Trans runner beat 14K women in London Marathon after running NYC as a man

Olympic marathoner Mara Yamauchi called it “wrong and unfair” that Glenique Frank could skirt new rules to compete in the female category.

A transgender runner is under fire for crediting “girl power” for beating nearly 14,000 others in the female category of the London Marathon — just months after racing in New York as a man.

So he ran the NYC marathon in November as a man, then runs a marathon in the UK as a woman and beats out 14K real women. Is this fair?

Did the person in question break any rules?

If the NY Post article is to be believed and doesn't contain lies of omission, this appears to be an issue caused by the governing body.

Fair? Is that a word RWers are allowed to use?

Looks like agitprop.

Assuming it isn’t performance art or anti-trans agitprop (and I don’t), someone coming in 11,456th instead of 11,455th isn’t really all that grave an injustice.

Youre saying it didnt happen? Please show a link that disproves it.

Your kind hates women. We get it.

She didn't get any prize and was running for charity. What level of depraved human do you have to be to be mad at a trans woman simply running in a marathon for charity? This wasn't the Olympics or anything...

That said, we should all see how unfair placing men in women's sports is.

Did he appear atop the women finishers or not?
Good God.

Maybe a real women should have had that honor?

 

[Bok Tuklo]

I wonder where the furry finished. The race, I mean.

Is English your first language? You so often come up with different interpretations of what I type that I just have to ask if you understand the language.

Or are you purposely trolling?

Yeah....he's a man running in a women's category.

Couldn't have accomplished the same thing running in his actual appropriate category?

Of course not. Men aren't women and should not be competing against biological women.

Well, she did. For years. Before she transitioned. If she's running in a non-professional environment and she is doing it because she wants to for charity I really cannot imagine taking issue with this. Like she is volunteering to do this to raise money?

No, he didn't. In bathrooms? Sure, we can pretend they are what they are not. In Reality Land where it actually matters, like sports? No.

 

[mrjurrs]

So?

To begin with, no one that hasn't run a marathon should comment on this.

Oops, that would include me.

 

[Phys251]

This may be the dumbest transphobic article yet.

This trans woman not win the London marathon, but she did not finish dead last among the tens of thousands of runners. But OMG THERE'S A TRANS PERSON IN THE RACE

Remind me again how the transphobes are NOT trying to erase trans people from society?

But somehow if you're a man dressing up like a woman you're not in costume?

Why do you care about a marathon in London?
