Aayden Gallagher, a transgender high school athlete, won the 400-meter race at the Portland Interscholastic League Championship, outpacing female competitors.
Gallagher's performance has ignited discussions on social media and among sports commentators about the physical advantages of transgender athletes in women's sports.
Critics argue that Gallagher's participation in female events undermines the integrity of women's sports, while supporters advocate for inclusivity based on gender identity.
