Rather than officials feeling pressure, they are following the rules. If anyone there has a problem with it, they need to contact the CIF.
They let a dude compete with the girls.Thats f@cking sick and embarrassing
They can’t prevent someone who is eligible from “competing” at the meet. It just isn’t an option for the officials. If they did so, they would no longer be officiating at any meets in California.

So you have no problems at all watching your daughter get beat by a guy?

Why are the parents of these confused kids allowing this to happen at all?
I'm a left lib-progressive to the far far left....and no, I DO NOT support trans girls in girls races. So there.
But still: These trans kids are not "confused." It's just the opposite: They transition BECAUSE they are confused about their birth gender and transitioning resolves that confusion. Give em' an effing break (except for sport).

You're absolutely correct!
Parents and athletes need to STOP complaining about this, and do something. Simply DO NOT allow your child to participate in the event if there's a BOY allowed to compete. Let the BOY run the race alone...PERIOD! This will force CIF to re-evaluate their trans policy. I'm all in for a Trans-Only event, no one is saying they can't compete, just not against biological girls. This is called "compromising", both sides are allowed to compete in a "Fair" and "Equitable" setting. This is about athletic competition, right? Nothing more, nothing less.

So you see a kid named George, john, Bill etc thinking it's ok for them to compete in sports vs the Jill, Betty, Mary, that isn't confusion, really?

Once again a LRer calling for a big sacrifice from others while doing nothing besides posting.
Your thread title is incorrect. The first girls to finish were given the state titles for the 2 events. Did you even read the articles to which you linked?
Mods please change that title of this thread. It’s factually incorrect. For the record I know they won’t and it was probably one of the mods that posted this thread.

Impossible. Nothing is more important than sport in this country. That’s why people clutch their pearls over sharing a podium, missing out on a trophy or ribbon. A boycott of that magnitude would undermine everything they have built up sport to be, which is really sad.
Sports should change the competition categories to biological male and biological female. Problem solved for the vast majority, except for rare instances like Semenya, which would have to be taken up on a case-by-case basis by the governing bodies.
