Students and parents demand 'unfair rule' change after two transgender teen sprinters come first AND second in the girl's state championship, months after one competed as a boy

  • Transgender teen Terry Miller set new records at the CIAC State Open track and field competition finishing in first place for the 100 and 200-meter dashes 
  • Miller, a sophomore at Bulkeley in Connecticut, was born male but identifies as a female
  • She finished the 100-meter dash in 11.72 seconds and the 200-meter dash in 24.17 seconds
  • Fellow transgender sprinter Andraya Yearwood came in second place for the 100-meter dash at the competition 
  • Last year, Yearwood, who also identifies as female, came in first place  
  • Parents, students and coaches are calling for a change in rules that allows trans athletes to compete in the gender specific sport in which they identify

A Connecticut high school sophomore dominated in last week's track and field competition - but the transgender teen's big win has some people outraged and wondering if it's fair she was allowed to compete. 

Terry Miller, who was born a male but identifies as a female, came in first place twice during the June 4 CIAC State Open track and field competition.  During the 100-meter dash, Miller smoked her competition finishing the race in just 11.72 seconds. She also killed it in the 200-meter dash finishing in 24.17 seconds.

The Bulkeley High School teen, who competed on the boys' team during the winter indoor track season, set new state records last Monday in both races, the CT Post reports. 

Fellow transgender sprinter, Andraya Yearwood, also dominated at the competition finishing in second place in the 100-meter dash.

Last year, Yearwood came in first in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes at the Class M state track and field championship. She competed in the races last year before undergoing hormone treatments. 

It's not clear if Yearwood or Miller underwent treatments before competing in this year's competition.   

Some of the girls' competitors were angry they were allowed to compete on the women's team.  

'I think it's unfair to the girls who work really hard to do well and qualify for Open and New Englands,' Glastonbury sophomore Selina Soule told the Hartford Courant. 

Soule finished in sixth place in the 100-meter dash.

'These girls, they're just coming in and beating everyone,' she added. 'I have no problem with them wanting to be a girl'.  

The teen's mother, Bianca Stanescu, told CT Post that there's no transgender competition when it comes to things like 'math and science and chorus' but with sports it's different. 

'Sports are set up for fairness,' she said. 'Biologically male and female are different, adding that  'the great majority is being sacrificed for the minority'. 

According to the Hartford Courant, Stanescu has gotten about 60 people to sign a petition calling for for the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference to change its rule that athletes are allowed to compete in the gender specific sport in which they identify.

A second petition started by a father-of-two is also calling for the rule to be changed. As of Monday, it had more than 80 supporters.  

Lorenzo Milledge, a coach from Simsbury, said the 'rule needs to be changed'.

Glastonbury coach Brian Collins told the CT Post that he agrees it's not fair for Miller and Yearwood to compete on the girls' team. Collins was among the group of people who signed Stanescu's petition.

Yearwood, pictured on the left with her mother, came in first place in the 100-meter dash during last year's competition 

'The way the law is written, Terry Miller is eligible to compete,' he said. 'I think a lot of people, myself included, have a problem with … a biological male competing. When they put the state law in effect, my interpretation is it wasn't made for high school sports. I think it was meant for all people — whether transgender, bisexual, gay — are treated fairly. I totally agree with that, but with sports it's not a level playing field.'

There are, however, some people rooting for Yearwood and Miller.  

Bridget Lalonde, a student at RHAM High School who finished in third place in the 100-meter dash, told the CT Post that she was not upset the transgender teens beat her. 

'To be honest, I think it's great they get a chance to compete and as long as they're happy, I guess, there's not that much I can do,' she said. 'The rules are the rules. The only competition is the clock. You can only run as fast as you can.' 

Newton student Carly Swierbut agreed telling the outlet: 'If you're good enough to run, you're good enough to run. If somebody wants to win, they're going to work their tail off to win. It doesn't matter who you are, what you are, everybody should have the chance.

The liberal left, the "champion of women" have no problem with destroying the integrity of womens' sports.

I disagree with the girl in the very last paragraph. It doesn't matter how hard a girl works or trains, she's not going to beat a boy in this race!

This will kill girls sports.

It's not fair.

Time to start a transgender division.

Let them compete against each other.

JMHO.

The transgender issue will not hurt mens' sports. Women competing with men is not the same as men competing on a womens' team. Sorry. Men have the advantage in speed, strength, size, its biology.

Even the transgenders say they have the wrong body. That they are a girl in a MALE body. They admit that and acknowledge that. Well, sports is a competition of the BODY. Sheesh.

Depends on if these transgender competitors have been take transition hormones.

A teen who began taking female hormones before puberty will have a female muscle mass, bone density, and statue.

The playing field will be level.

Most states don't allow that sort of thing, before the age a 16.

And, any parent who would let this be done, to a child, under the age of 16, or 18...has got to have a screw loose.cry

Again, just my humble opinion.

Girls, should compete against girls.

Boys, should compete against boys.

Let the transgender folks, compete against each other.

That seems fair, to me.

 Actually, kids as young as 9 are taking these drugs.

 Perhaps but then is the school going to have to delve into the private medical history?  And, i don't think it is that simple.  What if they started and stopped for a period, etc?  This would be very difficult and not at all easy to determine.

 Here is one report on it.

It's hard to find links with younger kids, however, I have found them in the past.

 

It starts with hormone blockers.

 I like this idea.  They want to be defined as their own gender so let them compete against there own gender.

 I agree completely.  And even if it were a valid point, they just STARTED taking transition hormones.

 That is all sorts of f'ed up.  And it should be illegal.  And those idiot parents should lose their kids.

Have you watched I Am Jazz? She's been on hormones since a very young age. The problem though is that it kind of chemically castrates them. So, not sure their sexual pleasure really develops that well either. In addition to the risks of long term hormone treatments, cancers, etc. Since she took hormones, her penis didnt' really develop very much so now that she wants a surgical vagina, there isn't enough tissue to work with. This is no easy road for any of them. I think that most of them are very tortured souls and doesnt seem like any amount of surgery, clothing, etc is going to be enough. Or at the very least, it's a long expensive road and a lot of them cannot afford it.

No, I haven't watched it.

But, what these drugs do to their sexuality, isn't the topic.

Should a male, who thinks he's a female, be allowed to compete against "girls"?

Putting on a skirt, doesn't make you female.

And, my answer is still, NO! 

I don't wish these kids any ill will.

I just don't think you belong on a Girls Track Team, if you were born with a penis.

(I know, how old fashioned of me. Sorry. Not sorry.)

JMHO

 I disagree.

For me, the drugs, treaments, side effects, all of it, is the most important thing.

Running on a high school track team is a 4 year thing. It ends.

These transgender people are doing irreparable damage to their bodies.

There is way more to it than just wearing a skirt.

Society is creating a future medical crisis.

For the most part, next to none of these high school kids are taking the drugs.

They are too young, to be allowed to take them.

They are still male.

They shouldn't be allowed a place on the Girls Track team.

They need a place in a mental hospital. Or therapy.

So you don't think learning about how these drugs affect the body is important?

High school lasts for such a short time.

These drugs are causing life long health problems and all that's ever talked about is the fairness of crap.

That's not the point of this thread, Lily.

The point is, Title 9 was passed for a reason.

It was passed, to give women, a fair shake, in the ability to participate in athletics, among other things.

To give men, the upper hand, once again, because they define themselves as female, is appalling.cry

These boys need mental help.

They have no right to take the place of our daughters, when it comes to scholarships, or recorders, or anything else.

If you were born with a penis....run with the boys!

Period! End of story! (Or, it should be, in my opinion.)

As for the life long health problems...well, shame on any parent, or doctor, who would do such a thing, to a young person.

That's just sad.

They will have to answer for it, when they meet their maker.

 Well, considering the high rate of suicide in transgenders that attempt to physically change their gender - probably not as big a crisis as you think.

 

But you can take all the drugs and fvck up your body all you want - it still doesn't turn a boy into a girl.  There's these things called CHROMOSOMES.
