After a trans competition was seen running past his female competitors in the high school 400m race in Portland and leaving the girls hundreds of yards in the back, the girl race has since become a hot topic.
Undergraduate Aayden Gallagher, a 10th- student at McDaniel High School who identifies as a woman, wholly dominated the Portland Interscholastic League Championship Semi- Playoffs on Wednesday, blowing aside all competitors.
Gallagher took first place in the female ‘ 400 feet and second in the 200 feet to qualify for the playoffs, the Daily Mail reported.
Gallagher, who was permitted to thrive as a lady on May 7, clocking in at 25.49 and placing sixth in the 4100 replay and eighth in the 4400 relay, placed second overall.

But the child’s involvement brought many criticism:
It’s obvious misogyny to champion boys in female ‘ sports.

You do n’t have to be a girl athlete by putting on a bra and tucking your junk back. It makes you a person.

Misuse of girls…by the government. https ://t.co/OdEuReJ9mP

Despite the outcry, the Oregon School Activities Association ( OSAA ) has approved Gallagher’s participation under its rules.
The organization’s policy states that the OSAA works to provide a good and healthy atmosphere for all students while allowing students to participate in the sport or activity program of their regularly asserted gender identity.
Rules like this one promote harmony and fair competition among part schools by upholding equality of registration and increasing the number of students who will have the opportunity to participate in interscholastic actions, according to the plan.
Additionally, the OSAA’s guidelines require that any student who explicitly declares their gender identity to a university system been treated as such.
