While most trans women aren’t winning major titles, here are almost two dozen athletes who have found success. With so much recent public conversation about trans women in women’s sports, I was struck by a post by trans advocate Schuyler Bailar — a trailblazing former NCAA athlete — claiming three trans women who have ever won national or international competitions in the women’s category “don’t exist.” Off the top of my head I could name several, and some digging has found at least 23 trans women who have earned national or international victories. No out trans woman has won an...

A transgender athlete took home a second-place medal in a crucial high school track and field competition in California over the weekend, sparking fierce backlash — as the fourth-place medalist appeared to give a thumbs-down at the podium. Athena Ryan, a junior from Sonoma Academy, claimed the silver medal in the varsity girls’ 1,600-meter run during the North Coast Meet of Champions of California finals on Saturday. Ryan, a transgender female, now qualifies for the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships next week after finishing in the top three. The high school track star who claimed fourth place...

A transgender cyclist won the female category at a gravel race but stood alone on the winners' podium after the event. The second- and third-place winners refused to appear at the medal ceremony after Lesley Mumford won her age group in the 100-mile Desert Gravel Co2Ut. Mumford was born a male and transitioned to female in 2017. Mumford posted a picture on Instagram of her standing at the podium alone but smiling and holding the first-place medal "I have no idea why so many people bailed before the podiums, but they did," Mumford wrote after finishing ahead of 43 female...

A two-time Olympian has ripped rules that allowed a transgender runner to beat nearly 14,000 women in the female category of the London Marathon. Mara Yamauchi — who finished sixth in the marathon at the 2008 Beijing Olympics — lashed out after trans racer Glenique Frank, 54, gushed to the BBC about using “girl power” to run the key UK race on Sunday. “Males in the [female] category is UNFAIR for females,” Yamauchi tweeted alongside a clip of the mid-race interview by the sports bra-wearing runner who also gushed about soon becoming “a gran.” “Nearly 14,000 actual females suffered a...

The House on Thursday passed legislation aimed at preventing biological males from competing as transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports at schools across the country, after a debate in which several Democrats accused Republicans of "bullying" transgender students by calling up the bill. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed in a 219-203 vote Thursday morning – all the "yes" votes came from Republicans, and all the "no" votes came from Democrats. Republicans defended the bill as an attempt to spare women and girls from having to compete against transgender women and girls – biological males...

Breanna Gill’s win at the Australian Women’s Classic in New South Wales is causing a debate over transgender athletes in golf. Gill is an Australian pro golfer playing on the Women’s PGA Tour of Australasia. She needed a birdie at Hole 18 to force a playoff in the Australian Women’s Classic, and she got just that. Gill eventually won the playoff to hoist the trophy for the first time in her professional career. But backlash came on social media when the Women’s PGA Tour of Australasia posted a now-viral tweet of Gill holding the trophy. Comments ended up getting shut...

Unless steps are taken to prevent it, it will not be all that before there are no biological women in sports competitions in high schools, colleges or in professional sports. Trans women (primarily transvestites) are dominating sports and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Why? Because they win, and that's all that matters/ A Massachusetts high school was thrust into the spotlight late last month as it won a state championship in girls indoor track and field with the help of a transgender student-athlete. Chloe Barnes picked up five of Brookline High School’s 63 points in the Girls...
