In the bustling world of competitive sports, we’ve seen an interesting trend: the sanctity of women’s sports being overshadowed by those who identify as transgender. Make no mistake—this isn’t just about running a race. It’s about fair play and common sense, both of which seem to have been tossed aside for a new social experiment. In Washington state, a high school athlete who identifies as transgender once again dominated a girls’ track race, confidently securing a second state championship in the girls’ 400-meter dash. Where fairness should reign, it seems a social agenda is instead taking center stage.
As the results rolled in, so did the boos. And why wouldn’t they? There’s a palpable sense of disbelief and frustration among spectators and athletes alike. This isn’t merely the echo of sore losers but a call to common sense. A male-bodied athlete competing against girls naturally raises questions about the integrity of competition. But instead of addressing these concerns, it seems we’re told to sit down and clap for what feels like an unfair game.
Look at the girls on the podium when the rightful champ, Lauren Matthew, is announced vs when the boy who stole her state title is announced.
She is applauded. He is booed.

Some are quick to chastise those who voice their displeasure, yet it’s hard not to question the true meaning of sportsmanship. While the champion lamented a lack of support from fellow athletes, perhaps the focus should be on why those athletes might feel sidelined in the first place. Does cheering on someone with an inherent biological advantage equate to sportsmanship? Or is it another step toward erasing the line between reality and a manufactured fairness?
And as always, the mainstream narrative twists the situation, turning righteous indignation into branded ignorance. They paint the conservatives as enemies of progress for simply defending conventional fairness. Liberals proudly wave the flag of inclusivity, yet they willingly dismiss traditional female athletes who stand to lose more than just a race—they’re losing a fundamental sense of equality in competition.
This isn’t just a track event gone awry; it’s a symbol of misplaced priorities and the erosion of common values. Is this the kind of progress we want to celebrate? When fairness is sacrificed for political correctness, it’s not just the athletes who lose, it’s all of us who cherish genuine competition and truth. Where do we draw the line, or, rather, have we erased it entirely?
