Repite conmigo:
No es tu responsabilidad.
No es tu responsabilidad.
No es tu responsabilidad.
No es tu responsabilidad.
No es tu responsabilidad.
No es tu responsabilidad.
No arriesgues tu futuro y linaje por algo que no es tu responsabilidad.
I have been reporting on this story since it first hit social media. Many of these parents had no idea Aayden Gallagher was a boy until he hit the track. This is the last race he ran in where he beat fellow sophomore, and track star, Aster Jones.
At this point people in the audience had been informed these girls were running against a boy. A boy in their locker rooms. A boy cheered on by his coaches and enabled by officials and corrupt politicians. The audience had caught on here and cheered for Aster and booed the boy.
I’m angry at the adults for allowing this to happen. I don’t wish ill on this boy. People in his life are lying to him and encouraging this. His mother, his coaches. It’s a terrible thing to do. But they want him to feel special and they want to win. At the expense of girls.
The girls were threatened by the high school sports governing body OSAA against speaking out. Now they are being lectured on social media by adults to stand up to this when the adults won’t do anything themselves.
