    Caitlyn Jenner responds as trans teen finishes 2nd in Meet of Champions race in California: 'THIS IS WRONG!!!'
    Athena Ryan's second-place finish caused backlash on social media

    Caitlyn Jenner was among those upset after a transgender teen finished in second place at a Meet of Champions girls race in California over the weekend.

    Athena Ryan finished in second place in the varsity girls 1,600-meter run finals on Saturday in the sectional Meet of Champions. Ryan of Sonoma Academy finished behind Hanne Thomsen of Montgomery High School and ahead of Ellie Buckley of Campolindo High School. Ryan will advance to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Track & Field Championships next week.

    Jenner spoke out about the teen’s finish.

    "As ‘somewhat’ of a track star myself, and a trans person, THIS IS WRONG!!! HELP ME PUSH BACK!" she replied on Twitter with a link to her political action committee, Fairness First.

    "And FYA trans ppl you are being used by the radical gender ideology cult as political pawns. That’s all you are to them," Jenner added.



    Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, won a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

    Ryan, a junior, appeared to be undeterred, finishing with a time of 4:55.91.

    "I wasn’t expecting that. I dropped like 17 seconds on my season’s best in the past two weeks," Ryan told MileSplit after the race. "After last weekend, I didn’t think I could run low 5s again. I was just coming here trying to break 5 – just glad I finished it out."

    Ryan finished sixth in the 1,600-meter preliminary race and 21st in the girls 800-meter preliminaries.

    Point taken by the governing body...

    Cycling’s governing body bars transgender females from women’s international events
    UCI said cyclists that transition after 'male puberty' will be barred

    So the UPenn female swimmers were told it was "non-negotiable" and they had to undress in front of a man.

    Ex-UPenn swimmer testifies before Congress on Lia Thomas experience; opens up about 2016 sexual assault
    Scanlan competed alongside Lia Thomas from 2021-2022

    "My teammates and I were forced to undress in the presence of Lia, a 6-foot-4 tall biological male, fully intact with male genitalia 18 times per week. Some girls opted to change in bathroom stalls, and others used the family bathroom to avoid this. When we tried to voice our concerns to the athletic department, we were told that Lia’s swimming and being in our locker room was a non-negotiable, and we were offered psychological services to attempt to re-educate us to become comfortable with the idea of undressing in front of a male."

    "To sum up the university's response, we the women were the problem, not the victims. We were expected to conform, to move over and shut up. Our feelings didn't matter."

    And...a fully intact male. Not transgender. Just a man playing dressup.
