Despite Minnery’s protests, Wangyot, a Thai native who was born male and identifies as female, qualified and competed in the Class 3A girls’ sprints at the state meet, capturing third place in the 200-meter dash (27.3) and fifth in the 100 (13.36). She also played for the girls volleyball and basketball teams at Haines during her senior year |
My first response to this was that it is unfair. On a competitive level in any sport men are leaps and bounds better than women. This is most clearly seen in track and field because there are actual times to compare (for example at the age of 17 I ran faster than any woman in the history of planet earth in the 800m with a time of 1:52. Womens world record is 1:53.).
But this person is on hormones, which obviously work because the time she ran, on a male scale would be abysmal. With a regulated hormone regimen this seems like it eliminates the competitive advantage. What do you guys think?
