The Oregon HS dude got 2nd overall in both the girls' 200M and 400M at a meet with about 20 high schools competing
. His times would have placed him 61st in the boys' 200M and 46th in the boys' 400M.
If there had been a couple more mediocre boys who suddenly decided they felt like girls, then they easily could have swept the top three places in both events.
I'm sure that this matters to the girls in those events, their friends, their families and
everyone who is not a true believer in trans ideology.
So I do not buy the argument of "Oh, what's the big deal, it's just one runner."
Also, there have been other cases besides Semenya of males winning significant championships in women's events. For example, in 2019 a male from Franklin Pierce College won the women's 400M Hurdles at the NCAA Division II Track and Field championships. He was prevented from trying to qualify for the 2021 U.S. Olympic team.
