Chelsea Mitchell, the self-professed "fastest girl in Connecticut" wound up losing more than 20 races in High School when Connecticut state law allowed mediocre male runners to compete against girls if those boys decided they identified as girls. Mitchell is suing the state to get the law changed to allow other female athletes the opportunity to perform on a level playing field.

The lawsuit was filed in 2020. It's getting revisited thanks to a new interview with Mitchell from the New York Post. As an example of how much more ridiculous the issue has gotten, in three years since we now have 27-year-old "women" stealing opportunities from 13-year-old girls and bragging about it.

It was during Mitchell's first statewide track meet as a high school sophomore that she discovered boys could compete against girls if those boys said they were girls. First and second place that year were taken by two of those girls who were born boys.

It was just obvious to everyone there that they had a huge advantage. Everyone could see it.

Chelsea ran in the 55-meter dash. The boys' record for it is 6.26. The girls' record is a 6.77, which wouldn't rank her in the top ten for boys'. Though if you need more of a visual aid, this is the thumbnail for our 2020 post when the lawsuit was first filed. The two ladies on the left did well that year.

Mitchell goes on to tell The Post:

Just two athletes took so many opportunities away from biological females. Even though there were only two of them, they took 15 state championships away from other girls — and there were 85 girls that were directly impacted from them being in the races.

Mitchell attempted to share her story in 2021 in USA Today. Activists forced the paper to edit her OpEd because she referred to males as "male."

Mitchell now wants to help other girls, especially now that the issue has gotten a lot worse. In 2020, this happened under a Republican president who should have taken the issue seriously. Now under Democrat president Joe Biden, they want to change the rules to allow MORE boys who claim to be girls to compete against girls. Effectively robbing these girls of so many opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through sports. The same opportunities WIll Thomas was afforded before he transitioned to Lia and went from being a mediocre male swimmer to an NCAA champion female swimmer.

A three-judge panel of the Second Circuit ruled against Mitchell's case in December. On June 6th, the argument is being reheard before the full Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. I'm afraid the words "New York City" gives away the eventual outcome. But maybe the three-judge panel will vote to be on the right side of history instead.
