A CONCORD BRIDGE MOMENT AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK MEET.

Sometimes, it's the embattled farmers standing and firing the shot heard 'round the world.

Sometimes, it's the girl shotputters refusing to put their shots.  West Virginia Girls 'Step-Out' Of Track & Field Meet To Protest Transgender Competitor.  A boy started crossing in grade school; he still had a male enough upper body strength to have a clear advantage in the weight events.  The girls at the meet had none of it.

Seven schools comprised the meet: Bridgeport, Heritage Christian, Notre Dame, South Harrison, Lincoln, Mountaineer (Clarksburg) and Washington Irving.

Several members of one of the girls' shot put teams "stepped in" then "stepped out" to protest the inclusion of a transgender athlete in the meet. The transgender athlete competes in both shot put and discus throwing.

When each of the Lincoln girls had her name called to compete, she stepped into the ring but instead of throwing the shot, she stepped down and refused to participate. They did the same for the discus event.

The crosser won those events.

Riley Gaines, host of the Gaines for Girls podcast on OutKick, shared her thoughts on the girls refusing to compete against a transgender opponent.

"It's a sad day when the middle school girls have to be the adults in the room. Conceding your event is so much easier said than done, but these girls have the tenacity and ability to stand their ground," Gaines said.

"I couldn't be more proud of their bravery and willingness to show their raw emotion. Girls and women have had enough."

There's nothing encouraging about the story; the girls will face opprobrium for taking a stand against Weimar America's experiments against reality, and the crosser is going to face a life of misery, so-called gender affirming care or not.
