Evelyn Parts is the fastest "girl"in Maryland at the moment. Last year she ran with the boys. Will she dominate Footloc

the last name is "Parts"?

I’m more concerned with why her 800 time is so slow compared to her 1600 and 3200 times.

yea she is part female, part male

I'm assuming that just because MD allows this doesn't mean that Footlocker/NXN will.

Can rojo provide a boots on the ground perspective from Maryland?

Why is a 17:12 5K girl running JV?

This isn’t worth all the bullying. Sure you could argue it’s unfair, but I’m sure Evelyn understands that. She has chosen to only run JV events when it appears she could easily win varsity. Time will tell if she chooses to run the national events or the state series but at the moment it seems she loves running and chooses to run JV so the varsity athletes aren’t impacted. Good for her. Leave her alone until she actually has an impact on the state/national or at least varsity athletes.

Should have quit while you were ahead.

“Leave her alone.”

Don’t make your acceptance on some bogus contingency.

There are much more mature ways to discuss and debate thoughts than to call out an individual by name, who happens to only be in high school, on a website that draws in plenty of traffic. Do you even understand that you’re calling out a ~15 year old anonymously for running and not taking any place in varsity races when she can? Not for killing someone or for being a menace to society, but for running. Not to mention the scrutiny that this probably draws on her already.

If she knows that it's unfair, then why doesn't she just run against the guys?

"Bullying"

Not sure about you, but a male beating up on females, some may consider that "bullying".

I don't agree either, but this is the fricked up world that we now live in, sad. But, yes there's plenty of traffic, but only about 50-75 of the same posters over and over and over and over. Very few "unique" posters.

Transgender athletes are proving the inherent physical advantages of men in sports just as vegans are proving that plants by themselves are an unsustainable human diet (although every society in recorded history has known this intuitively).

It is like letting a petulant toddler who refuses to listen to reason burn their finger in a hot stove. So called "progressives" are in fact regressive in the extremes to which they fight against reality. They fight against the very basic elements that make us human beings and not some kind of infinitely transmutable type of anime.

So JV athletes don't matter?

Tuohy will wipe the floor with them.

Oh brother, get over yourself.

All the progressives I know are fully aware that trans women benefit from advantages over cis women in most sports. It's simple basic science.

Back to the topic: I'm assuming high schoolers are not required to undergo hormone therapy ? That would be kind of insane, expecting them to undergo 2 years of hormone therapy if they're, say, 14.

Perhaps letting trans women compete in JV races is a good solution.

Absolutely no one in these situations is ever compelled to undergo hormone therapy. They have a choice to not compete.

It looks like Parts is running only in mixed "Open" (i.e., sub JV) races even though Parts is still fast enough to run Boys Varsity.

I think this thread should be deleted. This is a kid that is not stealing any trophies.
