In Connecticut's Cromwell High School, a 15-year-old boy with a mustache is crushing female competitors in track and field, to the great dismay of the girls who have spent many intense days training hard.

This doesn't seem fair, does it?

Well, it does in the left's brave new world of fundamental transformation.

The boy, you see, calls himself a girl. That's his self-proclaimed gender identity. And all's fair in the bizarre universe of modern-day LGBTQ liberalism.

The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference permits students and their schools to decide which teams they can join. The conference is abiding by state and federal laws mandating that students have the ability to compete on sports teams that accord with their public gender identity.

And Andraya Yearwood, a 15-year-old biological boy, identifies (at least for now) as a girl. And get this, sports fans: He's only a freshman. He could easily dominate the girls' meets for four years.

Too bad, ladies. You've come a long way, but liberalism's new world is erecting some brand-new obstacles to your progress.

The (real) girl who finished second to Andraya, a junior named Kate Hall, was tearful over her loss. It's frustrating, Hall said. But that's just the way it is now. I can't really say what I want to say, but there's not much I can do about it.

No, there's not. Kate doesn't want to be denounced as a hater, as an intolerant bigot toward LGBTQ persons.

Ditto for Hall's coach, Ben Bowne, who's no doubt terrified about saying anything that would bring him the enmity of nature's redefiners. The coach lamely told the Hartford Courant: Kate was emotional. She works really hard. She's a very competitive athlete. She hates losing to anybody.

As for the father of the transgender girl, he's fully on board the LGBTQ-liberal train. He apparently has been sufficiently indoctrinated into the modern progressive worldview and thus is tolerating no objections. He told the Hartford newspaper: If someone says, Why is your daughter running with the girls?' I say because she's my daughter, much like the reason your daughter is running with the girls. The dad barks: She's running exactly where she should be running.

The dad, of course, is merely mimicking the prevailing progressive zeitgeist. Note how he cleverly uses all the right liberal language to silence any critics who dare suggest this was an unfair race biased toward his daughter.

And good for him. The well-coached dad simply is taking a page from the bible of modern liberalism, The New York Times, which, in a breathtakingly hilarious February editorial titled Welcoming Transgender Boy Scouts, authoritatively stated: The Boy Scouts are recognizing transgender boys for what they genuinely are: boys.

So, liberals, if your daughters lose their track meets, or swim meets, or tennis tournaments, or golf tournaments, or whatever other sporting events to inherently stronger biological boys declaring themselves girls and perhaps lose scholarships in the process then suck it up and take one for the liberal team.

You've created this monster. And now you can live with it.
