Biological Male Sues Princeton After Exclusion From Women’s Track

A male athlete who identifies as female has filed a lawsuit against Princeton University after being rightfully removed from competing in a women’s track event. Sadie Schreiner’s attempt to participate in women’s sports raises serious concerns about fairness and safety for female athletes.
Schreiner, who previously competed on a men’s collegiate track team, sought to enter a women’s race at Princeton’s Larry Ellis Invitational. When officials excluded Schreiner from the event, it was due to clear and justified policies aimed at preserving the integrity of women’s sports.
The lawsuit alleges discrimination based on gender identity, but the reality is that biological differences between males and females create an uneven playing field that cannot be ignored. Allowing male-bodied athletes to compete in women’s sports not only disadvantages female competitors but also threatens the progress made toward equality and opportunity in athletics.
Claims that Schreiner was subjected to a “humiliating, dehumanising” experience ignore the fact that sports must be governed by fair rules, not feelings or political agendas. Princeton and the event organisers acted within their rights to maintain a level competition environment.
This lawsuit is part of a broader push to dismantle women’s sports protections under the guise of inclusion. Policies and executive orders supporting male participation in female athletics have sparked significant backlash because they ignore science and compromise women’s chances to compete on equal footing.
Recent controversies, such as swimmer Lia Thomas’ dominance in women’s swimming after competing on men’s teams, highlight why safeguards are necessary. Even federal courts and the Supreme Court are grappling with these issues because the stakes for female athletes are real.
Female athletes and advocates are speaking out against these moves, emphasising that fairness and safety must come first. The injury suffered by volleyball player Payton McNabb during competition against a male-bodied athlete competing as a woman underscores the physical risks involved.
Ultimately, Schreiner’s lawsuit threatens to erode the foundation of women’s sports, prioritising identity politics over biological reality and fair competition.
