Another outcry over transgender athletes is brewing, this time in Massachusetts over a student who helped Brookline High School win a girls’ state track-and-field championship after transitioning from male to female.

Brookline High School junior Chloe Barnes, who competed last year on the boys’ team, was part of the girls’ squad that won last month’s Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division I Indoor Track & Field Championship.

The teen wasn’t dominant, placing fourth in the 55-meter hurdles, but the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, or ICONS Women, pointed out that Barnes displaced a girl who would have otherwise earned a spot in the finals.

“Girls in Massachusetts are facing the injustice of being denied equal opportunity and fair treatment in sports,” said ICONS Women in a Thursday statement. “The inclusion of male athletes in women’s events excludes girls. Every girl at every stage of athletics, from the last spot on the relay to the podium, deserves access to fair competition and opportunity equal to that of her male counterparts.”

Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines posted a photo of the hurdlers at the girls’ medal ceremony and asked: “Massachusetts girls high school track and field state championship a few weeks ago. Can you guess which is the male?”

Rep. Mary Miller, Illinois Republican, tweeted: “This is unfair to our daughters, and parents must start speaking up!”

“Simply cheating!! This should not be allowed #SaveWomensSport,” tweeted three-time British Olympic hurdler Andy Turner.

Technically, Barnes wasn’t cheating. The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association’s gender policy states that a student “shall not be excluded from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the student’s bona fide gender identity.”

“The MIAA shall defer to the determination of the student and the student’s school regarding gender classification,” said the MIAA 2022-23 handbook.
