Transgender Runner Dominates High School Girls Race In Oregon In Latest Mocking Of Women's Sports

Published|Updated

A transgender runner in Oregon continues to dominate high school girl's races, and the video of their latest win is a devastating blow to anyone who still doesn't believe biological men have a physical advantage over women.

Aayden Gallagher, the biological male who identifies as a girl, eviscerated the competition in the girl's 400-meter race in the Portland Interscholastic League Championship semi-finals earlier this week.

Video shows Gallagher, a sophomore at McDaniel High School, take over the race about 150 meters in and never look back. Gallagher enters the home stretch of the race seconds before the runner-up finisher even makes the final turn on the track.

After securing first place in the 400-meter, Gallagher is set to run in the finals on Thursday where a first or second-place finish would qualify them into the Oregon State Championship meet.

Gallagher racing against girls is nothing new.

Last month, Gallagher finished runner-up in both the girls 200-meter and 400-meter races at the Sherwood High Schoool Need for Speed Classic, also held in Oregon. They would have finished 61st (out of 65) and 46th (out of 58), respectively, if they had run against the boys in the event.

In a May 2023 interview, Gallagher explained that while they were not on hormone therapy, they'd like to be in the future.

"I feel like it’ll make me a lot more confident," Gallagher said. "Because right now I’m just going to keep on getting more and more masculine. More facial hair, stuff like that. And I don’t want that. Estrogen and other hormones and getting vocal training would make me a lot happier and more confident."

While there are plenty of people in this situation worthy of blame, most of the fingers need to be pointed directly at the Oregon Department of Education as it allows students to participate on sports teams and to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that reflect their preferred gender identity.

The Department of Education's policy is a reflection of Oregon state law allowing students to participate on sports teams that reflect the gender they identify as.

Gallagher is responsible for taking away an opportunity from a deserving female competitor, and the state's department of education is guilty of doing the same.
