Olympic Marathoner Trashes Trans-Identifying Male Over ‘Girl Power’ Speech At London Race

Olympic marathoner Mara Yamauchi didn’t hold back when it came to calling out a biologically male runner who identified as female and gave a “girl power” speech after finishing the London Marathon. Yamauchi, who represented Great Britain in the women’s marathon at the 2008 Olympics, accused Glen “Glenique” Frank of unfairly competing in the female division and causing thousands of biological women to have lower rankings. Frank finished in 6160th place and proudly waved a transgender pride flag during a post-race interview. Yamauchi took to Twitter to express her frustration, pointing out that recent decisions from top athletic organizations would bar biological post-puberty males from competing in women’s events, but the London Marathon had made an exception for those who had already registered in the women’s division. Yamauchi questioned how many more biological males would be grandfathered in and why the BBC interviewer didn’t challenge Frank on this issue. It’s time to #SaveWomensSports.
