A biological male swimmer who now identifies as a woman broke a record at Ramapo College of New Jersey over the weekend after competing on the men’s team for three years.
Meghan Cortez-Fields defeated her female opponents and took first place in the 100-yard butterfly at the Cougar Splash Invitational.
The transgender athlete also came in first place in the 200-yard individual medley and second place in the 200-yard butterfly.
The Ramapo swim team congratulated Cortez-Fields after the win for breaking the school’s record but later deleted the post after former college athlete and outspoken critic of males competing in female sports Riley Gaines posted on X.
“The Ramapo College Instagram account that posted the photo of the male swimmer has now deleted the post,” Gaines said.
“They always hate the public attention after being called out for their discrimination and mistreatment of women.”
“The incident at Ramapo College shouldn’t be a shock to anyone considering we’ve seen virtually the same story time and time again with no people in leadership positions willing to take a stand for women,” added Gaines.
From Fox News:
Cortez-Fields swam on Ramapo’s men's team for three years before moving to the women’s team this season as a senior. Last year, she told The Ramapo News she admired Lia Thomas, the trans University of Pennsylvania swimmer who won an NCAA Championship in 2022.
