Trans High School Athlete, 16, Complains About Being Booed After Crushing Female Rivals In Washington State Championships

[Sugar Cookie]

Transgender high school athlete Veronica Garcia, 16, was disappointed that fellow runners didn't cheer when she was awarded the gold medal during the state track and field championships last month.

'I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So I guess I expected to get that reciprocated,' Garcia, formerly Antonio Brown, told the Spokesman. 'I didn't get that.'

She told the outlet that the jeers she received at the championship meet in Tacoma, Washington last were 'a bit more severe' than usual, and one voice from the crowd even yelled: 'She's not a girl!' as Garcia went to collect her medal.

The crowd's reaction, Garcia said was no surprise, but she was 'somewhat hurt' by the chilliness from her peers, for whom she cheered during and after their races.

As she walked up to the podium to pick up her gold, the crowd was silent and her peers would not acknowledge her as they stood with hands clasped behind their backs.

Though she admits there are 'not easy answers,' when it comes to the question of biological men competing against women, she said she wishes those with complaints would refrain from yelling at her.

'I’m just a teenager. It’s one thing if you want to advocate for whatever, but your message becomes deflated when you start insulting. As soon as you start harassing transgender people, then I think your message starts to fall apart.

'At the very least, give us respect, because I think the best thing anyone can do is, even if you don’t understand why we’re transgender, the very least is to be nice to us. Kindness goes a long way,' she said.

At the final race of the season Garcia finished with a time of 55.75 - a full second ahead of the first biologically female runner.

It's the latest in a series of wins for Garcia who appears to be performing far better than when she competed on the boy's team.

Last month she finished 13th in a field of 152 girls at the Washington State 2A Championships following a cross country meet.

But last year, Garcia could only manage 164th out of 172 in the boy's 5000m at a regional championship held in the fall.

Why don't they just compete against males dressed as women and they they can be their true authentic selves.

I will answer myself because it is not about that it is about beating biological females. Even transformers can be misogynistic subconsciously.

To gain respect you must be respectful yourself.

You, a biological male, competing and winning against biological females is not being respectful to biological females. No matter what you think, your body is still MALE.

 

[BuffettGirl]

How respectful is it of you, 'Ms.' Garcia to use your physical advantages as a male to destroy the competition in a female race/event? Hush with your damn mouth. You are the very soul of disrespect. Don't believe me? FOLLOW THE SCIENCE...

'I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So I guess I expected to get that reciprocated,' Garcia, formerly Antonio Brown, told the Spokesman. 'I didn't get that.'

This dude is full of nonsense, and I don't have enough respect for this creep to debate his ideas. I will instead post this, pun intended, jock-ular remark:

*with an unexpectedly deep voice*

"I'm a woman now. Where the sports at?"

 

[Busy Bee]

Are there any female to male trans persons who compete in male sporting events? Any that choose to go to a male prison?

 

[Blunderbuss Firozabad]

Applause isn't anyone's right to receive.
Her teammates and community are expressing their opinion in a non-hateful, non-violent but direct way.
You express yourself, they express themselves.

If she was ignored in class when she raised her hand, that would be altogether different.

Sportsmanship:
Fair and generous behavior or treatment of others, especially in a sports contest.

Is Garcia being fair to her teammates or other competitors?
She's affecting them negatively in an unfair way.

 

[Granmaw]

Can't (literally) run with the big boys so he claims to be transgender so he can feel like a winner.

Opinion Editorial:

Trans teens shouldn’t expect peers to cheer them — instead, blame adult activists for lying to them​

Garcia’s disbelief is illustrative of the trans movement’s arrogance. After nearly a decade of being told to cede fairness for inclusion of biological males, females are fed up. They don’t owe a trans runner their awards or their gushing love and approval.

Many female athletes have been scared into going along with these rules or paying the price: Be called a bigot and have future employment threatened. Remember at UPenn, when women on the swim team were silenced over trans swimmer Lia Thomas? If they had an issue, they were told, they should seek therapy.

Or the five middle school girls in West Virginia who bravely protested a biological boy competing in their track and field event? They were suspended.

Chicks are simply sick of cheering on sabotage on the playing field. There are countless other examples of girls taking this raw deal.

And yet, I have sympathy for Garcia.

“I’m just a teenager. I wish people would remember that” Garcia said.

This is a 16-year-old who was lied to by adults.

Garcia has been fed a narrative and sold a bill of goods by adults who affirmed, affirmed, affirmed at every turn.

Activists and doctors — and some activist doctors — have repeatedly reassured young boys that they can magically become a girl: Take a pill, or simply check another gender box on a form, and the world is your oyster.

They’re told they will be accepted into all female spaces — embraced and ushered into this bizarre world of “girlhood” invented by Dylan Mulvaney. They’ll be celebrated! Get a parade!

And furthermore, they are promised, they’ll be able to participate in girls' sports and be enthusiastically cheered on when they inevitably win because of their physical advantage.

Trans teens shouldn’t expect peers to cheer them — instead, blame adult activists for lying to them

Sportsmanship is a two-way street — but blame adult activists for making teen trans athletes think they deserve kudos from the girls they rob of opportunity.
