Trans teen Maelle Jacques, who was born a male and previously won a girl's high jump state championship , said she didn't join female sports to win outright.
A transgender high school athlete addressed a New Hampshire state hearing on banning trans girls from competing.
The 16 year-old did so despite hammering the competition during high jump tournaments, as critics insist trans girls who've gone through male puberty retain considerable biological advantages over biological females. Her testimony continued: 'Playing soccer since the age of three, when I began my transition in the sixth grade my school welcomed me onto the girls team.
In February, she won the girls' high jump at the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 2 state indoor track and field championship. According to the Track & Field Results Reporting System, Jacques has competed in seven meets this year, earning six first-place finishes for the high jump.
'And why don't the parents of the girls stand up and say 'no' for their daughters? This country is full of failing, gutless mothers and fathers.' A similar bill, known as HB 1205, is still alive however after it was passed by the House in March but has not yet been heard before the Senate.
