In the United States, a growing trend sees male athletes identifying as transgender to compete in women’s sports if they struggle in male competitions, thereby taking top honors in the women’s field. Last week at the Marymoor Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., the top three places were claimed by teams that included transgender men among their competitors.

This marks the first time men have taken first, second, and third place in a women’s race,

– according to an article by Reduxx, as relayed the American Breitbart News website.

Earlier, four former Connecticut high school athletes filed a lawsuit against the state for allowing transgender students to participate in women’s sports. Since 2017, Connecticut’s Department of Education has enforced policies protecting transgender students from discrimination, arguing that they must be treated in accordance with their gender identity at schools receiving federal funding. Selina Soule, one of the plaintiffs, criticised this policy as unfair to female athletes, citing negative impacts such as lost qualifying positions, diminished placings, and missed sports scholarships.

„I’ve lost qualifying spots in tournaments, had worse placements, and missed out on a sports scholarship. It has been a very frustrating and heartbreaking experience,”

– Soule, who sued the state with her three team mates for allowing transgender students to participate in female sports, complained in an interview. The complaint was filed last year, but it was dismissed by a district court. However, the advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) appealed and continues to represent the four former high school athletes, pending a decision on the case.
