Transgender Athlete Victory Sparks Outrage, OSAA Allegedly Silences Concerns
Clear Facts
- The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) has been alleged to threaten girls who speak out against trans athletes with a ban.
- Aayden Gallagher, a transgender athlete, recently achieved victory in a high school track event, which ignited controversy.
- Parents and athletes are apprehensive about expressing their concerns due to potential backlash from the OSAA.
The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA), an organization that is responsible for supervising school athletics in Oregon, is reportedly threatening to penalize female athletes who voice their concerns over transgender participants in sports. This issue was highlighted following a high school track event victory by Aayden Gallagher, a transgender athlete.
“Aayden Gallagher, a high school sophomore, narrowly won over a female runner in the 200-meter dash in the Oregon School Activities Association Track & Field State Championships,” reported a media outlet. Gallagher’s victory garnered considerable criticism, with many considering it an unfair win.
An anonymous mother, whose daughter competed against Gallagher, claims that the OSAA will ban girls if they publicly discuss the issue. She stated, “My daughter is in her senior year, and she has to compete with Aayden, who just won first place at State and took spots from our girls. He doesn’t deserve it. He needs to participate with the men. I don’t care if he’s transgender. You can have your own opinion and do what you want to do, but you have no right to take away from these girls.”
The possibility of facing consequences from the OSAA has apparently made many parents hesitant to express their views. “Yes, a lot of parents are afraid to speak out because there is an announcement from OSAA stating that if you discriminate or put anyone down for their gender, or if you speak negatively, your children can be disqualified from events, and parents can also be banned from all OSAA events,” the mother added.
She further highlighted the amount of effort her daughter has put into her sport, stating, “My daughter has been training since fifth or sixth grade to reach where she’s at. She trains year-round, and for him to take it, it just … It’s not okay.”
The mother believes that this situation signifies a broader issue of women’s rights being compromised. “Why is it that transgender and LGBTQ individuals have taken away so many rights for women that we have fought so hard for years, and here they are taking away from us in sports. They’re taking it from the girls who don’t deserve it,” she concluded.

I’ve been saying for a while now that girls should ALL refuse to play against boys. If every girl refuses to play, is the state going to have a transgender league?? They can’t all be banned. Sad that girls have to endure the stupidity of moron adults

That course of action would show the world just how ridiculous this transgender against female nonsense really is.

I have to agree with you. But all this started with these on line games men fighting women. Now It is common place. On the darker side? I think that men do not want women in these sports. And maybe they could be right. I never under stood women boxer or wesler for that matter? But I am old school!

These trans athletes cannot compete against men because then they will lose so they compete against females because thats the only way they can win!

The members of the OSAA should be banned! Each of them should be put on notice that their ridiculous rules allowing men/boys to compete against girls needs to be reversed – OR ELSE!!! Parents should agree to refuse any sports activities that girls have to compete against boys/men. If they have NO girls team/individuals, then the State Board of Education should step in and change the rules. This transgender crap has got to stop. These cowardly and mentally ill boys and men have NO right to deny a girls’ right to participate equally in their own sports activities.

Boys are Boys and Girls are Girls. OK to make believe you are the opposite sex than what you were given by God, but keep all this stuff 100% Private! Males should not compete against Females in sports designed for WOMEN! If you don’t like it, create a LBGTQF sports league and allow anyone who want to join, to participate against others with your same beliefs, but never allow any male to compete in any women’s sports, ever!

The inmates are indeed running the asylum. I wonder how lawsuits will pan out? Federal courts and not state. State courts can ignore constitutional rights.

If these schools can’t tell the difference between a vagina and a penis, they should all be kicked out. Males have more testosterone consequently, they are able to do more things than their female counterparts.

Men are men and women are women. The only time they should compete in the same event is in couples dancing.
Good Luck

What ever sport it it is girls just do not play, if they let Trans . play. Then ALL girls should refuse to play . All Trans should have their own sport games, thay can all play together but only Trans. OSAA should get new Board members or Close the school.

The OSAA should be taken to task by civil suit in a court of law for the infringement on a constitutional basis!!! And it sounds like a direct threat to female athletes for speaking out against this crystal clear injustice!!!

You can make an impact by uniting all female (from birth) to boycott all events in the future. In the USA. Your voices WILl be National news and will cause other women athletes to form a coalition to stop this travesty. Only ones left to compete are few in number and events will eventually stop due to lack of participation. 😎 Take the Giant step for Women’s sports.

How about considering a third group so they can compete among themselves without causing havoc and damages to the rest of folks?
1) Men
2) Women
3) Transgender

It seems to me that parents and the athletes need to grow a backbone. If all the girls refuse to compete, then it would seem that the OSAA would not have a competition. Of course that would require both parents and athletes to stand their ground! Don’t complain, do Something!

I agree with you. If ALL girls and their parents unite and refuse to participate in any competition that puts them against a MAN who THINKS HE is a woman, then the amount of revenue lost by the schools will eventually change their way of thinking. I think the girls should show up and just refuse to compete if a transgender MAN is competing in the same event. This is what it will take to stop this madness. Money talks. if the schools lose money, they will rethink their error.

Time to use the laws and constitution guaranteeing free speech and sue the hell out of this organization AND its INDIVIDUAL members personally. They will think twice about threatening the free speech and right of women/girls if they have to defend their policies, comments and actions in law suits where they will be required to pay if they lose. How about a little lawfare for the good of our women and citizens of our country.

A transgender is someone that has both a dick and a cunt which was a defect at birth. Not a single man that is pretending to be a woman has a cunt and therefore proves he is a man period!!! So stop calling these men transgender because they are not, they are men and they have no buisness in womens sports except to watch!!!

It doesn’t surprise me that this occurred in Oregon, another left coast fascist State. I agree with the comments that speak to boycotting the OSAA — if participation dwindles, so too will the money. There is heartening news of a number of states that are standing up for natural born women by drafting legislation prohibiting transgender participation in women’s events. Quite frankly, this idiocracy basically boils down to women’s rights once again being overruled by the demands of a relatively small subset of men, regardless of who or what these men claim to perceive themselves as. If you weren’t born with two X chromosomes, all the dresses, makeup, hormones and surgery in the world aren’t going to change that. Period.

You MUST start at the voting booth. Get all those spineless pariahs outof office then you can have some control over the school systems.

Instead of being concerned about your daughters being disqualified for athletic events if they speak out about competing with men, There is an easy solution to all of this and that is, every female in school simply walks away from these events..
You talk about bringing attention to this matter you might get the attention of the entire country.. 😳

You’d have to be a WOKE DEMOCRAT to actually believe that men and women should compete in physical sports as equals. This is stupidity on the Joe Biden level, and the reason our once-great country is a dumpster fire and the laughing stock of the world. November, please get here ASAP

Remember the days when medals were taken away for steroid and hormone doping? The East German women looked like men and everyone thought it was unfair! We used drug tests to take their medals away. Now we have actual men and they are saying it is unfair to discriminate against them??? The “real” world facts need to prevail. Women’s sports were created because of biological reality not who you are sleeping with or what fantasies you are playing out in your head. We can debate identity in other aspects of life but Women’s sports are set up because of the physical realities of the world.
