The entire situation with biological men competing in women's sports keeps reaching new heights of absurdity.
Transgender track runner wins 2 women's events in which race times would've been last place among men
Sadie Schreiner also clinched a victory in the 4x400 relay as the anchor leg
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/tran...womens-events-race-times-last-place-among-men
Transgender college runner Sadie Schreiner won three women's events at the Liberty League championship meet (Division III) on Saturday.
Schreiner, of the Rochester Institute of Technology, won the 400 meter with a 55.07, and the 200 meter at 24.14.
Both times would have been last in the men's races at the meet, yet were school records in the women's category, according to the site that lists the results of the meet.
The 200-meter time also is now a Liberty League conference women's record (beating Schreiner's own previous record of 24.50 set earlier this season).
Schreiner was also the anchor leg of the 4x400 that won by nearly three seconds – they were in fourth place when Schreiner received the baton, but she ran the fastest anchor leg of the race.
Schreiner's leg was clocked in at 54.91 seconds, by far the fastest anchor leg of the race.
Schreiner, who was born a male named Camden and attended Hillsborough High School in New Jersey, has the 20th-best 100-meter time (11.72) for boys in school history (it would be the fastest for girls).
Earlier this season, Schreiner also set a women's school record in the 300-meter at the Nazareth Alumni Opener Invitational, running a 41.80.
Schreiner's 4x100 team finished in fourth.
Schreiner recently posted on Instagram that she feels she does not have an "automatic advantage" as a biological male.
"Out of all the hate that’s been shared of me ‘cheater’ is the most common word used… In my eyes, the discussion of trans inclusion in athletics shouldn’t even be a debate…" Schreiner wrote. "As more research is done the more evident this becomes. There’s a reason I’m only as fast as I was in middle school, and the only variable that’s changed over my 9 years of running is my medication…
"Even as Olympic studies prove the disadvantages of trans athletes it’s not enough. Policies are being changed before research is done and the only way to stay educated in this process is to talk to the few trans athletes that are competing and hear their stories, bring them in to the conversation. The only way to make an educated decision on a small handful of athletes is to hear their voice, not speak for them."
Six states sued the Department of Education this week over the overhaul of Title IX, which is intended to give transgender athletes more protection.
In April, five middle school students forfeited a shot-put event due to the inclusion of a trans athlete, and were suspended for another meet because of it.

It is time to ban biological men from women's college sports.
A college athletics association banned transgender women from women’s sports. Now all eyes are on the NCAA

It's long overdue to put an end to this nonsense. It totally undermines Title IX and all the advancements women have made in sports over the years.

Female swimmer DEMANDS apology after being 'forced to undress' with trans teammate
https://www.gbnews.com/news/us/trans-athletes-lia-thomas-apology-paula-scanlan
Paula Scanlan had also stated 'men don't belong in any women's sports' after trans swimmer Lia Thomas was barred from competing at the Paris games
A former teammate of a trans swimmer who was controversially allowed to compete against "cisgender" women has called for an apology after being forced to "undress with him 18 times a week".
Paula Scanlan, who swam alongside trans athlete Lia Thomas at the University of Pennsylvania, made the demands in reaction to the news that Thomas had been barred from competing at this summer's Olympic Games.
Thomas, now 25, had become the first transgender NCAA champion in Division I history - but shortly afterwards, World Aquatics (then called Fina) voted to crack down on the participation of trans athletes in elite women's sports.
The body implemented a radical rule change preventing anyone who had experienced "any part of male puberty" from competing in women's events.
The swimmer had lodged a case with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in January in a bid to overturn the ban and compete in elite female races again, claiming the restriction was not only "invalid and unlawful" but also discriminatory.
However, a panel in the sport's top court dismissed the case.
The committee concluded that since Thomas was ineligible to participate in USA Swimming's elite events, the swimmer was "simply not entitled to engage with eligibility to compete" in World Aquatics events.
The decision prevents the American from having any chance of competing at the Paris Olympics, which kick off on July 26 - and for which the American swimming trials begin on Saturday.
Scanlan had hailed the decision when it was announced and took to social media to say: "Good. This shouldn't have even been a case. Men don't belong in any women's sports."
Then in a later message, reacting to a New York Post headline on the news, Scanlan said: "Okay, but is anyone going to apologise for forcing us to undress with him 18 times a week?"
Her online outbursts are the latest example of some of the enmity demonstrated by Thomas's former teammates.
Other NCAA athletes had lost out on medals thanks to the trans swimmer's participation; in one instance, female swimmer Riley Gaines had come joint-fifth with Thomas in a 200-yard final race, but the latter was awarded the trophy.
Some student swimmers had even filed legal action against the NCAA itself.
Earlier this year, 16 ex-college athletes accused the body of violating Title IX - a federal statute which guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college sports and education.
Another of that group of 16, Riley Gaines, also came out in support of the CAS ruling, calling it a "victory for women and girls everywhere".
The NCAA says: "College sports are the premier stage for women's sports in America, and while the NCAA does not comment on pending litigation, the Association and its members will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women’s sports and ensure fair competition in all NCAA championships."

Create a transgender Olympics...problem solved. Now looking back...imagine if Bruce Jenner had converted just before the Olympics and was allowed to compete in the female decathlete events...
The records would never be broken.
As for Paula Scanlan, she could have easily undressed/dressed in a bathroom stall or another bathroom instead of the locker room. No one forced her to undress in front of Lia Thomas.

Not if she wants to shower.
I played sports on the collegiate level and so did my ex-spouse a rower...she could have easily undressed/showered after him and then dressed on the other side of the lockers where he was not located as stated by other women who did exactly that.
Simply, everybody is not in the showers at the same time.

Four of the players on Zambia's women's Olympic soccer team are biological men. The situation in women's sports is getting absurd with transgenders playing on women's teams; it undermines the accomplishments of female athletes across the world.
