A male high school student recently competed in the great leap at the national inside track meet in Boston, placing her 10th overall. This is the latest in a long line of elbowing female athletes.  ,
Lizzy Cohen Bidwell, a resident of Connecticut and the mother of Lucas, qualified for the national meet by placing first in the girls ‘ high jump at the regional meet.
Bidwell, a high school junior from West Hartford, Connecticut, competed as one of six sexual athletes representing the position March 10 in the great leap at the New Balance Nationals Indoor meet.  ,
At the CIAC State Open Indoor Track and Field Championships, the male athlete placed third in the girls ‘ high jump and fifth in the girls ‘ long jump on February 17.
Connecticut continues to demonstrate a disregard for children’s progress, May Mailman, chairman of the Independent Women’s Law Center, told The Daily Signal. Her organization , defends equal opportunity, personal independence, and what it calls the constitutional relevance of natural sex.
” Thanks to the state’s extra- sexual plans, young people continue to take information, roster spots, respect, and hope away from women”, May said. Every coach, operational official, and family who condones this through their actions is participating in the decay and unequal treatment of women.” This degree of discrimination has no place in our society.
Each participating position in the March 2 local tournament, the New England High School Indoor Track &, Field Championship, was allowed to submit the names of six competition per function, according to the meet system.  ,
Bidwell was one of two trans athletes at the regional meet to defeat female competitors in the great leap.
Maelle Jacques, a natural male from New Hampshire, placed 14th in the event at last week’s nationwide. Jacques qualified by winning the ladies ‘ higher leap Feb. 11 at the country’s Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 2 tournament.  ,
” Another less than poor man atop a children’s podium”, past competitive swimmer and children’s sports recommend Riley Gaines wrote of Jacques on X, previously Snapchat, in a Feb. 14 article. ” He must be so proud”.
Bidwell placed in the Connecticut State Championship’s higher jump and much jump competitions, putting her in front of a female competitor in both events, and qualified for the New England local interior monitor championship. For unidentified motives, the athlete did n’t thrive as scheduled in the female ‘ much jump.  ,
Bidwell’s higher jump of 5 feet, 9 inches at the local made the natural male the highest- ranked “female” performer of , 2024 for inside track at Connecticut high schools. Nationally, he ranks fifth- best among high school girls in the high jump.  ,
If Bidwell had competed in the boys ‘ high jump, however, the athlete would n’t have cleared the height of 6 feet, 1 inch needed to qualify.
Bidwell’s parents legally changed his name from Lucas to Lizzy between ages 9 and 10, Reduxx reported.  ,
A biological female won an award for her entry in the girls ‘ category at the regional, according to Bidwell. The athlete won the Special New England Championship title on March 2 and received the honor of first place.  ,
Boys are taking the place of girls in national sporting events aimed at female athletes all over the country.  ,
For instance, Soren Stark- Chessa, a biological male runner who identified as a female, won the award for Fastest Sophomore Girl at Maine’s largest high school cross-country race at the end of September.  ,
