Congratulations, California. You've finally solved sexism — by letting a boy beat every girl on the track and calling it progress. A biological male just swept girls' track events in a California competition, and the results weren't even close. We're talking podium spots ripped away from girls who actually trained for this.
But hey, at least we're being "inclusive," right?
Let's talk numbers, because the numbers are where this farce really shines. In the case of Becky Pepper-Jackson, a transgender-identifying sophomore at Bridgeport High School, the shot put result was 38 feet, 11.75 inches. The nearest female competitor, Paislee Babiczuk from John Marshall High School, threw 36 feet, 11 inches. That's a gap of more than two feet. In shot put, two feet isn't a close call. It's a blowout. Pepper-Jackson walked away with the Class AAA state title while the actual girls got to learn a hard lesson about what "fairness" means in 2026.
And this isn't a one-off glitch in the system. According to RedState, 9 boys are now competing in girls' track and field events. Of those 9, five of them — that's 55% — won conference championships. In a normal world, the expected rate for any single athlete to win a conference title is about 4.7%, spread across 17 main events with 6 to 12 teams per conference. So boys are winning at roughly twelve times the expected rate. Shocking absolutely no one who passed seventh-grade biology.
West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey put it plainly. "As a high school sophomore, Pepper-Jackson is not finishing 'near the back of the pack' but is instead defeating every — or nearly every — female in the state in these events," McCuskey wrote, asking the message be circulated to members of the court. The case has wound its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, because apparently we need nine justices to confirm that boys are stronger than girls.
Meanwhile, ACLU attorney Joshua Block keeps pushing the narrative with a straight face, arguing that "if the evidence shows there are no relevant physiological differences between B.P.J. and other girls, then there's no basis to exclude her." No relevant physiological differences. Two feet of difference in the shot put. Pick one, Josh.
This is what happens when ideology overwrites biology. Every girl who trained through the offseason, who ran sprints until her legs burned, who showed up at 6 a.m. for practice — she gets to stand on the sideline and watch a boy collect her trophy. And if she complains? She's the bigot.
The left told us Title IX was sacred. They told us girls' sports were a civil rights triumph. Now they're the ones dismantling it, and they want applause for doing so. Every event. Every podium spot. Swept.
I'd say the girls never had a chance, but that's the whole point, isn't it?
