Andraya Yearwood has become a girl’s team track star for Cromwell High School in New Britain, Connecticut. It is no surprise, since the runner is a tall, strong, powerful biological boy who is posing as a girl despite not yet making any move to transition as a girl. The mustachioed Yearwood, who competed as a boy in middle school, now claims to be a transgender girl and has been allowed to join the girl’s track team despite his imposing size and muscle mass that far exceeds that of his teammates and—more importantly—all his opponents on other school teams. School officials, parents, and girls on opposing teams have bent themselves into pretzels to appear “accepting” and “tolerant” of Yearwood’s gender proclamations. But, even as everyone walks on eggshells to grapple with the situation, Yearwood is racking up a record of wins in girl’s track, easily blowing away all competitors. Yearwood seems both arrogant and defiant celebrating the wins as if they are deserved and even expected. “It feels really good. I’m really happy to win both titles,” Yearwood recently bragged to the media after winning the Class M contest. “I kind of expected it. I’ve always gotten first, so I expected it to some extent. … I’m really proud of it.” Yearwood’s lopsided wins have at last caused many to wonder if the teenager’s overpowering male physical capabilities makes competing against girls unfair. These easy wins against biological girls have raised questions in New Britain. There is no better voice to these worries than Hartford Courant columnist Jeff Jacob who raised the questions in a June 1 column, saying that “on a biologically competitive basis,” Yearwood’s victories are not fair to the competitors.

There is no better voice to these worries than Hartford Courant columnist Jeff Jacob who raised the questions in a June 1 column, saying that “on a biologically competitive basis,” Yearwood’s victories are not fair to the competitors. Ultimately, Jacobs felt that the results of the competitions are tainted. “Humanity counts. So does biology,” Jacobs wrote. But, he went on saying, “For me, somebody who has observed sports and written about all kinds of athletes for four decades, the integrity of the state competition for these two races Tuesday was compromised.” Now, another voice has been added to Jacobs’ as USA Today columnist Cam Smith raised Jacob’s points and added that he also sees how murky this situation really is. Like others, Smith bent over backward to appear “accepting” of the teen’s gender choices, but he echoed Jacobs in wondering if it was fair to have a physically stronger boy competing against weaker and slower girls. Without specifically coming down on any side of the issue, Smith nonetheless pointed out that the situation in Connecticut raises some vexing questions: We can’t encourage you enough to read Jacobs’ entire piece, and to think about it’s larger implications. The state of Connecticut is clearly stuck in a delicate tap dance, and perhaps the most significant takeaway is how well everyone seems to be putting an awkward and potentially explosive situation into broader perspective. Of course, the situation is only “delicate” if you think honoring Yearwood’s desire to be a girl is more important than fair treatment for the literally hundreds of girls in the school’s competition district who are denied any fair chance of winning a track meet in which Yearwood competes.

An unappreciated strategy. Under the new gender norms, a man can just call himself a woman, make some token effort like wearing makeup or a feminine article of clothing and will then 'pass' as a woman and qualify to win national sports scholarships. And the Left will be ready to pounce on anyone who questions it. I think that is what this punk is going to try to do. He seems to have no particular interest in being a woman but he will be hanging out in women's locker rooms and easily winning women's athletics. So a very mediocre male will likely make himself into the champion of the women's sport he chooses, maybe more than one.
I don't think any college is going to give him a scholarship to run as a girl. The public high schools may have to put up with this. but college coaches don't. And when there's money at stake, I will bet they won't.
The current NCAA information : The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which organizes competition in 23 sports at over 1,000 colleges and universities, does not require gender confirming surgery or legal recognition of a player's transitioned sex in order for transgender players to participate on a team which matches their identity. However, things become a bit more complicated when hormones are used. The recommended NCAA policy requires one year of hormone treatment as a condition prior to competing on a female team. Conversely, athletes assigned female at birth remain eligible to compete in women’s sports unless or until that athlete begins a physical transition using hormones (testosterone). https://www.transathlete.com/policies-college
Sex is "assigned" at conception and at no other time. Even their language is quite biased.
Even their language is quite biased. Or shortly after. It's not like most of these transgender claims are do to the rare cases of intersex during fetal development.
Republicans have actually been pretty accommodating toward the intersexed in recent years. Not that anyone gives them any credit for it or even seems to notice really.
NOT surprising since the GOP leadership and those within its ranks have been practicing political/literal transvestism since Poppy Bush claimed he was a member of the "Republican Party" instead of NWO-Vampire Party. Just think of the roster off the top of your head of GOP "leaders" and stealth homos once Poppy Bush took over the reins: Cheerleaders Trent Lott and Dubya (Jeff Gannon) Bush. Bill Frist. Dennis Hastert. Mitch McConnell. Lindsey Graham. Jim Kolbe. Robert Bauman. Mark Foley. Larry (Wide-Stance) Craig. And on and on. See a pattern? That big fat (R) is a license to steal. THE TRUTH. At least the Dems do it in broad daylight.
You have voted for these assholes all your life.
Even if we presume I have, YOU on the other hand have now signaled you've voted for Democrats and Anarchists, and LOSERS etal. When sliding along the political fence, how have you managed to avoid impaling your anal gland?
You assume the opposite of your own guilt in the (R) party. For decades, I'm Independent and exonerated of the BS you buy.
"Independent"? Is that like "Opting-Out" of your responsibility to vote for the Lesser-of-Evils? Opting out of reporting a crime in progress? Unless you live in a cave or igloo, your self-exoneration of a civic duty is negligence and a lame exercise in blaming others.
Only a signature of the left-right party, such as yourself would continue to applaud the total destruction of the USA. You "Opting-Out" voting for the elimination of the US Constitution wrt tot the (R) or (D) party is the very reason WHY America is at the brink of war each and every day of our lives while the nation is the most heavily indebted nation in the entire history of mankind.
Maybe you two should find a happier way to spend Saturday evening.
Another "self proclaimed" asshole speaks up. You folks don't realize what is happening in America; yet, you applaud fascism.

Maybe you can explain it all to us.
Some of us do realize what is happening in America, and what is happening is to our advantage. We are willing to be fair, all the way to the bottom. But we're not willing to be fair just down through the middle class, and leave the bottom to rot. That's why the rich tend to skew liberal.
