[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On Saturday, trans-identified male athlete, Veronica Garcia, won the Washington state girls 400-meter race by over a full second, leading the East Valley (Spokane) girls track team to a state championship.
In a video posted on X, Garcia had a massive lead the entire race, and posted a final time of 55.75 seconds with the second-place finisher, Lauren Mathew, running at 56.75 seconds.
Former swimmer at the University of Kentucky and women's rights advocate, Riley Gaines, posted a video of the second-place finisher receiving thunderous applause, and almost nothing when the trans athlete was announced.
"Watch the girls on the podium cheer for the rightful state champ vs when the boy is announced," Gaines wrote. "Stop saying girls are okay with this They're CLEARLY not, but the risks & threats they face for even daring to oppose this are real. My heart breaks for them.
According to TrackScoreboard, Garcia's team captured the state championship title by eight points, with the trans-identified males winning giving them ten points in the process.
