Transgender athlete Sadie Schreiner is suing Princeton University. The school allegedly disallowed the runner from a women’s race on May 3.
Schreiner’s lawsuit claims he attempted to compete in the 200-metre event at the Larry Ellis Invitational, which is apparently not associated with Princeton. The suit alleges officials told Schreiner that he could not compete moments before the race started.
Schreiner appears to enjoy the negative attention that he is bringing upon himself over social media. The vast majority of comments on his social media posts are against his participation in women’s events.
Schreiner alleges that a track official told him, “I do not want to assume, but you are transgender.”
The athlete alleges the university violated the New Jersey state law against discrimination. The state considers “gender identity or expression” a protected status.
Schreiner had done this sort of thing in the past. Once competing for the Rochester Institute of Technology’s (RIT) women’s track and field team. He gained national attention for bettering women.
Schreiner was ruled ineligible to compete for RIT after the NCAA revised its gender eligibility policy on February 6. The change came one day after President Donald Trump signed the “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order. It is the only act to date of value from the disgraced POTUS.
“We continue to follow the NCAA participation policy for transgender student-athletes following the Trump administration’s executive order. Sadie is not participating in the next meet,” the statement read.
Schreiner proceeded to compete in the women’s 400m and 200m sprints. He won both on March 1 at the USATF Open Masters Championships. Apparently, the two other listed athletes did not bother competing in the 200m, for obvious reasons.
