Male Runner Booed By Crowd After ‘Winning’ Girls’ High School Track Event [Video]

The sheer number of boys and men who dominate sports created for girls and women offers ample evidence that gender plays a role in athletic achievement.

Nevertheless, leftists on the local, state, and federal level continue to insist that males who claim to identify as female should be allowed to compete against biological females.

A growing number of people across America and around the world are pushing back against this narrative, though, as evidenced during a recent high school track meet in Oregon.

According to Breitbart:

Aayden Gallagher, a high school sophomore and a male, eked out a win over a female runner in the 200-meter dash in the Oregon School Activities Association Track & Field State Championships.

The crowd can be heard cheering the female runner who is in the lead at the beginning of the video. However, those cheers turn into boos as Gallagher edges out his female opponent and steals the win from the girl.

The scene attracted significant attention on social media, including from swimmer and girls’ sports advocate Riley Gaines.

Look at the girls on the podium applauding when 2nd place (the rightful winner) is announced.

Then watch them when the boys name is announced.

Stop saying girls are okay with this because they aren't. This is heartbreaking and deeply regressive. https://t.co/VmjeTtwgIk pic.twitter.com/5o36MbMICD

Female athletes are also starting to stand up for themselves by refusing to participate in events in which males have been allowed to compete.

5 middle school female athletes in West Virginia on Thursday refused to throw shot put against male Becky Pepper-Jackson.

They “stepped in” then “stepped out” in protest.

This is how you finally stop men from ruining women’s sports.

A major college athletics organization is also moving in that direction, recently passing a new policy that sets clear restrictions on the ability of so-called transgender females from competing in women’s sports.

As NBC News reported:

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, or NAIA, which oversees more than 83,000 athletes at mostly smaller colleges, has rolled out a new policy that bans transgender women from competing in women’s sports, making it the first major college sports governing body in the U.S. to do so.

The policy states that only student athletes whose assigned sex at birth is female will be allowed to compete on NAIA-sponsored women’s sports teams. The organization’s Council of Presidents voted 20-0 to approve the policy on Monday, and it will take effect Aug. 1.

Under the new policy, transgender men and trans masculine students can compete on women’s teams if they haven’t started masculinizing hormone therapy. Those who have will also be barred from NAIA competition, but they can participate in workouts, practices and team activities for women’s teams. However, the NAIA policy states their participation is “at the discretion” of their college. All students, including trans men and trans women, will be allowed to compete on men’s teams, according to the policy.
