The debate has raged in recent years over whether a male student should be able to compete against girls and women if he claims he feels like a female.
One recent report from California puts that issue in sharp focus, not only because of the athlete’s dominance against biological females, but also because of another apparent genetic advantage.
As Breitbart reported:
The brother of Olympic gold medal-winning figure skater Alysa Liu has declared himself female and is dominating girls’ sports on teams at both Albany High School and El Cerrito High School in California.
ADVERTISEMENTReduxx exclusively revealed Jaylin Liu has dropped his previous first name “Joshua” as part of his transition and since the 2025 outdoor athletic season he has been dominating in his local high school sports. Reduxx noted his growing presence on the winner’s podium:
At Albany, Jaylin took eight separate first-places spots at seasonal meets and races in 2025. He seized a silver medal at the NCS Bayshore Championship in the 400-meter race, and a gold in the 2025 Tri-County Athletic League Frosh-Soph Championship 200-meter race.
The winning doesn’t stop there.
As Reduxx points out, there are other results where Jaylin has continued to outperform his female competitors in girls’ sports, noting he “has taken first place at every 200- and 400-meter girls race he’s participated in for Albany. This includes a first place finish at the Tri-County Athletic League Finals that were held on May 8.”
The revelation fueled some social media outrage:
He was pretending to be a woman, and was able to scam and cheat to “win”.

🚨Heartbreaking: Another California boy programmed and gr*omed to believe he’s a girl.

Self centered assholes, the whole lot of them, including their supporters. Does anyone have any sense of shame anymore?

Here’s some additional coverage from Reduxx:
In addition to participating in girls track and field, Jaylin has been active in girls varsity basketball and ultimate frisbee. He recently boasted of winning a silver medal at a basketball championship, and played for El Cerrito High School at the recent Ultimate High School National Invite, which was held from June 12-13 in Oregon.
As previously reported by Reduxx, the Invite saw multiple “girls” teams participate with male players, and El Cerrito was one of them. During news coverage of the championship, Jaylin was praised for his performance, which was described as “extremely dominant.” El Cerrito ultimately faced off in a semifinal match against South Eugene High School, which also had at least one male player, and lost.
Jaylin was one of five children born to surrogates, though he had a different egg donor than his Olympian sister Alysa. The children’s father, Arthur Liu, has said that he explicitly sought out white egg donors for his children.
Of course, this is just one in a series of similar stories, including this report from last year:
