Another outcry over transgender athletes is brewing, this time in Massachusetts over a student who helped Brookline High School win a girls' state track-and-field championship after transitioning from male to female.
Brookline High School junior Chloe Barnes, who competed last year on the boys’ team, was part of the girls’ squad that won last month’s Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division I Indoor Track & Field Championship.
“Girls in Massachusetts are facing the injustice of being denied equal opportunity and fair treatment in sports,” said ICONS Women in a Thursday statement. “The inclusion of male athletes in women’s events excludes girls. Every girl at every stage of athletics, from the last spot on the relay to the podium, deserves access to fair competition and opportunity equal to that of her male counterparts.
