That thing that never happens just happened again
If you’re a boy who wants to compete against girls in high school sports, the state of Oregon looks like the place to be.
A couple of weeks ago, 11th grade trans-athlete Ada Gallagher dominated the girls 200 and 400 meter races for the second year in a row at a Portland regional high school track meet, winning the latter by over a whopping seven seconds, The Blaze reports.
Gallagher dominated the same meet last year, and later won the girls 200 meter state championship.
This past week, another biological male won a girls track event, this time the high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays.
According to the New York Post, Lia Rose, who “reportedly” used to go by “Zachary,” beat his closest competitor by two inches, with a jump of 4’8″.
As Zachary, Rose used to compete against junior varsity boys teams, once finishing dead last out of 11 competitors in a 2023 meet. The winner of that competition jumped 10 inches higher than Rose’s recent winning jump.
Rose (pictured) also competed against boys last year, with a top high jump finish of second place, as well as a second place — out of two competitors — in a JV 3,000 meter race in which he crossed the finish line over a minute behind the other competitor.
A Portland Public Schools spokesperson would not confirm that Lia and Zachary are the same person, citing FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
The Oregon School Activities Association gender identity policy “allow[s] students to participate for the athletic or activity program of their consistently asserted gender identity,” the Daily Mail reports.
OSAA claims this policy “promotes harmony and fair competition among member schools by maintaining equality of eligibility and increase the number of students who will have an opportunity to participate in interscholastic activities.”
Last year, a trans athlete-supporting Oregon track coach who opposes the OSAA policy — and had proposed a separate division for transgender runners — was fired based on his school district’s rules against “hazing, harassment, intimidation, bullying, [and] menacing.”
The coach later sued, citing violations of his First Amendment and 14th Amendment rights.
