Statistics show that if college transgender runner Sadie Schreiner gets three big wins in the women’s Division III track and field meet, Schreiner would be in last place in the men’s division.
Schreiner, who ran from Rochester Institute of Technology on Saturday, won the 400 meters in 55.07 seconds and the 200 meters in 24.14 seconds, Fox News reported.
Schreiner also earned a new school record for the girls division in the 200-meter dash, which now stands as the Liberty League Conference girls record. This also breaks Schreiner’s previous record of 24.50 seconds set this season.
However, Fox added that either final would place Schreiner in last place in the men’s division during the weekend’s events.
Schreiner was born Camden Schreiner, New Jersey, and competed as a boy at Hillsboro High School. There he earned the 20th best time in the men’s 100-meter dash (11.72 seconds). But that time would have made him the leader of the women’s division.

Despite these results, Schreiner insists that despite his biology, he does not have an “automatic advantage.”
“Of all the hatred shared against me, ‘cheater’ is the most used word… In my eyes, the discussion about transgender inclusion in athletics shouldn’t even be a debate… ” Schreiner wrote on social media, Fox News. report. “The more research I do, the more this becomes clear. There’s a reason I’m only as fast as I was in middle school. The only variable that’s changed in nine years of running is It’s about taking medicine.”
“Even if Olympic research proves a disadvantage for trans athletes, it’s not enough,” he argued. “Policies are changing before the research is complete, and the only way to maintain knowledge in this process is to talk to several trans athletes who are competing, listen to their stories, and engage them in the conversation. The only way to make educated decisions for underrepresented athletes is to listen to them, not speak for them.”
But his declaration fails to take into account the growing body of research showing that transgender treatment is not enough to take away the advantages of male bodies over female bodies.
Most of the rules set by sports organizations govern testosterone levels, but testosterone is not the only difference between men and women that affects sports.
For example, researchers Emma N. Hilton and Tommy R. Lundberg published the following findings: sports medicine The researchers wrote, “Current evidence suggests that the biological advantages in terms of muscle mass and strength that male puberty confers and therefore that most transgender women enjoy are not currently available for transgender athletes. “This study shows that when testosterone is suppressed according to sports guidelines, the reduction is minimal.”
The study’s authors further state that regardless of testosterone levels, transgender “women” have a 10 to 50 percent advantage over women in sports.
A similar study by Timothy A Roberts, Joshua Smalley, and Dale Ahrendt British Journal of Sports Medicinefound that men who transition to women retain some of their physical advantages over women, despite all the medical stupidity of their “transition.”
Yet another study find It has been found that transgender women’s muscle strength, size, and composition remain strong for at least one year after gender-affirming treatment.
Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines blamed the NCAA for Schreiner’s success as a women’s track and field star.
“Today at the Liberty League Championship meet, Sadie Schreiner, a man competing against women, won the women’s 200m and 400m. He broke the women’s 400m record in the process,” Gaines wrote, adding, ” He would have finished last among the other male competitors by two seconds.”
