Ryan McLaughlin, a sports reporter with The Ellsworth American, deleted his X account on Thursday following intense backlash after he posted a statement telling female athletes that they should simply train harder to win against transgender-identifying males.
“There’s a concept in running… if you want to win, I don’t know, train harder? Do more speedwork? Trashing LGBTQ teenagers won’t win you races. Training FAST will,” said McLaughlin.
McLaughlin deleted the original post along with his entire account after the prominent Libs of TikTok account, run by Chaya Raichik and dedicated to exposing radical leftists online, responded to his post.
“Sports editor at ‘The Ellsworth American’ blames girls for losing when they’re forced to compete against males— says girls just need to ‘train harder,'” she said.
Although he deleted his account and the backlash on his post cannot be viewed, the response to Raichik’s post could indicate what he was facing.
“Who knew that ‘feminism’ would be responsible for most misogyny in modern times? Really, nobody could’ve predicted that,” said one account.
“This complete buffoon is ignorant of biology. When very poor male athletes are smashing female records, how can you not view this as tragically unfair? This guy needs to be removed from post,” said another.
McLaughlin’s original post came in response to a video showing a transgender-identifying male in Oregon dominating a race against actual girls, setting a new record and running drastically faster than any of his female opponents.
The Ellsworth American has published multiple sports articles by McLaughlin since his controversial statement, suggesting that his statement has had no negative impact on his work at the weekly newspaper.
The volume of adult female lungs is typically 10-12% smaller than that of males who have the same height and age.

This is an archaic attitude. When did science start to mean so little? I guess biology, physiology, and anatomy are not taught in school anymore. Don’t big marathons have a male winner, a female winner, and a wheelchair winner? Why would that be the case? If transgenders want a category, I suggest they join together and advocate for it. Stop mooching off of the female category.
This guy is just another example of what is wrong with Maine .
You can’t get much dumber than this .
Hey Ryan go sit in the back of the room and shut up .
NOBODY is interested in anything you have to say .
The Ellsworth American was a fine paper with rational writers until its long time publisher, Alan Baker, sold it about fifteen years ago. It is now just part of the leftist Maine press which, I have read here on the Maine Wire, is now mostly owned by the communist, George Soros and his minions. I have not been a subscriber since Alan sold it.
Yeah, let’s let a thoroughbred race against the ponies, then blame the ponies for losing.
Doh!
JBL: “biology, physiology, and anatomy are not taught in school anymore” – nothing is taught in schools anymore. When you keep the populace ignorant, you can control them. Just the same as what we did to slaves in the 19th Century – we forbade educating them so we could keep them from realizing the power they would have if they could read and write.
This article will look good on his resume whenever he applies for a job writing for the Portland Press Herald.
Maybe these males should “train harder” to compete against other males rather than against woman!
I wouldn’t dirty a fish with that wrapper.
That’s a smug look on Ryan McLaughlin’s unshaven puss.
