California parent whose daughter lost to biological male in girls' track competition responds

[Put Queers Down!]

EXCLUSIVE – A California parent of a female runner who lost to a
biological male in Saturday's California Interscholastic
Federation (CIF) race called it "unfair" in an interview with
Fox News Digital.

Athena Ryan, a transgender female, finished in second place in
the varsity girls 1,600-meter run finals on Saturday in the
sectional Meet of Champions.

Ryan, of Sonoma Academy, finished behind Hanne Thomsen of
Montgomery High School and ahead of Ellie Buckley of Campolindo
High School. Ryan will advance to the CIF State Track & Field
Championships next week.

Ryan, a junior, finished with a time of 4:55.91.

"I wasn’t expecting that. I dropped like 17 seconds on my
season’s best in the past two weeks," Ryan said after the win.
"After last weekend, I didn’t think I could run low 5's again. I
was just coming here trying to break 5 – just glad I finished it
out."

One of the parents of the runners who lost to Ryan, whose name
is being withheld due to fears of retaliation and bullying,
blasted the competition for allowing a biological male to
compete against the girls.

"I'm absolutely opposed to it. There's no way this should be
allowed," the parent said. "Ryan was in like fifth place with
100 to go, and all of a sudden he... blew past the girls."

"How do you not understand that that's unfair?" the parent said.

"I 100% percent empathize with the need to belong and the desire
to compete. [However,] you have to understand how hard these
girls work to do this."

"You're cheating [the sport], like the narcissism of this whole
thing," the parent said about CIF's policies.

The parent also said that the girls will not speak out about
their disappointment of Ryan's inclusion in their sport because
it could be considered "bullying" and affect their ability to
compete at all.

"The student athletes' reactions are very tempered and
controlled as much as they can because they're not allowed to
show any reaction whatsoever to potentially not affirm what is
happening," the parent said. "We've been advised that anything
that potentially can come off as bullying is a code of conduct
violation. And so by CIF rules [the girls are] unable to speak
out about this."

The parent added that the bullying policy is extended to
families, so if a parent speaks out, it could be considered
bullying.

When asked about how the parent responded to the game, the
parent said the daughter was focusing on the sport.

"Oh, at this point in time, because we're in the heart of her
championship season… I don't want anything to distract her from
this. If you let any energy zap you, if you commit any time or
any emotion to this it is going to kill you," the parent said.

Sonoma Academy did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.

The CIF said, "California law permits students to participate in
sex-segregated school programs and activities, including
athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent
with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender
listed on the pupil's records. (Education Code section
212.5.(f). Additionally, in accordance with California law, CIF
Bylaw 300. D. provides that students should have the opportunity
to participate in CIF activities in a manner that is consistent
with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on
a student’s records."

The girls are bullied into silence by the administration. So
unfair on every level, what an impossible situation. If they say
anything they are accused of bullying, if they don’t participate
they miss out on the opportunity of a championship, the ability
to advance in their sport, or a college scout watching. An
impossible situation.

Not at all it just takes guts which finally some are showing.
line up hear the gun then take a nice hour long walk to the
finish line.

You did then compete as your scholarship may demand, and you
held up the event until you finished, and you proved your point.

Just how many events do you think it would take to stop this
insanity... not a lot.

Imagine if our founders remained silent to England and were
afraid of being called bullies.

All the more reason to speak out. The fact that we've reached a
point where speaking common sense is "bullying" means the
madness gone way too far. We have to bring the world back to
sanity.
