This brings us to Minna Svärd, a young Swedish woman and track star - or she was considered a track star until her records were stolen by a male allowed to compete in the women's category. Minna isn't taking this lightly; she has taken to the Wall Street Journal to describe just how unfair this practice is, and to demand justice. 

She's right in every particular.

It’s been three years since swimmer Lia Thomas (born William) won the gold medal in the 500-yard freestyle at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championship. It wasn’t until the release of President Trump’s Feb. 5 executive order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” that the U.S. government established a clear policy protecting the integrity of female athletics.

This step, while welcome, isn’t enough. The official results of past competitions should be corrected to align with reality. Male competitors should be removed and the rank of affected women increased accordingly.

This is an interesting step, but it would restore some justice to the process. It may be unlikely, though, as the national and international bodies governing these sports would have to take action to retroactively examine these titles and trophies, and many of these organizations are the ones who allowed men to compete on women's teams to begin with.

Minna Svärd goes on to present her personal experience, and it rings sadly familiar.

This is personal. In 2019, when I was a sophomore at East Texas A&M University, I was assigned second place in the finals of the NCAA Division II Women’s 400-meter hurdles. The video from that event shows me racing in lane 8. In lane 4 is CeCé Telfer of Franklin Pierce University—who competed for that school’s men’s team in 2016 and 2017. Craig Telfer ranked 390th among NCAA Division II men. CeCé Telfer destroyed the women’s field and crossed the finish line almost two seconds before me, becoming the first known transgender-identified athlete to win an NCAA title.

That made me the first collegiate woman to be told her victory was worth less than a man’s feelings. I cried a lot that day—not because I lost, but because of how I lost. I also knew I wasn’t the only victim. Every time a male athlete enters a female competition, a woman gets cut from the roster to make room.

This is a case the likes of which we're reading all too often in recent years. President Trump has taken steps, but this is a societal matter; even Congress cannot completely address this reality-denying social contagion.

But if sunshine is a great disinfectant, so too are facts great at uprooting falsehoods, and the facts support Minna Svärd and others like her, young women who are protesting this idiotic practice, this denial of biological reality.

And here are facts:

The (sports performance) gender gap ranges from 5.5% (800-m freestyle, swimming) to 18.8% (long jump). The mean gap is 10.7% for running performances, 17.5% for jumps, 8.9% for swimming races, 7.0% for speed skating and 8.7% in cycling. The top ten performers’ analysis reveals a similar gender gap trend with a stabilization in 1982 at 11.7%, despite the large growth in participation of women from eastern and western countries, that coincided with later- published evidence of state-institutionalized or individual doping. These results suggest that women will not run, jump, swim or ride as fast as men.

Of course, this isn't a factor for the transgender activists - facts are irrelevant to the left, and the transgender agenda is exclusively a product of the "woke" left. It's all about feelings, but assauging these feelings is anthema to the left. And it is a great irony that the hopes and wishes of young women, a demographic that the left claims to care about, are disregarded in favor of the promotion of "transgender women" - men - in women's sports.

Speaking as a biologist myself: Men and boys are, and always will be, stronger, faster, with more endurange then women and girls. They have more muscle mass, more fast-twitch muscle fibers, greater cardio-pulmonary capacity, and more robust skeletons. These differences are great enough to be differences not in degree but in kind, which is why we have girls and women's sports with different standards.

These are facts.

Cecé Telfer went on to write a book and was profiled by the New York Times magazine in a lengthy article titled “ ‘For My People’: A Transgender Woman Pursues an Olympic Dream.” That dream collapsed in 2021 when he failed a testosterone test.

I don’t expect I’ll ever be profiled in a fawning magazine feature. But I did accomplish one thing that will always fill me with pride: In 2019 I was the fastest female 400-meter hurdler at any NCAA Division II school. It’s been five years since that honor was stolen from me. I want it back.

She is right to demand that honor back, as are thousands of girls and young women in similar positions. May their voices be heard, loud and clear.
