Yes, I can see a path to sub 2 here. Given a few more weeks of training (from a college coach), she could probably go sub 25 in the 200m.

Couldn't all of this "I feel like a woman" crap be abolished by making those who are truly transgender be diagnosed? It is a disorder with recognizable symptoms, and I say we treat it as such. If you want to be considered transgender, you must be diagnosed by a doctor. It solves the problem of anyone "feeling like a girl" to get scholarships, championships, records etc. If I am wrong about the symptoms being easy to diagnose than this idea is thrown out the door, but from what I hear from transgender supporters, they always describe it as a mental disorder.
This still doesn't solve the problem of true transgender Male to Females competing in female sports. In that case I say you compete with the people of your biological sex, end of story. If born with male parts, you compete with males and if born with female parts, you compete with females. Keep the current rules about extra chromosomes, which from my understanding make anyone in the gray area compete with men. Differences in body physique and hormones will not allow for fair competition.
It already is diagnosable- see the DSM V for Gender Dysphoria. This diagnosis is then treated through transitioning and therapy. The use of a diagnosis also protects transgender individuals from being denied insurance coverage as the charges are not cosmetic but rather necessary treatment.
It will be hard to definitively answer how transgender athletes will fit into different sports, I'm not denying that. However to answer that question requires an intellectual and civilized discussion, not anonymous attacks on teenagers. There may be rules in place already in Alaska, we probably aren't hearing the whole story of what happened to lead up to her competing openly.
This is going to be great. Feminism is going to be turned on its heads. Lol is this what Billy Jean King fought for? Title nine? Liberalism is imploding on itself. I wonder if the Oscars will change the categories too? Can men be nominate for women in a supporting role? We are in for a real ride here people. It's going to be absolutely INSANE. I cant wait til trans women get to be in in women's softball. Women's soccer. Women's marathon. Be ready to be dismissed as a bigot if you even question anything. Zimmerman is white, the white lady is black, Bruce Jenner is a woman, nothing is what it is anymore. Marriage is two women, or two men.. I love it. Burn Rome, I got my fiddle.
There is no such thing as 100% male or 100% female
This women and men category was arbitrary at best.
Transgenders have not had their place in sports. Now they do. I'm happy that they are not discriminated against anymore.
Think of it Caster is way more of a man than this HS girl.
Anyway, this HS girl can now compete with the other girls. I hope that a College will spot her talent and recruit her. The timing is good. Jenner paved the way.
If a College recruits her, it will be the equivalent of the first black player in baseball.

NO ITS THE equivalent of the black sox scandal. Its cheating but it wont be reported that way. It will be embraced by the left media, and people will be outcast and terrorized if they dare question this. Social justice warrior millennials and "progressives" have proven themselves to advocate changes for changes sake. It doesn't matter what the change is, they just want change.
Will "her" medals and records be re-issued?
Lmao. That's a rosy outlook..

You make it sound like sub 2 for 800m is some sort of un achievable objective...

dont be ridiculous , its
NOT going to.
We are on a trajectory to completely dismantle every tradition whether its decent or not decent. I blame this on baby boomers and what they've been teaching people on campuses for the past 25 yr. Its leftover LSD mentality.
i am seriously considering recruiting this girl. I am going to get in touch with our compliance office after the break and se what can be made of this. If it works i will get all the trans athletes to come to my school because of my open mind. if it fails they will write a book or make a sappy movie about us like hoosiers.
Do it. You'll also break every record if they compete

You... you cannot be serious.
"women" to a social justice warrior is a feel, an idea.
Sex is biology, male n female.
So when they say woman and man they arent kidding. "Men" can have pregnancies now. Males cannot.
Its awesome isn't it? Remember the photo of the men in the senate hearing on women's birth control, and the feminists said "wheres the women?". WEll now you can say " what if they identify as women, there were then women actually in the hearing". Everythings fluid now, everything.

Yes, it's going to be huge news. You can expect a lot of publicity around this. It will open up the possibility for more transgender to participate in sports. I do however suggest that she not choose a College in North Carolina.
"TERFS" are not for this. Google TERF.

Yeah...its fair alright...http://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2016/05/27/transgender-student-in-southeast-alaska-sets-her-own-path/

Although she’s been participating in sports for some time, she’s only been running for a few months. Yet she’s already ranked 4th and 7th stateswide. How is that possible if the hormones supposedly make her body equal to girls who have been running for years?

It does nothing to open the possibility for transgenders to participate in sports. Instead it opens the possibility of transgenders winning sporting events.
This is what the Republicans get for their war on science. Bwahahahahha!!!

Anyway, this is past tense. It is now allowed. She did win the bronze at the State Championship. You can't go back in time.
You can't go back and remove the rights of women to vote
You can't go back and remove the rights for blacks to go to University
You can't go back and remove the rights for blacks to play professional sports...
You need to look forward.
