Aayden Gallagher, a biological male, dominated the women's 400m heat at the Oregon Track & Field State Championships and will compete in the state championship final. This incident has sparked significant controversy and criticism, with many questioning the fairness of allowing biological males to compete in women's sports. Riley Gaines and others have voiced their concerns about the threats faced by female athletes and their families for speaking out against this issue. Another incident involved Sammy Desavlo, an 8th-grade biological male, winning the women's 1600m race at the Junior Track Olympics in Cashmere, WA, with a time of 5:46:26, which would have placed him 10th in the men's division. Aster Jones, a fellow sophomore and track star, was beaten by Gallagher in a previous race. Critics argue that subpar males would be outperformed by 15-year-old boys, highlighting the biological differences. The debate over the inclusion of biological males in women's sports continues to intensify, with many calling for stricter regulations to ensure fair competition.
There are two equally serious problems here: 1. A boy was permitted to run against girls. 2. The girls and their parents went along with it. https://t.co/0rLAJqvETA
On Saturday, an 8th grade biological male took first place in the women's 1600m race at the Junior Track Olympics in Cashmere, WA. Sammy Desavlo finished with a time of 5:46:26a. He would have finished 10th place in the men's division. https://t.co/R80OZItqIp
I have been reporting on this story since it first hit social media. Many of these parents had no idea Aayden Gallagher was a boy until he hit the track. This is the last race he ran in where he beat fellow sophomore, and track star, Aster Jones. At this point people in the⦠https://t.co/MMbxj9L8FN
My son (middle school) ran track and field and with minimal training and little real coaching he would have put up numbers good enough to make the high school girls state championship meets (nowhere near boys though, but maybe in a few years). Just reality of biology. https://t.co/1qcJn3llsw
This is an event my daughter competes in at a high school level here in FL where males are forbidden to crossdress in order to steal girls championships. I checked mogo, and the subpar male who stole Asterβs victory would get absolutely bodied to several 15 year old boys. https://t.co/sIcZQhIUb3
Listen to the mother of a female runner in Oregon speak to the threats these girls + their families face if they even dare to speak out about the injustice of undeserving men stealing women's titles. This is despicable and unacceptable @OSAASports https://t.co/t5URauiATE

Riley Gaines describes the "lunacy" of biological men competing in women's sports. @Riley_Gaines_ @XAVIAERD https://t.co/KTkehRoMVp
Aayden Gallagher (male) dominates his heat of the women's 400m this morning at the Oregon Track & Field State Championships. He will run in the state championship final tomorrow. When will we see coaches and parents standing up to this mockery? https://t.co/jQ9QnWOUgv
