A private university in New York celebrated a record-breaking finish at a recent women’s college track and field meet, achieved by a biologically male “transgender” runner.
On Wednesday, the RIT Track and Field team at the Rochester Institute of Technology celebrated the new record set in a Women’s 300m race last Friday by sophomore Sadie Schreiner on Instagram.
The transgender RIT Tiger runner beat third place Houghton University freshman Victoria “Tori” Brewster, and edged out the second place finisher, sophomore SUNY Genesco runner Brynn Mooney, by .86 seconds.

Schreiner’s victory was highlighted on social media by University of Kentucky NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, who speaks out against “transgender” individuals participating in women’s sports.

Social media users sounded off on the male runner’s domination over his female competitors and accused RIT of attempting to “erase women.”
Making a mockery of women’s sports. Women will have to spend years getting these men’s times stripped. The women who won will eventually be acknowledged in record books but will never get back the stolen experience of standing atop the podium.

If my Alma Mater allowed a man to break my records I would be making the biggest stink ever. Whose record did he break and what does she have to say? Athletes need to push back!

@RITtigers Why did you allow a man to compete in the women’s race?! You are misogynists and ought to lose all of your funding for violating the Title IX rights of women.

Gaines testified before the House Oversight Committee last Tuesday, addressing how allowing males who identify as “transgender” to play against biological females violates Title IX.

The issue of men dominating women’s sports was recently satirized in a Daily Wire-produced movie titled, “Lady Ballers.”
