A couple of transgender high schoolers took first and second place finishes at a recent track event, leaving the girls in the dust and parents to wonder: Is this the new state of athletic competitions in the public school systems?
One of the transgender kids, a sophomore, even broke a school record for the 100-meter dash that had stood for years and years.

Not really a fair competition now, is it? But this is the far left’s vision for America — tear down tradition and common sense, one political platform, one special right, one eyebrow-raising policy at a time. It’s all in the name of diversity and equality, after all.
Infowars has more:
Two transgender high school students took home first and second places in the 100-meter dash at a girls’ state track meet in Connecticut Monday.
One of them, Bulkeley sophomore Terry Miller, broke records in both the 100 and 200-meter events, the latter spanning back to 1997.
Just last year during the winter indoor season, Miller had raced as a boy.
The runner-up 100 meter transgender runner, Andraya Yearwood from Cromwell, also won the Class M sprint titles last year, despite never undergoing hormonal treatment.
The victories have prompted a look at how gender affects sports in the state, where gender identity is recognized.
The Connecticut Post spoke to one of the losing female students, but she didn’t seem too upset she lost to biological males.
“To be honest, I think it’s great they get a chance to compete and as long as they’re happy, I guess, there’s not that much I can do,” said RHAM High School student Bridget Lalonde, who finished third place in the 100 meter race. “The rules are the rules. The only competition is the clock. You can only run as fast as you can.”
Lalonde also came in second against Miller in the 200 meter race.
Miller attempted a sweep by winning the 400 meter race as well, but faltered and placed fourth.
The winner of the 400, Newton High School’s Carly Swierbut, told The Post she didn’t have a problem racing against transgender students.
“Quite honestly, I just focused on me,” Swierbut said. “I know how to run this race. I just focused on the lane in front of me and didn’t worry about anybody else.”
She added, “If you’re good enough to run, you’re good enough to run. If somebody wants to win, they’re going to work their tail off to win. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you are, everybody should have the chance.”
Parents and coaches on the other hand are asking why the state’s athletic committee hasn’t worked to level the playing field.
Hillhouse High School coach Gary Moore said last week he didn’t think the rules were “fair to the girls,” and this week he questioned why other coaches weren’t raising the issue.
The parent of one of the girls who placed sixth in the 100 also called on the state to change their rules.
“Sports are set up for fairness. Biologically male and female are different,” said Bianca Stanescu.
“The great majority is being sacrificed for the minority.”
The Post also notes, “The team standings were altered, too. Southington won the team title with 35 points, three ahead of Bloomfield. Without the Miller and Yearwood, Bloomfield would have had 34. You spread around Miller’s 25 points and Yearwood’s points and obviously a number of other team standings were altered.”
Despite leagues such as the NCAA having rules requiring transgender players undergo a year’s worth of hormone treatments, the Connecticut Intersscholastic Athletic Conference hasn’t budged claiming to do so would be discrimination.
“A lot of people have asked, can you run a separate race, can you put an asterisk next to their name, do something that shows there is a standard that is different from that?” CIAC executive director Karissa Niehoff told The Post. “When you get into that playing out, you have got civil rights issues.”
“Then within the same gender, you are taking one population of the gender and you’re separating them and creating another class. That’s what Title IX speaks to. That’s what Office of Civil Rights guidelines speak to. You cannot discriminate based on gender. And in our case in Connecticut, gender is gender identity.”
Of the girls who may feel angry, she added, “We do feel for them.”
“Fully agree it doesn’t feel good. The optic isn’t good. But we really do have to look at the bigger issues that speak to civil rights and the fact this is high school sports.”
For now, it doesn’t look like anything will be done, but The Post did indicate “there was talk among opponents of starting collective legal action.”

They can only push our country so far before it pushes back…at least, I hope.
Why is it not acceptable among liberals to try to change your orientation, but completely normal to alter your gender? It is truly hypocritical in the extreme.

The LGBT “leadership” is as much a dangerous cult in many ways as the Moonies were in the ’70’s. One serves to increase their numbers (altering one’s “gender”), the other shrinks their percentage in the populace (changing one’s orientation).

If they believe gender identity can be changed, why are they so adamantly against changing gay people’s sexualities? To me it doesn’t make much sense.

Transgender is an ideology that, for socio-political reasons, absolutely refuses to allow for any recognition of, or respect for, the differences between male and female. It is all about concealment, covering up, whitewashing, obscuring, obstructing, and putting one over on society. It is yet another front in the imposition of radical fringe Greenwich Village/San Francisco/Fire Island “values” on the rest of society, complete with artificial and phony pronouns that have no basis in reality, nature, biology or genetics. It is supremacism writ large. That it cannot withstand or survive the slightest scrutiny is borne out by their fascistic policies of fines or prison time for those that don’t bend down to such a subversive, destructive subset.

As with anything pertaining to Muslims, this is all about supremacism. The promotion, glorification, encouragement, endorsement, sanctioning, and spreading of transgenderism itself is very much within the portion of this article: ” . . . tear down tradition and common sense, one political platform, one special right, one eyebrow-raising policy at a time.” It is, in a way, a war on both sexes. In this context, it is a war on women. (And has anyone noticed about those girls convinced to believe they’re boys in order to get them to submit to harmful “treatments,” that they are among the dumpiest, homeliest out there?) The Left sees recognition of the differences between male and female as an “oppressive social construct,” and the violent, anti-American Antifa “movement” sees the spreading of transgenderism as the key to eradicating “toxic masculinity,” a “culture of misogyny,” and “white male heterosexual privilege.”
But as far as “transitioning” boys into girls, it is the latest, and most sickest, manifestation of the socialist-feminist Left’s drive, since their takeover of school systems and social service agencies starting in the 1960’s, to fully emasculate boys, weed out whatever signs of masculinity and manhood may emerge in them – and in terms of “reassignment surgery,” it is literally about removing their manhood physically and otherwise. I was in the school system in the years they drugged kids with such psychotropic drugs as Ritalin and Thorazine on one hand, and sought to feminize boys by “Free to Be . . . You and Me” style propaganda on the other (the original LP was a must-have in school collections in those years, and if they had a TV and 3/4″ Umatic machine, a tape of the 1974 TV special of the same name likewise was a must-see.) We must have truly fallen as a society to allow children to be so surgically mutilated, disfigured and deformed in this way and not lift a finger to stop them for fear of being branded “homophobes” or “transphobes” – or even “racist” (never mind that homosexuality and transgenderism, like Islam, are not a race).
And the “civil rights” argument. Puh-leeze. Don’t Muslims claim “civil rights” to justify their imposition of Sharia onto the rest of society?
But this is exactly the continuation of what the push for “gay marriage” hath wrought. Mark my words, next you’ll be hearing demands to lower the age of consent.

The solution is obvious.
We’ve separated sports by sex for centuries so…
Keep on doing it.
Males compete in their category.
Females in theirs.
Male and female sports were separated because in the vast majority of cases women just don’t stand a chance in H of winning in physical competitions with men.
Truth told though, there’s got to be something different about how men and women mentally approach competition too, or men and women would compete together in things like pool, darts, shooting sports, X Games competitions, skiing, bobsledding, curling, and tons of other sports that don’t depend solely on the physically strongest.
In any case, since there are however many of these so-called genders, they should be FORCED TO COMPETE AGAINST THEIR OWN GENDERS.
Problem solved, case closed.

More contemporary idiocy born of the 18th-century founding fathers’ stupidity when they replaced Biblical responsibilities with Enlightenment rights:
“[B]ecause they have … trespassed against my law … they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind…. (Hosea 8:1, 7)
“A familiar proverb declares, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” America’s road to “hell” has been paved with rights, including:
Natural rights
Human rights
Civil rights
Political rights
Religious rights (including the right for all non-Christian religions to proliferate)
Educational rights
Women’s rights (including the right to murder one’s unborn baby)
Children’s rights
Health care rights
Welfare rights
Homosexual rights
Transgender rights
And this is the short list….
“Because the framers failed to expressly establish the Constitution on Biblical ethics, the Ninth Amendment was inevitably interpreted to include the above list, as well as other Biblical infractions.
“The latest to come from the rights culture created by the framers is the right of young men who claim to be transgender to share locker rooms, bathrooms, and even showers with girls in our public schools….”

You have an understanding that most liberals and some conservatives lack. They just follow the leader. The term “racist” is a relatively new term, and that is why I make fun of it. Of course, racism has always existed, but it was not the hate word it is today.
In fact, I was in the military when I first heard the word, and that was back when they were desegregating the schools, busing kids all over the country in the name of “equality” – which, as we all know, that only moved the starting point ahead so that the low intelligence individuals could hopefully finish on par with the high intelligence individuals.
In other words, tax the abilities of the gifted to give to those who are not, so that in the end, they compete for the same money. The result is people who cannot spell, have no idea of grammar, science or common sense are now our leaders. But they have a diploma and a good job, right?

Agreed. But even more devastating is when GW Bush did the “NO Child Left Behind” crapola…..it resulted in massive numbers of kids not graduating…..
and I tell you who got left behind…..my high achieving child and many, many others…..after that start of NCLB there were no more classes for the gifted and advanced. I finally had to take my child out of school, home school her, and put her in Community College at age 16. She had a two year degree by the time she was not quite 18.

What about the rights of the actual biological young women on the team? Oh, that’s right ….you don’t have any rights according to the school Libtards.
Here’s my solution: All you young women quit the team. Let the school just have the gender dysphoria “guys” be the team. Give it to them. Walk away. You must understand, there is no “diversity” where heterosexual people exist.
Because if you object then you will be castigated and tormented. You will be called homophobes and other vile names. Instead, practice for the Olympics…they don’t let men participate in women’s events….yet.
Why not organize your own private track club? After school, weekends, etc. Get your parents involved…have your competitive meets off school property.
Spend your spare time getting involved in politics….write your Congress people, show up at their rallies, group together and ask for meetings with the congressperson. Stop electing people who hate you and are hell bent on destroying your country, our culture, and our America.
When you grow up and have kids is this what you want for them?
Start lobbying the very absentee Sec of Education Becky Devos….who was allegedly going to stop this in our schools. She’s been MIA since she took office.
Your greatest strength is stay together. And understand, it is the Dems and the Left, and the Globalists who say it isn’t “fair” that physical men “who think they are women” cannot participate with women. So when you start voting in elections…..don’t vote Demoncrat….otherwise, your kids will suffer even worse if this continues in America. Good Luck.
