High School Boy ‘Identifies’ as Girl, Trounces Opponents in Track Meet

Boys and girls have different biological attributes and strengths otherwise transgendered youth wouldn’t feel a disconnect with their bodies, right?

Apparently, that’s not the case when it comes to handling ethics questions in regards to transgendered athletes.

Andraya Yearwood, a freshman at Cromwell and champion track and field runner swept up gold medals in both the 100 and 200 at a tri-meet against Portland and Old Saybrook. The catch is that Yearwood is a transgender athlete and competing for the 1st time as a girl.

But, what does it mean to be a transgender athlete?

The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference “defers to the determination of the student and his or her local school regarding gender identification,” according to a Hartford Courant story about Yearwood earlier in the year

That begs the question is Yearwood just a biological boy who happens to feel like a girl at track and field meets?
