Trans Supremacy: 11th-Place Irish Dancing Competitor Switches to Girls’ Event, Wins Top Prize, Heads to World ChampionshipNeil Munro 8 Dec 2023
An American boy who says he is a “transgender” girl has won a slot in the Irish Dancing World Championships for girls after winning a girls’ competition he switched to when he lost competing against other boys.
“Parents think it’s outrageous,” one parent told the Daily Signal, which broke the story after the boy placed first in a regional dance competition for girls in the United States. “They are absolutely outraged. It’s absolutely ridiculous, just like in any other sport …The feeling is one of fundamental unfairness,” this parent added. “And then obviously the frustration and resentment that goes along with that.”
American parents are protesting the decision after the boy placed first in the under-14 south region competitions that took place in Dallas, Texas, according to the Daily Signal.
The first-place win comes after the boy had placed 11th when he competed as a boy against other boys in April at the Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG) World Championships.
The organizers of the dance association are defending their decision to let boys take prizes and status from girls.
“I am aware that there is a great deal of upset … [with] policies that transgender Irish Dancers enter competitions that align with the gender identity of their everyday public life,” said a November 21 statement by dance association official P.J. McCafferty.
He added:
We advocate for every one of our dancers …We do our very best to be fair to everyone. This situation is not easy for anyone. Not everyone’s point of view or personal interests align. I am asking for your tolerance. You are expected to respect all the dancers.
