Trans Athlete Controversy at High School Track Meet

- Aayden Gallagher, a boy who identifies as a girl, finished second overall in the girls' 200m and 400m races at the Sherwood Need For Speed Invitational in Oregon. While the viral video only shows the heat stirring the most controversy, I provide extra context as a former track & field athlete to highlight why this is such a big deal.
Aayden's times would have finished 61st in the boys' 200m and 46th in the boys' 400m. I also discuss inherent biological differences between male and female track athletes. For example, the varsity boy who won this meet in the 200m had a time that was only two-tenths of a second behind Flo-Jo's world record 200m time.
To those who believe Aayden should be allowed to compete with the girls, please consider the following: Whose spot did he take from his own school in order to compete at this meet? Who missed the lifetime memory of a podium finish? It appears this will only end when female athletes refuse to compete, and their parents raise the issue with school administrators. It's terrible that this seems to be the only path forward, girls deserve an opportunity to compete on a fair playing field.

He can't even win the girls race? What a loser.
He intentionally slowed down coming to second because of the backlash. Did you see how far ahead he was? He could have gotten first place easy. You aren't understanding what's going on. I ran track in highschool also.
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 Aight but do you support Trans people competing in Women's Sports?
It's different heats, meaning that he won his heat, but he didn't get the best time. (But yea, he genuinely should've gotten 1st)
He shouldn’t have been in the race at all wth? I can’t believe the brains of yall that are ok with this
@@itsBuckeyeDK I didn't say I was or was not okay with this, but I will tell you now- It is terribly wrong for a "Trans" Person to compete. It is stupid and I genuinely hope Our Government stops corrupting humans.
He is slow. I was used to doing 16 x 200 25 sec intervals along with the rest of my team mates in HS. This insanity is being forced on everyone. Leave the women alone.
That is very fast
Yeah bro if your gonna be trans atleast be fast
@@AidenIsaacks no i meant flashgordon6013 to maintain 25 second pace for 16 intervals. i can barely hold 30, but again i dont run track LOL
He's running my 400 pace💀
I did not realize this happened around the corner from me. I live 12 minutes away from Sherwood High School. This is unacceptable and not fair to those young ladies!! Thank you for sharing the video.
That person is slow asf
fr adult doin over 21 seconds??? embarrassing ngl
how do you compete in the girls section as a man and still lose twice??
He threw the last two events because of the backlash from him smoking the first. It's just a game to him. He is a subpar athlete who cheats to win. And his karma is coming.
I saw a trans female compete in middle school hurdles. He was so far ahead that he intentionally slowed down midway to reduce attention on him. He still finished way ahead.
So your daughter tells you there is a guy in the locker room and you say . ... Honey you need to stand up to him or we can leave?!?
We shouldn't stand up to a guy ... get him out
Middle schoolers are running 25’s
That was a high school meet
It's completely unfair. His parents should be ashamed of them selfs. I'm glad my daughter did go to this race.
this is wrong there is mens sports and womens sports for a reason
I was both at the Sherwood Need for Speed Classic 2 weeks ago as well as an event that went down yesterday called the Dean Nice invitational, and I saw him run each time. First, I’d like to say that Sherwood is a massive meet in our area, and at the time I was comparing it to a pre-state meet. I have zero doubt that every girl in his heat had worked incredibly hard to get to where they were, but that’s even more so at this later (smaller) meet, where he stole gold. Yesterday, he ran in the top heats for the 200, 400, and 4x400, and came 1st for the first two. Now not only is this again incredibly unfair to those athletes, of course, but it’s also unfair to the TEAMS. I don’t want to dox myself, but two wins is 20 points, and that’s a ton. That’s all I’ll add. He’s wreaking havoc, and I wish I could embarrass him in a race but he’s too cowardly to compete on the men’s level
what time did Aayden run in the final where Aayden finished 2nd? did Aayden get beaten or did he run a lesser time on purpose?
They are only trans because they are slow asf I run that during my 400 twice and the second one is faster
I am so very proud of any "Trans" person, The fear, the commitment, the courage to announce to the world that you are not what society and biology deem you to be.Live Your Life... I must also state that athletic competition is not where you should showcase the person that you are. Why not a Trans League?
i suppose the problem with that "trans league" is that reinforce the reality that these people dont want to see. If they want to be treated as what they tell the world they are, then a special league wont do it. They need to participate on the female league to confirm their delusion.
Lia Thomas transitioned in her junior year in College.
-- I am an AAU worth swimmer & an old coach. Swimming and Track & Field are comparable.
-- To have the greatest female Runners, Swimmers & Jumpers not being able to compete fairly? is very demoralizing.
-- People have threatened to harm themselves if they can not compete with the girls..... This is not competing? This is not fair.
-- No one should be stopped who can compete - but - If I take a test that I already know the answers to & I've studied? This is fair but it is not A surprise to the success of the knowledge or the level of accomplishment.
You keep saying it's not fair! What is fair? A British concept like queuing?
stop calling Liam Thomas a she? its a he. and always will be. stop giving him power.
Leah Thomas was ranked around 300th place for mens and 1st for womens, how is that fair?
The parents need to galvanize and support their daughters in boycotting the race at the starting line. Let the imposter(s) run the race by themselves.
I totally agree with you. There are parents and women and girl athletes trying to do something. They have even spoken to Congress. They need to take this statistical proof and example you have given here to back them up. I mean really. High school boys have a time commensurate to Olympic women athletes. And yet, many feel this is okay. The trans can have a division of their own.
It gives the thinking away when someone races. This individual knows she has an advantage the is not fair. If she was taking drugs, she would be disqualified. She is using another performance enhancing approach and that is grounds for disqualification. This is not about her right to be who she is. This is cheating at a sport.
couple of questions was Aayden the only trans runner in the field that race ?
"He should be able to compete." He was able to compete... in the boys events. If he wanted to win in those events, train harder!
What is so terrible about creating a trans-sport category? This way everyone's happy.
man i was at this meet and I thought I mat have noticed this but wasnt sure. The winner of the boys 200 is my teammate
He finished in second place in two events because he was sandbagging.
If the transitioning is done after puberty , that is how I understand it , it becomes an unfair advantage. One of our Canadian athlete , Bishop, missed out on a bronze medal in the 800 meter to such an athlete , life changing loss .
doesn't matter even before puberty 8-11 year old boys are FASTER AND STONRGER than the girls same age. puberty has nothing to do with it , DNA does.
If the transitioning is done before puberty the male still has a much higher bone density than females.
If you think that little boy should be competing with those girls you are sick and should be jailed!
Did you watch the video...
The idea of refusing to compete is so unfair to any girl sitting out. There is so much prep for the race. It’s not like she woke up that morning and decided to start running track.
yeah youre right it is unfair, and we have to make sacrifices for what you believe in. If all girls wouldn't compete then this nonsense would stop. until then it never will. You think the fall of communism in Eastern Europe would've happened if people didnt sacrifice their job or going to prison? (this doesn't compare but you get my point). at some point it has to be done.
@@Nonybusinessxxxxxx It's easy to be callous with other people's money. Are you doing anything for this cause? Or are you just telling young people they need to sacrifice?
Just say dude swimmer, dude runner
Twist, maybe he did it to make a statement about trans in women’s athletics
to be fair, she isn't that fast for a high school girl, any good high school girl is about 24 ish and she ran a 25
Except its a dude that has a biological advantage over every girl there. If he wants to compete he should race with the boys and get his 60th place finish.
Trans should not compete in the women category
you know there are not alot of black girls running there.....i mean the black girls are very well represented in the 200m podiums, so ya know run faster and once we get folks who look like Brittnney Grinner in the pool records there will drop, swim faster
The problem is the weak parents and the schools allowing it.
This pisses me off that's is not fair because that dude should be competing in the mens 100 meter sprint not into women's.
Men are better in every athletics event than women except for 1 which is marathon swimming distances. Even that is biological due to women's body compo making them a bit less drag in the event which surpasses the male athletic advantage over those distances. I really hope this is corrected and remembered as a huge mistake, where the burden of proof should have been met before altering women's sports. It would be like if someone intentionally got bad grades in order to compete and win in the special Olympics, and the athletic advisors just allowed them to compete until it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they and like 1000 other people that started doing the same thing all had an unfair advantage.
dude or not he/she is not really running that fast, so ya know pick it up ladies
I Stand With You!
Just over a year ago, World Athletics set clear regulations on a similar issue regarding the levels of testosterone allowed in female athletes in order to compete at IAAF meetings and the Olympics.
First and far most, we need to protect female sports and be fair to all the girls and ladies competing. Thus, the regulations to protect women sport.
Thanks for caring ❤
Thats how far i was ahead at eing field day.
and he still slow
WHEN EXACTLY did high school principals and school administrators gain the unilateral power to decide what is MALE and what is FEMALE???? This is how LOST we are as a NATION.
A lot of it stems from the International Olympic Committee's 2015 guidelines stating males could declare themselves as female and begin competing after maintaining testosterone levels under a set level for 12 months. I'll have a video out on this soon.
Then boycott until they fix it. Start a women’s only league.
what a travesty. why is this even allowed to happen. Its a bloke. racing against kids. Is he a child molester
Can't the girls run a bit faster ? I mean records have been dropping since the '60s
It varies by high school or meet. The unfair advantage would still exist regardless.
you know there are not alot of black girls running there.....i mean the black girls are very well represented in the 200m podiums, so ya know run faster
