A boy who claims he’s a girl absolutely dominated the competition at a girls’ high school track meet in Oregon this week, where he set a new record as a “female.”
Which, he’s not.
But that little biological detail didn’t seem to matter to the adults who allowed Aayden "Ada" Gallagher, an 11th grader who runs for McDaniel High School in Portland, to compete with the girls at the Portland Interscholastic League meet, where he obliterated his fellow competitors in pretty much every event.
In the 400-meter, he crossed the finish line more than seven seconds ahead of the runner-up, the actual girl who otherwise would have won the event.

The provision allowing gender-deluded boys to compete as girls - and vice versa, not that it has nearly the impact on biological males - is set by the Oregon School Activities Association, which oversees the Portland Interscholastic League and by policy “allows students to participate for the athletic or activity program of their consistently asserted gender identity while providing a fair and safe environment for all students.”
The provision runs afoul of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order mandating that schools and institutions that receive federal funding permit students who compete in sex-specific sports to do so in accordance with their biological sex, regardless of their “gender identity.”
