Trans High Schooler Participates in Relay

In the latest case of total transgender domination, Brookline High School fielded a strong high school relay team that included a trans girl at a track meet in Massachusetts.

There’s a distinct whiff of the bottom of the barrel being scraped when it comes to stories about trans women dominating women’s sports in right wing press. The anti-woke sports blog, Outkick, reported today on a trans girl, Chloe Barnes, who was among a team of four that won the 4x200 meter relay for Brookline High School at the MSCTA Northeast Invitational.

According to coverage of the meet in the Boston Herald, MSCTA organizers were proud of the meet’s 3,750 participants, and of its inclusivity in allowing participants of any skill level to come and compete.

“There’s no entry standard, so everybody can compete, whether you’re the fastest miler, or the slowest miler, you get a chance to come here and compete. You earn the same track as everyone else.”

Footage of the meet included by Outkick reinforces that a wide variety of skill levels were present, with the Brookline High girls not seeming to struggle on any lap.

Outkick’s reporter claims the footage shows that Barnes intentionally slowed down at two points. Unfortunately, although Assigned reviewed the footage, this reporter is not expert enough at judging high school girls relay track performance to weigh in on whether that’s an absurd lie by Outkick or not. The footage shows Barnes starting her lap in first place (after a strong start from the girl running first), increasing the lead for her team, and the Brookline girls who run third and fourth further increasing it further from there. A dominant performance from Brookline High School in the fifth heat of the MSCTA Northeast Invitational to be sure!

Outkick’s coverage includes their signature sassy tone, misgendering Barnes and editorializing about the propriety of including trans girls in minor high school track meets that focus on inclusivity.

While those of us living in actual reality recognize how ridiculous it is for a biological boy to compete against biological girls, Barnes wasn’t actually breaking any rules. The oh-so-progressive Public Schools of Brookline...

Outkick helpfully provides evidence that the actual bottom of the barrel for its coverage of trans women’s domination of sports is even lower, by including a link to a story from last month about an indoor 1500m in Canada where a 53-year-old trans woman triumphed over the only other woman competing in the age category.
