US transgender runner Cece Telferm, who previously competed against men, has become embroiled in controversy after winning the women’s 400m hurdles title.
Telfer took the NCAAwomen’s 400m hurdles title in dominant fashion at the end of May, setting a new personal best of 57.53 and finishing more than a second ahead of rival runners.
Some people were not too pleased, and naturally they felt compelled to share their opinion on Twitter.

I am so thinking this is not fairness or sporting. Create a new category.

Sports need another category—men , women, and transgender. The women are competing with a biological male, in this case. In other words, more muscle just by nature’s biology.

It should be a level playing field if you ask me, and when a person who was born a man competes against his opponents who were born female, that’s an unfair advantage.
Time to make a new category.
