex in sports. Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff and Democratic Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens, who voted against legislation to bar biological males from women’s sports earlier this year, are backing the Equality Act, a bill that would make “gender identity” a protected class under federal anti-discrimination law. The candidates’ decision to support the far-reaching legislation comes as Republicans accuse...

OPINION: What are the chances? That thing that “never happens” happened yet again last week: A biological male competing against females won first place in two track events. It happened in (surprise!) Maine, which so far has held firm against President Trump’s executive order banning biological men from competing against women in interscholastic athletics. In what appears to have been a tri-meet, North Yarmouth Academy junior Soren Stark-Chessa won the girls 800 meter and 1600 meter (mile) runs, the latter by almost 20 seconds. As noted by Outkick, the 800 event was a closer race with Yarmouth High’s Lilah Connor...

Reduxx has learned that a trans-identified male high school student has been quietly participating in girls sports, earning accolades intended for young female athletes. Charlie Rothenberger, who now goes by “Marissa,” was transitioned by his parents at an extremely early age and is now drawing ire from his female teammates as more are becoming aware that he is biologically male. Rothenberger is a 17-year-old student at Champlin Park High School in Champlin, Minnesota. He currently plays as a starting pitcher for his girl’s high school fastpitch team, where he has been credited with helping the school dominate softball competitions. Earlier...

Meet "Marissa" Rothenberger, a 6-foot-tall MALE pitcher pretending to be a FEMALE, who has been dominating Girls' High School softball in Brooklyn Park, MN. Girls only hit 12% of his pitches, and he only allowed a SINGLE hit in a recent game. Even the announcers acknowledge his physical advantage, despite also pretending he is a girl. Rothenberger is a CHEATER. Keep men out of women's sports!

The Left has decided that women and girls are truly second-class citizens these days, forcing them to take a back seat to delusional men who think they're women and allowing those men into female-only spaces and sports. It's an offensive and unpopular position. But the Left clings to it like the last life raft off the Titanic, and they're harming a lot of girls and women in the process. Someone finally created a database of all the males competing in girls' sports and it's worse than we imagined: https://x.com/ifihadastick/status/1919743952514629743 @ifihadastick No one was tracking how often males are competing in...

A decade ago, if a woman ran a sub-three-hour Boston Marathon only six months after giving birth, she was pretty much guaranteed a fawning spread in a fitness magazine. But last week, only days after running the vaunted race in 2:50:04, new mom Natalie Daniels was booted from her running club in the DC metro area. The reason? She spoke up about fairness in women’s sports. Daniels doesn’t believe that trans runners should take up women’s spots in races — especially in Boston, which caps the number of marathon participants

A trans-identified male quietly dominated his age category at a national swimming championship held in Texas over the weekend, prompting concern from women’s rights groups. Ana Caldas, formerly known as Hugo Caldas and Hannah Caldas, took home multiple titles at the event.

The Trump administration said Monday that the University of Pennsylvania violated laws guaranteeing women equal opportunities in athletics by letting a transgender swimmer compete on the school's women's team and into team facilities. The administration's statement does not name Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who last competed for the Ivy League school in Philadelphia in 2022 and was the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title that year -- an award Thomas now faces losing. But the investigation opened in February by the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights focused on Thomas, who became a leading...

During an interview with Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul on Tuesday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) responded to safety concerns around allowing biological men in women’s sports in light of the Payton McNabb incident and the state’s lawsuit over the Trump administration’s push to keep biological men out of women’s sports by saying that “I’ll leave you and your viewers and other people to discuss what happened in one video.” Host Amy Hockert asked, “What do you think about people like Riley Gaines…girls and women who we’ve seen, sometimes videos are circulated of a volleyball player who has a ball...

During a portion of an interview with Portland, Maine ABC affiliate Channel 8 WMTW released on Thursday, Attorney General Aaron Frey (D) said that the opposition to allowing biological men to play women’s sports “is driven, in large part, by a lot of lack of information or misinformation.” Frey stated, “I think some of the public sentiment is being driven by a lot of half-truths or untruths, right? There have been transgender athletes — student athletes in Maine for years, for years and years and years. Safety, privacy have always been a consideration, not just for transgender students, by the...

Governor Janet Mills (D-ME) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump is not the law and his administration’s actions were “not rational” while discussing their transgender athletes dispute. Mills said, “Very unexpectedly the president called on me to answer a question that was unrelated to the topic at hand. I’ve been to the White House and talked to President Trump before, President Biden, President Obama, several presidents, always been a good conversation, exchange of ideas. This was different, very different, and when he said, ‘I am the law,’ basically, ‘we are the law,’ my jaw dropped, and...

This is what the endgame of trans ideology looks like: an all-male final of a women’s pool championship. Last night, the UK’s Ultimate Pool Women’s Pro Series Event 2 in Wigan had its final match. This women’s pool event wouldn’t ordinarily have grabbed the headlines, except for one curious detail: this year, there were no women in the final. It was played between two transgender-identified men – Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith. They had defeated four female opponents each before making it to the final, which Haynes ultimately won. Broadcaster Piers Morgan took to X to call the incident ‘preposterous’...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into USA Fencing over the disqualification of a female participant who refused to compete against a transgender opponent. The incident went down on March 30 at a USA Fencing-sanctioned regional tournament in Maryland, but Paxton has nonetheless issued a ‘Civil Investigative Demand’ over potential violations to Texas law. As Paxton described in his statement, Stephanie Turner was disqualified by USA Fencing for ‘bravely taking a knee instead of competing against a biological male.’ Turner was set to face Redmond Sullivan, who is reportedly transgender. The investigation will uncover documents related to...
