Here is a prime example of why women in sports are being mentally crushed and now think that they will never win with such a disadvantages. Maine Coast Waldorf School high school sophomore Soren Stark-Chessa previously competed in the boys’ category for the school one year prior. In the 5k division, Stark-Chessa ranked approximately 172nd among males in the state. After transitioning, however, the runner shot up to 4th place in the girls’ division. That is wrong on many levels.
