Trans Dude On Pace To Break Girls 200 & 400 records & lead team to State 6A Oregon title

This might become a serious problem if he ultimately challenges the national records. As a sophomore, his PR is 23.77. #10 on the all-time HS list is Abby Steiner at 22.73. One second is a lot to improve in a 200m but who knows what can happen in two years. His 400m of 54.31 is pedestrian compared to the best high school girls who have all run low 51s or faster.

Sadly, with Brahe-Petersen on the sidelines, he might win the state meet. Lia Thomas at the high school level.

This is the runner the OP is talking about in case you haven't seen the video.

This is the nightmare scenario. Transgender athletes are not a new phenomenon and I am shocked that state high school organizations have not proactively created a separate division to accommodate these athletes.

I do not question the sincerity of this athlete but, merely identifying as a woman without undergoing hormone therapy creates a huge competitive advantage for her. OSAA really screwed up here!

They literally aren't. This is one division in one state. There are well over 100 state titles per year.

There is nothing barring you from just hating transgender people because you are stuck wearing boy clothes when you want to wear a dress or being upset you can't find a wife with a penis, but to say they are taking over women's sports because there are a couple trans women that do ok each year is not factually accurate.

That is some terrible form. Also not even remotely feminine. It's like they've stopped even trying to pretend...and the far left keeps cheering them on.

"Girls need to run with form I deem feminine!" honestly, I'd probably take the arguments more seriously if like 90% of the anti-trans crowd wasn't so openly hostile towards women in general.

Sounds like you are all just pissed you can't be women.

It’s reasonable to believe it’s unfair for her to compete against HS girls, and most do, but she’s nowhere near being at a Lia Thomas level. She’s way behind the fastest Sophomore time of 51.7 and winning a 6A title would be nothing campared to Thomas winning an NCAA 500-yard championship.

Two separate statements. The form is terrible. The dude's appearance isn't even remotely feminine. Most readers on this forum were able to distinguish the difference in those two statements.

Your other assertion is asinine. People are hostile to dudes stealing opportunities from girls and women in athletics. Standing up for women's rights to compete in fair competition is the exact opposite of being hostile to women.

The tweet needs to chill on the theatrics. I don't think the girls running 27.7 or slower "had their dreams stolen from them." And this is coming from someone who enjoyed winning Dual Meets and Small Invites when I was in high school. If a 22-year-old identifying as a high schooler beat me I wouldn't like it much, but I wouldn't be devastated. That being said, you are right to say there comes a time when this crosses over the proverbial line and that is probably at the State Meet/National level. If participation and misidentification is the issue, can't they just rebrand the Boys' division as Open? Again, nobody thought Caitlyn Clark or Juju Watkins were boys because they played with the boys until Middle School. At many open track meets/road races, there are heats with biological males and females competing against each other — not a big deal.

If I was a woman I would not have broken 5 yet so trust I am excessively happy I'm not female

Anyone associated with this event/team are to blame. The teammates, opponents, coaches, event promoter/coordinator, etc.

If nobody participated or associated with this nonsense, it would go away. Canceling events and school program where money and funding is lost is the only way to get things going in a positive direction.

Lets trans athletes compete against other trans competitors.

Blowing off a season and/or losing a scholarship is a pretty big deal. What sacrifice will you be making for the cause?

Looking at the full team results of this dude in a girls uniform its apparent their school will win the state title next week in Oregon's highest class. The 200 time is faster than Brahe-Pedersen ran as a sophomore until the state meet. The 400 time is 2nd in state and with someone faster to race expect a much faster result next week. A soph boy new to the sport that is learning to train and improve is going to improve at a much faster rate than a girl at the same age. WTF up here. The impact to all the other girls is insanely unfair. There are now more trans athletes competing than wheelchair or Unified (sp ed) and each has its own competitive opportunities at the state meet in Oregon. That's the solution but no, weak leadership by the OSAA is going to make a mockery of the State Meet with the national media descending on this story. The damage it will do to this dude is also not to be overlooked. The weak educational leadership in this is making it a NO WIN situation for ALL the female athletes, coaches, etc. They will displace a natural female from making the final. Will provide their team with an unfair advantage to win the 4x4 as well so 3 events are impacted this year but next year this dude will destroy the 100, 200 and 400 records with a year of training and every HS record by senior year if this is allowed to stand.

Why does this matter? Would you accept this if the trans athlete can pass as a girl?

"They are at an unfair advantage because they have testosterone" - "Giving estrogen, puberty blocking is grooming"

"Let trans have their own race" - "Non-Binary races are a scam and affront to women"

"They can compete in the open category" - "Well except Trans-men because they are taking testosterone"

Summation: You are all angry losers with no real solution and honestly, not much of a real problem either. Every year a couple kids are just trying to compete and apparently one swimmer has completely ruined all women's sports forever.

The only way bigtex can tell is because he was told in the video, in real life BigTex would be hitting on her and he's just super pissed he might find a trans girlfriend and then his family would find out.

BS.

Here's a real solution: Competitors carrying a Y-chromosome are barred from women's / girls' contests / events.

Revise your name. Look at the ratio of down votes to up votes on your post, and then ask yourself “Am I only a thoughts leader in my delusional perceived self image?”

Respect women.

You are an example of how this mental health issue is sustained and celebrated. YOU are a big part of the problem. Everyone knows it. Every girl should not participate and make a stand against it. Their peaceful protest would hurt but someday, maybe their daughters will benefit. Oregon would be the best place for them to do so. Maybe the rest of the country would follow their lead. Except the Island of Misfit Toys known as California. Unfortunately, so many kids, like yourself, have been brainwashed to think this is ok and normal. It is not. This is a mentally sick society. The rest of the world is already standing up to this but not good old USA.
