Ever heard of Brockport, NY? With a population just over 7,000, the answer is probably no. It's a scenic town bisected by the Erie Canal, about half an hour west of Rochester. On January 17, the "Rust Buster" track meet was held in Brockport.
One runner, Sadie Schreiner, set two records at the meet. The Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers' website reported on the impressive feat, but failed to mention that Sadie is a biological male.

On the men's side of the meet, Jack DeFeo, winner of the 400 meters, finished in 49.85 seconds. Schreiner finished the women's 400 in 55.91, more than six seconds slower than DeFeo. Schreiner would have been nowhere near the podium racing biological peers. But racing against women? Schreiner breezed to records in the 200 and 400 meter races.

The meet took place three days before Donald Trump took office for his second term. The Trump administration has been vocal on the subject of men participating in women's sports. Hours after being sworn in, Trump signed an executive order stating that all federal employees will recognize only two genders, and that the queering of gender over the past several years has created an "inchoate social concept" that has been "corrosive" and "unhealthy".
Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers. This is wrong. Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being. The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.
This unhealthy road is paved by an ongoing and purposeful attack against the ordinary and longstanding use and understanding of biological and scientific terms, replacing the immutable biological reality of sex with an internal, fluid, and subjective sense of self unmoored from biological facts. Invalidating the true and biological category of “woman” improperly transforms laws and policies designed to protect sex-based opportunities into laws and policies that undermine them, replacing longstanding, cherished legal rights and values with an identity-based, inchoate social concept.
As reported by the Daily Pennsylvanian, "A bill explicitly prohibiting the participation of individuals who were assigned a biological sex of male at birth in women’s sports programs also passed in the House and was received by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 15."
