(OutKick) A transgender track and field athlete by the name of CeCe Telfer won an NCAA title in the women’s division back in 2019, and is now looking to “take all the records” from biological women in the future. You, me, and everyone else are supposed to ignore this, despite how ridiculous it is for a biological man to boast about taking opportunities away from female athletes.
Telfer’s story is not unlike many other stories regarding transgender athletes. The Jamaican-born runner began their collegiate career at Franklin Pierce University in 2016 competing against men, but found no success. After coming out as transgender, Telfer was allowed to compete in the women’s division and eventually won an NCAA Division II title in the 400-meter hurdles in 2019.
Telfer got another taste of success against female competitors earlier this year by picking up wins in indoor track meets in the New England area and now has no plans of stopping.
“I look forward to indoor track, because 2024 indoors is going to be epic,” Telfer said in an interview with Them. “My dreams were taken away from me once again. So I plan on going back to New England, hitting up all the indoor competitions, and taking all the names, all the records, and everything.
“That doesn’t look like first all the time, that doesn’t look like second place, that doesn’t look like podium all the time, but the track meets that count will count. That’s what’s burning this fire in my heart and in my body. So it’s keeping me going to know that I can go to indoor competitions and still be the girl to talk about, period.”
