Yesterday in the state high school cross country championship meet in Pasco, Washington, in the 1A division, Aspen Hoffman ran on the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences (SAAS) girls team. Aspen is a male who “identifies as a girl.”
Aspen came in 19th in the girls’ race. This meant that SAAS’s cross-country team was awarded the 2nd place trophy in the state meet. Kings, a female-only team which should have been given that trophy, was bumped to 3rd place. Medical Lake (also female-only) got pushed from its rightful 3rd place position, to 4th.
In the boys’ race at the meet, Aspen would have come in 156th out of 164 male runners.
Girls cheated of their rightful trophies are not only told to suck it up and not protest, as an undeserving team steps above them on the podium. They are also forced to endure abject silence about what has happened to them. I’ve seen nothing about this in the papers here today. Theft? What theft? Trampling of girls’ rights? What trampling? What rights? For heaven sakes, girls, know your place, and don’t be uppity. Be nice.
Readers, take 5 minutes to publicize this on social media and elsewhere. Send a quick email to the Seattle Times sports page editor, complaining that the Times has not covered this. (Paul Barrett: pbarrett@seattletimes.com) Like me, you’re probably active on various other issues playing out in our world right now, but it doesn’t take long to publicize and object to what happened to high school girls in Pasco, Washington yesterday. And what does it say if the destruction of girls’ dreams and rights is treated as a ho hum event unworthy of objection.

They are increasingly alone in this. World Athletics (covering track and field, cross country running, road running, race walking, mountain running, and ultra running) joined FINA (world swimming) in requiring males to compete with males, which means the Olympics will, which means the NCAA will eventually be dragged (quietly kicking and screaming no doubt) into a consistent policy.
The wokies do not give up so easily though, so no doubt it'll continue at the high-school level in blue states.
