Another Trans Athlete Dominates Girls’ Track Meet as Maine Continues to Claim Discrimination Is Not Real

Once again, a Maine transgender-identifying male athlete seized victory over girls at a high school track meet on Friday, as Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine) continues to resist President Donald Trump’s executive order barring males from girls’ sports.

Meanwhile, the Maine Principals’ Association insists the state’s policy does not discriminate against girls and is consistent with Title IX, and recently offered a legal memo from a powerful law firm in the state that counsels school districts on how to forestall parental engagement in their policies in support of their position.

“Today a biological male won the 800 & 1600 in the girls division at a Maine track meet. Every girl who placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and further in those races was pushed aside so a boy could “win.” This is NOT fair. Our girls deserve a fair, safe, and level playing field,” said Rep. Laurel Libby (R-Auburn) on X.

🚨🚨🚨Insanity. Yesterday a trans-identified boy, Soren Stark-Chessa, racing for North Yarmouth Academy/Maine Coast Waldorf High School, won 1st place in the girls’ 800 meter and the girls’ 1600 meter run.

A transgender-identifying male runner from North Yarmouth Academy took first place in both the 800 and 1,600-meter runs at the POLAND-NYA-YARMOUTH-SEACOAST track meet at the Sacopee Vally High School.

The now high school senior runner has been making headlines for years after taking victories away from the female athletes he has defeated.

On Friday, the trans-identifying runner trounced his female competitors in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 5:57.27, compared to the top female competitor, Anelise Feldman, who came in at 6:16.32. In the 800-meter run, he won by a smaller margin, coming in at 2:43.31, with Lilah Connor finishing just one second after him at 2:44.87.

If he had competed against males, the same result would have earned him 12th place in the 1,600-meter and eighth place in the 800-meter.

One photographer, David Young, who attended the event and posted pictures of it on his Facebook page, told Fox News that multiple spectators were cheering for the transgender-identifying student, and there were no protests against him.

The transgender-identifying student’s victory comes as Maine is involved in an intensifying battle against the federal government’s interpretation of Title IX anti-discrimination laws, which require that males not be allowed to compete in girls’ sports.

Gov. Mills’ refusal to comply has resulted in a loss of some federal education funding for the state, and a promise of further funding losses. Instead of capitulating to restore funding, Maine has sued the federal government over the funding rescission.

I hope every Maine voter remembers that every Maine democrat legislator is in favor of this “ men can beat women “ in sports .

Maybe one way to stop this would be for the girls to refuse to participate en masse. It would be quite a statement if the girls showed up at the start line then just stood there when the gun went off and watched the “person” run the race by himself.

Hey Soren just reminding you that if you require a prostate exam and not a gynecological exam then you are a MALE which makes you mentally ill if you think that you’re a girl. Janet Mills you and the rest of the freak parade are on the wrong side of science and the people of common sense will remind you of that soon. It starts in your local elections pay attention to who is getting elected in your area because it matters eventually.

I am surprised the girls and parents are ok with this, since they refuse to fight for their rights I am not sure why we should waste any more time on this. Until the girls say enough is enough and actually boycott this then why waste our energy fighting for people who will not even fight for themselves?

It’s too bad some ultra rich individual or philanthropic organization or list of sponsors couldn’t fund a sports awards banquet gala open to all top three finishers in girls sports in Maine . Maybe do a go fund me . Invitation only , girls and their immediate family members . NO queers trans men girly boys or other imposters may attend . Give plaques and trophies to the REAL winners of girls sports in Maine .
This trans queer nonsense has grown out of control . Can the Maine Republican Party sponsor it ?
How about Elon Musk ? How about some entity who will stand up for Women’s Rights in Maine .
Can we recognize the REAL winners of these girls sports contests ?

I agree with Bingo. Maine is too far down the rabbit hole where the electorate keeps voting these degenerate Democrats into office who are never going to come to their senses. Unless the girl/women athletes take a stand or the parents of the same do so there is no point fighting this fight. Nearly 75% of the state is against this evil but the policy of protecting mental illness at someone else’s expense still occurs.

Perhaps the republicans running for governor could platform on requiring all records where a male has placed have a ” * ” added with the annotation of biological sex. Might as well do it now because its going to happen after sane people are in charge.

There’s nothing I like better is watching MENTALLY ILL MEN PHYSICALLY BEATING THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF WOMEN. Janet (see you in court) Mills and I are in total agreement on this. Can’t wait until I see men checking them into the boards in “womens” hockey, and hammering those weak females in the head in a boxing ring. Keep it up this good noble endeavor Janet. Trumps got nothing on you.

To Chris: I’ve saying what you said ever since William “Lia” Thomas started his run in college. Just stand there on the line and watch as HE splashes off to a fast start….by himself.

We need that DOJ lawsuit to hit SCOTUS. The mentally ill are still beating up in women. The liberals in Yarmouth of course support this f’n nonsense. The girls opposing should wait at the starting line, let this idiot finish, then start thier race. Seriously, doesn’t this guy and his parents know that something is a little off here? 🤔
