Attention townspeople! History has been made! For the first time in Alaskan history, a biological male has won all-state honors in girls track and field.
But first, let’s backtrack .
The Alaska Schools Activities Association recently implemented a policy which allows each school to decide if transgender athletes can compete with the gender of their choice. There’s no general rule. The problem is, some schools don’t even require that a transgender student show evidence of transitioning. They simply need to declare he/she is the opposite gender and ideally, their actions, attitude, dress and mannerisms will align.
That’s it. You could literally say, “Hey, I’m a girl” and wear a skirt one day and compete in female sports.
Because of that policy, Haines senior Nattaphon Wangyot was able to compete against the girls.
Needless to say, his competitors weren’t too happy about it. (They’re transphobic, obviously.)
“I’m glad that this person is comfortable with who they are and they’re able to be happy in who they are, but I don’t think it’s competitively completely 100-percent fair,” competitor Emma Daniels said.
I should note, Wangyot took her slot in the state meet.
“I don’t know what’s politically correct to say, but in my opinion your gender is what you’re born with,” Peyton Young, another runner, said.
“It’s the DNA. Genetically a guy has more muscle mass than a girl, and if he’s racing against a girl, he may have an advantage,” she added.
Exactly. Men have the ability to build more muscle. They generally have a bigger bone structure. They’re naturally stronger. It’s biology. You can’t reverse biology.
In 2014, UFC fighter Ronda Rousy was asked about transgender WMMA fighter Fallon Fox fighting against women. She said it best:
“She can try hormones, chop her pecker off, but it’s still the same bone structure a man has,” Rousey said. “It’s an advantage. I don’t think it’s fair.”
It’s not fair. But what do we know? We’re just blinded by hate and intolerance. .
