Girls鈥 sports and young female athletes took another gut punch over the weekend.

In high school track and field championships in both California and Washington, transgender female athletes took home gold鈥攔unning off with titles that should have gone to young women who played by the rules nature handed them. Yet again, if you dare speak up, you鈥檙e branded a bigot, a 鈥渞ightwing extremist鈥 by left-wingers who used to claim they belonged to a party that fought for women. Now? They fight to erase the very women they pretended to support.

This isn鈥檛 just a headline or another round in the culture war for clicks. It鈥檚 personal for every single girl who trains, sacrifices, and dreams of championships and opportunities, only to be told, 鈥淪orry, your hard work isn鈥檛 enough when a biological male wants to compete against you.鈥 This is not progress. This is erasure. And it鈥檚 happening because the so-called 鈥渇eminists鈥 have abandoned real women in favor of virtue-signaling social justice theater.

Female athletes lost opportunities over the weekend to trans girls

In Washington, 17-year-old Ver贸nica Garcia took the Class 2A 400-meter dash鈥攆or a second straight year鈥攍eaving every girl in her wake, including runner-up Lauren Matthew, who once again missed out on the title she trained for. At the awards ceremony, Garcia faced from the crowd. Her female opponents were cheered.

鈥淚鈥檓 going to put this in the most PG-13 way, I鈥檓 just going to say it鈥檚 a damn shame they don鈥檛 have anything else better to do. I hope they get a life. But oh well. It just shows who they are as people,鈥 Garcia afterward.

Similarly, in California, 16-year-old AB Hernandez the girls鈥 state track and field finals, winning both the high jump and triple jump, and snagging second in the long jump.

But, but, but…there aren’t that many trans athletes

The defenders of this madness always trot out the same tired line: 鈥淭here aren鈥檛 that many trans athletes, so this isn鈥檛 really a big deal.鈥 Indeed, Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal downplayed the fact that it’s happening at all.

If biological boys competing against girls is so rare, why are they willing to set fire to fairness, destroy the integrity of girls鈥 sports, and demonize parents and athletes who protest? Why do they go scorched earth to stop laws protecting girls? When it comes to gun violence, they say “one death is one death too many” in order to justify gutting our Second Amendment protections. Here? They simply pretend it’s not a big deal that every single instance of a girl denied a fair competition, a podium spot, a college scholarship, or a record time is one too many. And we don’t have to violate constitutional protections to say so.

None of this is theoretical.

A young, female athlete lost her shot at a title in Washington state鈥攕ometimes a once-in-a-lifetime chance鈥攂ecause adults want to feel good about themselves on social media. Other girls lost out on being on the podium or placing higher than where they ended up. Another girl missed out on the competition entirely because a spot was taken by a biological boy.

Progressives are not interested in science or fairness; they want applause for pretending to be 鈥渙n the right side of history,鈥 even if it means trampling the dreams of young women they claim to champion.

Where are the trans boys in competitions?

Inherent in this canard that this issue isn’t real or not effectively cheating, is the proof that there’s a biological advantage for transgender female athletes.

If being transgender didn鈥檛 offer an advantage, why don鈥檛 we see trans boys (biological females) dominating in boys鈥 sports? Why aren鈥檛 they taking home state titles in football, wrestling, or basketball? Why don’t we see them playing at all? We all know the answer.

Nature, puberty, and physiology matter, and no amount of identity politics can erase the athletic gap between male and female bodies at this level. Changing pronouns doesn’t change biology.

Compassion? Yes. Cheating? No.

To the trans athletes who genuinely love their sport and want to compete: I get it. Your passion is real and you shouldn’t be subject to bullying from some. This cannot be easy. But there鈥檚 a difference between inclusion and outright cheating鈥攅ven if it鈥檚 sanctioned by a woke athletic commission.

Wanting something badly doesn鈥檛 make it fair. We all聽飞补苍迟听things we can’t have and we certainly don’t deserve things we didn’t earn simply by using a biological advantage over the competition in gender-separate leagues.

No one is saying transgender girls shouldn鈥檛 compete. But the answer cannot be to let them dominate girls鈥 events. We should find solutions that protect the integrity of women鈥檚 sports and allow all athletes to participate without erasing the boundaries that make girls鈥 sports meaningful in the first place. But Progressives, and transgender girls, need to be willing to do what’s right.
