Male-born hurdler 4th in Girls Massachusetts Indoor State Meet

men are better than women. just another day the truth becomes clearer. stop equity. abolish female categories.

Actually, the state does not have any guidelines. They outsourced that to districts.

With respect to interscholastic athletics, Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association will rely on the gender determination by the student's district; it will not make separate gender determination.

If students athletes, their parents or coaches from other districts have issues with this student's eligibility, they don't have any recourse. That would okay if this student competed only in district meets. But because this student is currently eligible in statewide meet, there should be a statewide policy.

This is like World Athletics allowing each national federation to decide the eligibility for World Championships. That probably would not make sense to many people.

Would certainly have been last. Remember, girls hurdles are 6" shorter. He could literally step over them. Would be much slower over 39" hurdles.

He/she/they was not born male. Society just put that label on him/her/it.

Biology is a social construct, not a reality

Men are better at…(checks notes) women’s sports than actual women

Why is this site interjecting editorial content when they say to keep on topic? Why refer to this case as “unfortunate?” So pathetic.

Hahahaha

Why does nonbinary allow them to race the girls.

By definition nonbinary in neither male nor female. They shouldn’t be boys or girls races.

If it were my child doing this... I would sit him down and explain to him why it was wrong.

And I would tell your kid why it was right.

How much longer will this insanity last, where is that common sense?

Please tell me how it's right. Right now.

Long ago, we had a thing called sports. The best people at sports were all biologically male. So we created a second category of women's sports so women could excel.These categories are all based on biology. It has nothing to do with whether you want to wear a dress, wear long hair, wear high heels etc.

In my mind, we should treat men and women equally in all walks of life except for sports. The idea that if you feel effeminate you are a woman and if you feel masculine you are a man is sexist as hell. Men can be nurses. Women can work in construction. Caitlyn Jenner is not a woman she's a transgender woman aka a man that likes to wear 'women's' clothes (but in my mind, there is no such thing as women's clothes).

Thank you, funniest thing I've seen in a while...kinda sad at the same time.

Glad Indiana put a stop to this non sense last year before issues like this occurred.
