8th Place: A High School Girl’s Life After Transgender Students Join Her Sport
Excerpt: To others, it was a story of shock and disappointment: Is this the end of women’s sports? To Selina Soule, a 16-year-old runner from Glastonbury, it was personal. A junior, Selina missed qualifying for the 55-meter in the New England regionals by two spots. Two spots, she said, that were taken by biological boys. Had the boys who identify as girls not been allowed to compete, Selina would have placed sixth, qualifying to run the 55 in front of college coaches at the New England regionals. (Very thorough discussion of what it means to allow anyone who decides what their "gender identity" is to compete as such in sports. It would still be unfair for anyone with a basic male body to compete with born women, even after surgery and hormones. But to not even demand such changes is so far beyond ridiculous that words fail. This is starting to get attention, but the PC pushers don't want to hear it. If the proposed legislation goes through, we'll end up, as one commentator said, with men's sports and co-ed sports, and young girls will stop even trying anymore. --Del)
