A biological male athlete stole first place in a recent girls’ high school track meet in Portland, Oregon. Going by the name of Lia Rose, the transgender was a prior competitor in the boys division with the name Zachary Rose. Rose was “victorious” in the high jump that took place at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays. Rose’s “winning” height was 4 feet, 8 inches, which “beat” the second-place competitor by just two inches. When under the name of Zachary while competing in the boys division, the biological male was absolutely dismal. In 2023 while up against JV boys, Rose finished in 11th place out of 11 athletes that were competing, putting up a score of 4 feet, 6 inches, per athletic.net.
On March 25, the Department of Education opened a Title IX investigation on the Portland (Oregon) Public Schools for allowing a trans-identifying male to compete in girls’ sports. Despite the attention from the federal government, Oregon seemingly has no intent on halting this madness anytime soon. According to conservative journalist David Medina, a trans-identifying male named Lia Rose (who used to be known as Zachary) competed in the Portland Interscholastic League women’s high jump event on Wednesday. Despite being born male, Rose was allowed to compete in the girls division and take first place in the event. Rose was representing Ida B. Wells High School, which is based in Portland. Rose was able to outjump the runner-up in the event by a full two inches. The transgender recorded a 4-foot 8-inch jump, while Addyson Skyles (of Leodis V. McDaniel High School) recorded a 4-foot 6-inch jump. Rose is a senior, and Skyles is a sophomore. Two other jumpers tied Skyles' mark but had slightly worse overall scores.
