Infuriating New Count Shows How Many Medals Trans Athletes Have Stolen From Women – RedState– redstate.com

EXCERPT:
Democrats and the left have picked transgender issues as one of the hills they are willing to die on, and for those who have daughters or who participate in women’s sports themselves, it may very well have some effect on the midterm election. It seems as if biological men playing in girls’ and women’s sports is a relatively new idea. Think again. Leftists have glommed onto something that has quite a history.
Everyone spent a week arguing over whether Sydney Sweeney set women back. Meanwhile, Massachusetts lets biological males fill girls’ volleyball rosters — all six spots on the court, on the lower net. @EllaFrei17, a 17-year-old middle blocker, breaks it down. #SaveGirlsSports pic.twitter.com/Sx4hAerjXn

On Tuesday, the conservative group Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) released a compilation of numbers that claim 2,293 transgender athletes have won medals in female sports in the U.S. The group gathered data from a website called “HeCheated.” The site tracks transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports in both amateur and professional sports categories. The records go back to the mid-80s; however, the exact count has not been verified. But more on just how far back this has been going on in a bit.
Not only is there a physical and mental cost to girls and women being cheated by biological males, but there is also a monetary cost. Transgender athletes have competed in over 14,301 sporting events and won more than $501,498 in professional prize money. One of the prime offenders, the state of California, had roughly 611 cases where a female finished second behind a biological male. CWALAC says that number is up from 2025. CWA president Penny Nance had this to say about the data:
“It is shockingly unfair for biological women to have to compete against trans-identifying men. Our research finding that trans-identifying males have stolen over 2,293 gold medals from women in the United States is an outrage. Biological men have distinct advantages over biological women. This reality not only puts women in harm’s way, but it eliminates opportunities for biological women to earn a living and win competitions. Congress must act to protect biological women.”
