High School Girl Who Lost Race to Transgender Athletes Files Federal Complaint



A female high school athlete who didn’t qualify for a track event because two boys who identify as girls ran faster filed a complaint Monday with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

“No one in the state of Connecticut is happy about this, but no one has enough courage to speak up,” Selina Soule said during an interview with Tucker Carlson that aired Monday night on his Fox News Channel show.

The real girls should simply refuse to run against these cheating pervert freaks. Line up for the race and when it starts, WALK to just short of the finish line, stop, flip the officials the bird and walk off the field. Do that a few times and this nonsense will cease.

This is the logical conclusion to the woke feminists claiming that there are no inherent differences between the sexes (genders?). Anyone could have seen this coming with just a little reflection. I am only surprised that it happened so quickly. Get woke, go broke.
