school policy that allows transgender athletes to compete based on their gender identity-- rather than their biological sex.
Mitchell says she was the fastest girl in Connecticut. But after state athletics allowed transgender athletes to compete in girl’s track and field in 2017, she lost more than 20 races and several prestigious awards.
