<p>The Washington Post ran a glowing profile of a trans-identifying male athlete on Thursday, framed around President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent order barring males from competing in women&#8217;s high school and collegiate sports, in an effort to prove that biological males have no advantage.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/04/03/trans-athlete-competes-with-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> began with trans-identifying Eliza Munshi preparing for the first track meet of the season at Falls Church, Virginia, debating the merits of one French-braid or two and applying glitter along curled eyelashes. Munshi, WaPo lamented, was forced to compete with the boys because of Trump&#8217;s order.</p>
<p>&#8220;She wasn’t going to let the president’s executive order stop her. So when it was finally her turn at the meet, Eliza stepped into the circle<b> </b>as part of the boys’ team. She wound up and let the discus fly,&#8221; the article read.</p>
<p>Munshi&#8217;s throws landed at 43 feet 2 inches, and 41 feet 4 inches, and 46 feet 10 inches — and the article was quick to point out just how far short they fell of the 74 foot, 6 inch average notched by the other males at the same meet. The author did not include any information about the average throws made by the girls&#8217; team.</p>
<p>&#8220;She didn’t think she had an advantage against the girls. She certainly wouldn’t have one over the boys, most of whom are bigger than she is,&#8221; the article continued, painting Munshi as a hero who voluntarily competed in the correct gender group — despite a personal disadvantage — because not doing so could result in the entire team facing disqualification. &#8220;In fact, she knew it would be harder. The boys’ discus weighs about 3.5 pounds, almost a pound heavier than that of the girls. The boys’ shot is 12 pounds, and the girls’ is about 8.&#8221;</p>
<p>Between the paragraphs fawning over Munshi and the broad support offered by family members and classmates alike, WaPo threw in another jab at those who oppose allowing males to play in girls&#8217; and women&#8217;s athletic divisions:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Yet, trans athletes are rare. In Virginia, only 31 athletes have petitioned to play since 2020. Twenty-eight were approved. But those supporting bans believe transgender girls have an unfair advantage over cisgender girls. And public support for that sentiment is growing. A 2022 <a class="js-itid-click" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/05/trans-poll-gop-politics-laws/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post-KFF poll</a> found that two-thirds of Americans agreed that trans girls should not be allowed to play girls’ high school sports.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>But while Munshi may indeed be an outlier, Falls Church High School&#8217;s own publicly available <a href="https://www.athletic.net/trackandfield/SchoolRecords.aspx?SchoolID=3712" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Track &amp; Field records</a> show a clear disparity between male and female athletes. In the shot put and discus events alone, the disparities begin with the fact that the males throw heavier weights — and end with the dramatic difference in the distances they are able to throw those weights.</p>
<p>Girls throw a 1kg discus (2.2 lbs), for example, and the top throws listed range from 57&#8242; 1&#8243; to 90&#8242; 9&#8243; — while the boys throw a 1.6kg discus (3.5 lbs) and the top throws range from 91&#8242; 11&#8243; to 149&#8242; 5&#8243;. In the shot put, girls throw 4 kg (8.8 lbs) for distances of 22&#8242; 2&#8243; to 30&#8242; 9.5&#8243; — while the boys can throw either 12 lbs (35&#8242; 7&#8243; to 50&#8242; 11.25&#8243;) or 16 lbs (39&#8242; 1&#8243; to 44&#8242; 5&#8243;).</p>
