A New York transgender college track athlete has been accused of bragging about beating biological females after she posted footage of herself annihilating fellow competitors while wearing faulty shoes.
Sadie Schreiner, who is on the girl’s roster at the Rochester Institute of Technology, shared a clip over the weekend that showed her storming to victory at a recent college track meet.
In the video, the trans runner can be seen surging ahead of her four fellow athletes as someone shouts “Go Sadie” in the background.
“Not the race I was looking for at all this week, my spikes nearly fell off on the turn and with a poor start my time wasn’t nearly what I wanted,” Schreiner posted alongside the video.
“The good news is that the season just started, and I’m going to leave everything on the track at nationals.”
Critics were quick to lash out, accusing the athlete of gloating about obliterating fellow competitors born biologically female.
“Proud of you for beating women who are a foot shorter and 60lbs lighter with a 2ft smaller stride and half the muscle mass. You didn’t look like you had it in you still,” one person commented.
“Really proud of you to push through,” another quipped.
“Love trans [people] but this hurts to watch, decent run but competing against biological females + potentially taking away a scholarship discredits their hard work and discounts your physical ability,” another person wrote.
“A separate division for trans athletes would make much more sense at the collegiate level given the prominence of trans athletes.”
