Another awkward Girls XC race last weekend here in Seattle. Another biological boy runner was the difference between a girls team getting first or second. There was a lot of murmuring when he stood on the podium to accept the girls team trophy. Why are girls being forced to go

Why do we segregate boys and girls in sports? Here is a boy, who says he’s a girl now, finishing 2nd in the girls division yesterday. His time would put him 45th in the boys division. Same course, same day. If a boy can choose to be a girl, then what is a girl?

As the teenage girls point out - he doesn’t menstruate. He doesn’t have to deal with that every month (or on race day). He doesn’t have breasts or hips. A ponytail doesn’t make him a girl. How did this become controversial? I thought we had boy divisions and girl divisions for a

@pnshdvermonster The podium pic is his team accepting the 1st place team trophy. He wasn’t in top ten, but he made the difference between first and second place for the girls team. Our girls are being conditioned to accept being treated unfairly and to distrust their eyes and obvious truth.

@SethDillon It isn’t that easy. For high school or college girls, they have a very small number of opportunities to compete. Asking a high school girl to give up her goal of running for a state, district, or league championship - that’s a lot to ask. Impossible to ask if not all girls do it

The venue, Hayward Field, is incredible. It is the finest track stadium in the US and one of the best in the world. It is spectacular and it must have been so intimidating for Lauren to walk out on the field and see it for the first time just as she’s lining up for her race.

@SethDillon It has to be ALL of them. If half don’t participate all you’ve done is punish the good girls. Reality is that in many parts of US half+ won’t go along with boycott. Try a strategy that doesn’t require near 100% participation for success. You keep repeating yourself shows you
