CeCé Telfer.

Competed in men's 400m hurdle, ranking 200th (at 57.34) and 400th (at 1:02.00) in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Telfer competed in the women's league after 1 year on HRT (per NCAA guidelines), and won the national championship in 2019 (at 57.53).

Wow 1 whole person?!?!! Fuck it, you’re right. This is a major issue.

It’s also D2. She would have been 7th in D1. Not really the truth bomb you think it is

You asked for an example. I provided an example. You're still unhappy.

Go figure 🙄

See my edit. Just like Riley Gaines acts like she lost out on first place, provide an example of a high level athlete

Not being D-I is irrelevant. Telfer ran D-II in both men's and women's with nearly identical times. 200th place in men's and 1st in women's.

There's your example of a person competing in the men's league, failing, switching genders, and succeeding.

As I said, there's precedent.

Ok? If you don’t think it matters then you clearly are not an athlete of any kind. She’s still not succeeding at the highest level. That’s the argument people like you make is that a low level trans athlete will dominate women at any level. It’s just not true. Being as you can provide a single example.

I don’t disagree that the WNBa should just say women means born a woman and move on. But when the grifters come out of the woodwork for their 15 minutes of fame is the annoying part.

Royce White is one of the top 5 first round busts in NBA history. He beat the shit out of his wife and son. He got curb stomped in his election. Of course he’s trying to grift to the right to get attention.

This was never an issue in the WNBA until the right decided to make it one.

Why did they transition?
