- One of the fastest sprinters in NCAA women’s track is a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman.
- Franklin Pierce University runner CeCe Telfer competed on the men’s track team in early 2018 before switching to the women’s team.
- Telfer has dominated the NCAA Division II competition and led the women’s team into the top 25 for the first time ever.
A top-ranked runner in NCAA women’s track is dominating the competition and setting records one year after competing as a man at the same level.
Franklin Pierce University senior CeCe Telfer leads the NCAA’s Division II women’s division in the 55 meter dash and 55 meter hurdle events. Telfer led Franklin Pierce’s women’s track team into the top 25 rankings for the first time in program’s history, local newspaper The Keene Sentinel reported in December. The New Hampshire college is ranked 14th in DII.
“Senior CeCe Telfer (Lebanon, N.H.) won three Northeast-10 Conference titles on Sunday, to lead the Franklin Pierce University women’s track & field team and earn Most Outstanding Track Athlete honors at the NE10 Championships, hosted by American International College, on the campus of Smith College,” reads a Feb. 17 article the school’s athletic department posted.
Telfer broke the conference finals record at the meet and qualified for three different events at March’s NCAA championships, the article noted. (RELATED: Male Runners Dominate Girls’ High School Track, Female Runner Calls It ‘Demoralizing’)
Telfer is one of the fastest runners in NCAA women’s track and field at any division — not just at the DII level. Telfer’s best time in the 55 meter dash is tied with the third-fastest runner at the women’s DI level.
Telfer previously ran a variety of events for Franklin Pierce’s men’s team, during most of which time he went by the first name Craig, according to school records.
Telfer competed on Franklin Pierce’s men’s team as recently as January 2018, according to published meet results from the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont. By that point Telfer had started using the name CeCe, while still competing on the men’s team.
NCAA policy is that male athletes who identify as transgender can compete on women’s teams if they suppress their testosterone levels for a full calendar year. Otherwise, so-called mixed teams — which have both males and females — can compete in the men’s division, but not in the women’s division, according to NCAA rules.
The NCAA in 2011 published an explainer calling it “not well founded” to assume “that being born with a male body automatically gives a transgender woman an unfair advantage when competing against non-transgender women.”
“Transgender women display a great deal of physical variation, just as there is a great deal of natural variation in physical size and ability among non-transgender women and men. Many people may have a stereotype that all transgender women are unusually tall and have large bones and muscles. But that is not true,” the explainer states.
“A male-to-female transgender woman may be small and slight, even if she is not on hormone blockers or taking estrogen. It is important not to overgeneralize. The assumption that all male-bodied people are taller, stronger, and more highly skilled in a sport than all female-bodied people is not accurate,” it continues.
Telfer’s success in the women’s division, which was first highlighted by sports blog Turtleboy Sports, is the latest example of biological males who identify as transgender women piling up victories in women’s sports.
Two biologically male high schoolers in Connecticut, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, are dominating girls’ track in the state. The two teens are among the fastest high school sprinters in the country — though only in the girl’s division.
One of Miller’s and Yearwood’s female competitors, fellow junior Selina Soule, told the Associated Press that it was unfair to force female high schoolers to compete against male athletes.
“We all know the outcome of the race before it even starts; it’s demoralizing,” Soule said. “I fully support and am happy for these athletes for being true to themselves. They should have the right to express themselves in school, but athletics have always had extra rules to keep the competition fair,” she added.
One of the top scorers for Australia’s women’s handball team is Hannah Mouncey, who played for the Australian men’s handball team before transitioning. Mouncey played women’s Australian rules football between transitioning and switching to women’s handball.
Mouncey was banned from the women’s division of the Australian Football League’s women’s division in October 2017 before receiving approval to play in February 2018.
Mouncey abandoned the sport for women’s handball in September 2018, a month after the football league announced tighter restrictions on testosterone levels.
Rachel McKinnon, a biologically male college professor who identifies as a transgender woman, won a women’s cycling world championship in October. McKinnon won the women’s sprint 35-39 age bracket at the 2018 UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles.
McKinnon in January 2018 was quoted in USA Today arguing against requiring biological males to suppress testosterone as a requirement for competing against women.
“We cannot have a woman legally recognized as a trans woman in society, and not be recognized that way in sports,” McKinnon told USA Today. “Focusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant because this is a rights issue. We shouldn’t be worried about trans people taking over the Olympics. We should be worried about their fairness and human rights instead.”
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar called for an investigation into USA Powerlifting in January after the athletic association announced that male lifters who identify as transgender women aren’t allowed to compete as women.
Omar called it a “myth” that men who identify as transgender women have a “direct competitive advantage” in a Jan. 31 letter she sent to USA Powerlifting on behalf of Jaycee Cooper, a male powerlifter in Omar’s district who identifies as a transgender woman.
Omar copied Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on the letter, “with a recommendation that he investigate this discriminatory behavior.”
Ellison said his office didn’t have the jurisdiction to investigate USA Powerlifting, but recommended that Cooper “file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.”

I identify as a millionaire, where do I sign up for the cash? John
Question is: will anyone want to identify as a Kneegrow to get their reparations?
All you have to do is change the ‘spec’. Instead of Male / Female – change it to: a competition for those who are XY, and another competition for those who are genetically XX chromosome. I think that would work. No pronouns – just selection by genetics.
Sounds discriminatory. I can’t help what genetics I was born with. LOL.
Do you realize that there are also xyy and xyyy and xxy and xxxy and other than these extra bits of bad data they are ” men ” and ” women ” ?
No really it’s a thing.
So which one are you?

XX-ZIP, I think.
Talk about the chickens coming home to roost. I love it. The transgender advocates vs. the feminists with Title IX as the prize.
When the progressives start eating each other it is time to get the popcorn.
When you practice tribal politics, the tribe is never small enough.
How come women aren’t flocking into mens sports so they can take last place and get flattened?
It’s a simple cure: If you have a dick you can’t play sports with the girls-or be the 1st lady.
Barack was the ‘First Lady POTUS’.
That’s no lady, that’s my POTUS.
Its about genetics and the impact the Y chromosome has on muscle development, skeletal development, etc. Genital mutilation surgery doesn’t change any of that. Please do no be flippant with comments like this. All it will do is encourage more mentally ill men to destroy themselves permanently, before their mental health issues can be addressed, and will do NOTHING to alter the number of men, pretending to be women, who will be destroying the future of women’s sports for girls and young women.
So what? Fuck em.
Repeat after me: Never interrupt your enemies while they are making a mistake.
Yep. All the lawsuits that women won in Federal Courts to be able to join the police force, become firefighters, and be assigned to military combat units based on the argument that they are “equal in every way” to males is now biting them. Let there be no seperate men’s and women’s sports. It’s discriminatory.
There was a recent court decision determining that men only draft registration is unconstitutional. That would mean women need to sign up for the draft.
Robert (QSLV)
But do they have to do it in NH? Embarrassing.
This stuff is just too funny. Women won’t even attempt to protect themselves from this type of ridiculous nonsense. Insanity Reigns.
Who made you king, anon?
Do I explain my joke or just move on?
Again, ONLY WOMEN can fix this issue. Nobody cares what men think about it, as we are not the one’s whose rights are being violated. This impacts them, their daughters, their sisters, etc. One might just as well consider women’s sports DEAD if there is not a huge and violent backlash within the next year.
A practical solution would be to have one team that selects the best players regardless of gender, select the best man, woman or ? …no more will there be a men/boys or women/girls team..just a team , like the new Scouts. Males can then go back to old school , playing pick-up sandlot games without coaches or screaming parents, kids know who the best players are, with those getting picked last thankful that though they were picked last—their still on a team.
Nope, the women won’t fix it. The feminists are caught in their own trap. HSF’s advice to let them keep making mistakes is very wise.
liberty,
if women’s sports have to be destroyed 4 equality,so be it–
the feminists & women who support the feminists,which add up to a majority of women,were/are perfectly willing to destroy men’s sport over equality,weren’t they?
“Telfer’s best time in the 55 meter dash is tied with the THIRD FASTEST runner at the women’s DI level.”
Man competes against girls ……………… still finishes in third place!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
The madness will only end when the actual women in these sporting events boycott all of them.
Psyscho.
Have y’all seen how the LBGTQPIBN Lobby has pilloried Martina Navratilova for saying that having “trans-women” compete as female is plainly unfair. They have nearly disowned her for telling the truth. Sound familiar?
HSF is right: “Never interrupt your enemies while they are making a mistake.”
I’m as old as the hills but identify as a 25-year-old male. How come under-30 females won’t go out with me?
profiling
I just have to accept in 2019 that biology had it all wrong and that the Earth is flat. That we are having these discussions is terrifying. After all, in order for the people to commit atrocities, you must first get them to believe in absurdities.
The atrocities can not be far away.
Prepare accordingly
How does a liberal woman live with the fact that the best woman is a man? When a man dresses as a woman the man gets woman of the year. How does that make a woman feel to know that the best woman is a man who acts like a woman? Guys who want to be women are insane but women who give their femininity over to men are doubly so.
Womens sports fucking suck anyway, so let the men play. You want all female boyscouts and equal rights, this idiocy is your punishment. Schaedenwhat?
Just have one team instead of men and womens.If the girls can’t make the team,too bad. Maybe reality will start to matter again.
Need to sue. The results of the events speak for themselves.

Who’s the adult in the room here. Haven’t any of u bitches heard the word ‘no’, fuck you, you can’t play!
Just wait for the all trans-inferior women’s college football league. What women remain will get ‘laid out’ and stone cold. Does Title IX include manslaughter, oops, translaughter on a field in the open in front of fans?
‘Translaughter,” LOL.
a few weeks back ocasio-cortez said she understands her cis privilege because she has never had to struggle w/being gay or tran–
You started it mother fucker, now live with it
