🧵In light of the recent news on Eddie “Addie” Ruter, I think it’s pertinent to address the myth that male advantage goes away if males block their puberty.
Male and female bodies are fundamentally different. This is not simply due to differences in hormone levels. All of our growth and development is affected by our genetics, and males and females are equipped with an entirely different anatomy.
Brute strength is not the only factor in athletic performance, as evidenced by the fact that humans are able to throw much faster than gorillas and other apes, who out-muscle us by a mile. theconversation.com/how-humans-bec….
I have been told over and over by activists that boys who block their puberty are no different than an average girl.
Aside from their lack of every single female sex organ (and therefore female health conditions like menstruation and pregnancy that greatly affect physical and mental condition) and their possession of every single male sex organ along with male genetics and a male body that, in fact, make them different from an average girl in the same way that every other boy on earth is different from an average girl, let’s see how their athletic performances actually hold up to those of an average female athlete when they stunt their sexual development.
For reference, the average height of white males aged 20-39 in the United States is just under 5’10” while the average height of white females aged 20-39 is 5’4.”
In the United States, high school sports typically have three separate teams: Freshman, Junior Varsity (JV) and Varsity.
Freshman teams are for first-year students, JV teams are typically comprised of sophomores and some of the more talented freshman, and varsity spots are reserved for the best athletes in the school. This means that varsity teams are most often comprised of upperclassmen (juniors and seniors), a few sophomores, and in rare cases, very talented freshman.
While we cannot confirm whether or not these athletes have actually blocked their puberty, I’ll be listing them here based on the claims their parents and the media have made along with the age at which they started pretending to be girls.
First up: Eddie “Addie” Ruter – Basketball/Track and Field
Ruter is reportedly 6 feet 3 inches tall (some sources have him at 6-foot, but he certainly looks taller than that). He has been on the varsity team since freshman year, and has been a starter since at least his sophomore year when he was a key player in Foxboro’s state championship tournament run, achieving double-doubles in every game.
With Ruter leading the team in rebounds and sometimes scoring as many as 30 points in a game, Foxboro has been the undefeated conference champion and MIAA state champion two years in a row and are now going for a third.
Ruter is described as the “secret weapon” of the team and head coach Lisa Downs says she hasn’t seen a player like him in her 12 years as a coach.
He’s taken multiple honors including Hockomok League All-Star, HockomockSports Second-Team and All-Underclassmen Team, The Sun-Chronicle All-Star Team, and a Globe Honorable Mention.
Despite standing at 6-feet 2 inches tall, Mackenzie claims that he’s actually at a disadvantage compared to female athletes.
Even so, he was named North Island MVP in high school and was able to make a collegiate team where he received PACWEST All-Rookie Team, CCAA First All-Tournament Team, and VIU Rookie of the Year honors his first year of play.
His sophomore season, Mackenzie led his team in points, rebounds, blocks, free throws, and field goal percentage, and he led the entire PACWEST conference in points per minute.
His team won the PACWEST conference, and he led them to a CCAA national championship title with an overall 20-2 W-L record, taking the following awards along the way:
VIU Player of the Year
CCAA National Tournament MVP
CCAA First Team Tournament All-Star
CCAA All-Canadian
MVP of the PACWEST Provincial Tournament
PACWEST Player of the Year
PACWEST Female Athlete of the Year (an award that covers all sports)
This year he’s back with VIU and they currently have a 13-1 record while Mackenzie leads the team in points by almost 100 more than the next highest player.
Now standing at 6 feet tall, Drageset has been playing against girls several years older than himself since elementary school, earning the nickname “Kite” due to the way he “flew” around the court, already setting him apart from his actual female teammates and opponents.
Not only was Drageset a varsity starter as a freshman on the Buckley Sherman Oaks girls’ volleyball team, but he was also dubbed the Liberty League Conference MVP while leading his team to a conference championship title.
He took Liberty League MVP honors again the next year, this time taking his team all the way to the state championship finals, a first in school history, while also taking the CIF Division 5 Player of the Year honor, an award given to the best volleyball player in the state of California in Division 5.
In club volleyball, Drageset competed since elementary school with the Actyve Volleyball team always playing in higher age groups.
As a 16 year-old, he was placed on the 18s team where he led them to win the USAV Girl’s 18s Junior National Championship (Drageset was given USAV Girl’s All-Tournament Team honors). Then, that same year, he was moved down onto the Actyve 17s team where he led them to the USAV Girl’s 17s Junior National Championship title.
Drageset also took a second place finish in a TEQVOLY world tour stop, playing against seasoned pros. He was allegedly in line to receive one of just a few scholarships to play volleyball on the University of Washington women’s volleyball team.
5’10” Clark has also played with older girls as he was allegedly moved up a grade in school. He played for the North Georgia Aces club team since he was in middle school, leading them to several national championship tournament bids and at least 10 major tournament titles including a first place finish at the SRVA Regional Championships.
Clark was also active in the beach/grass volleyball scene where he took a bronze medal at the BCVA National Championships and a silver medal at the Grass Nationals tournament in 2021.
Playing for the Highlands High School girl’s team in North Carolina, Clark has been on varsity since at least sophomore year, where he led the team to a second place finish in the conference, after which Highlands were back-to-back conference champs his junior and senior season.
Clark made First-Team All-Conference all three years, and while stats are not available for his junior and senior seasons, he was leading the team in hitting percentage and total kills as a sophomore.
Clark also received national attention when he hit an opposing female player so hard in the head with a spike that she suffered severe head and neck injuries that resulted in partial paralysis, impaired vision, and long-term affects on her health. wlos.com/news/local/vol…
Here he slams 7 aces in a row. Average power for a female athlete I’m sure!
Lucas “Lizzy” Bidwell – Track and Field
At 5 feet, 10 inches tall, male athlete “Lizzy” Bidwell competes against girls instead of boys in track and field at Conard High School in Connecticut.
His first year in track (sophomore season) Bidwell placed third at the CIAC Class LL Girls State Championship meet and 11th at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor meet.
Sophomore year, he placed 3rd at the CIAC State Open Girls Indoor Track and Field Championships, but his jump of 5’9” at the New England High School Indoor Track and Field Championship not only gave him the gold medal, but put him at the third highest jump in the entire nation at the time.
While there are no official records publicly available, as the Connecticut girls indoor state record for the high jump is 5’10”, I think it’s safe to say Bidwell has both the Conard High School and SCC conference records.
In 2024, Bidwell placed 1st in the triple jump at the CIAC Class LL outdoor state championships. He has taken 9 top three medals at the state championships and finished in first place at least 35 times in two years.
This season, Bidwell is already undefeated in the high jump after four meets and recently hit a mark of 5’6” which moves him up from number 2 to number 1 in the state and tied for 19th in the entire nation. hecheated.org/trackandfield_…
Stratton “Becky” Pepper-Jackson – Track and Field, Cross Country
Pepper-Jackson was at the center of an ongoing lawsuit in West Virginia but was allowed to participate in girls’ cross country and later track and field anyway with the judge using the excuse that he deserved to because he’d put in so much effort to pretend to be a girl.
Pepper Jackson did not excel in cross country or track as a 5th and 6th grader (likely because that’s still when girls are close to boys in physical ability and Pepper-Jackson suffered a heart condition when he was younger which could have affected his endurance) but by 8th grade, he was already outclassing the girls in both size and strength.
His 8th grade year at Bridgeport Middle School, Pepper Jackson was undefeated in the shot put in all but the Harry Green Statewide Middle School Invitational where he placed second. He also never placed lower than third in the discus. His throw of 35’3” in the shot put him tied for first in the Bridgeport MS all-time best list.
Pepper-Jackson has also been accused of sexual harassment by female teammates, telling multiple girl’s to “suck my d*ck” and even telling one girl “I’m gonna stick my d*ck in your p*ssy.”
But per the judge, apparently threating to rape your "friends" with your penis is just typical girly behavior. reduxx.info/west-virginia-…
Vardeny was also at the center of a lawsuit, this one in Utah. Like Pepper-Jackson, Vardeny has been allowed by a judge to compete in girls’ swimming despite a law banning males from girls’ teams.
At 13, Vardeny claimed to be smaller than the other girls on his team (ignorant of the fact that that’s because boys hit their growth spurts later; girls are typically done growing at 13 while boys don’t start until around 15) and that even though he was smaller and still winning medals, it was simply because he “worked hard” to get them.
He tells girls, “If you’re scared of going up against other girls, then maybe you should practice harder.”
In club swimming, Vardeny has taken at least 11 top three medals at Utah Age Group State Championships including at least 1 gold medal.
In the 2023-2024 season, he was on the varsity swim team at Cottonwood High School as a freshman where he not only qualified for the Utah 4A State Championship meet, but won a silver medal with the 200 yard medley relay team and had an individual 12th place finish in the 100 yard fly.
Vardeny is still growing, so we have yet to see how tall he’ll get and how many more awards he’ll steal from female athletes. sltrib.com/news/2022/04/1…
According to his recruiting profile, “Sarah” Huckman is listed as being only 5 feet tall. While at first glance it may seem out of the ordinary, it isn’t so odd when you consider the fact that he was adopted with his identical twin brother from Cambodia where average male height is only 5’4” and where he may have experienced some malnourishment as a baby.
What is odd, however, is that despite being only 5 feet tall, he still managed to excel in cross country and track and field events including the hurdles, where height gives a large advantage.
Huckman participated on the Kingswood Regional track and field, cross country, and Nordic ski teams. He qualified for the NHIAA Division II Cross Country State Championship meet as a freshman where he was the fastest on the Kingswood Regional team.
He was consistently in the top two finishers for Kingswood throughout high school and qualified again for the state championship meet both junior and senior year where he placed 26th out of the best 133 female runners in the state in division II.
In track and field, Huckman often placed in the top three in his events and even placed 6th at the NHIAA Division II Indoor State Championship meet in the 55 meter hurdles his senior year. ncsasports.org/womens-track-r…
Benjamin Tidd began going to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital clinic from the age of 9 because his mother noticed he wanted to do the things that she did and he liked to dance, meaning he must actually be a typical 9-year old girl because young boys hate dancing.
Despite his young “transition” Tidd still grew to be the size of an average boy, 5’8” and 155 lbs, by his senior year. He participated in both girls’ soccer and basketball at Portland High School in Maine, and while his teams did not do particularly well, Tidd still managed to make the varsity basketball squad from at least sophomore year (possibly freshman). hudl.com/video/3/173079…
Jennings is famous for starring in the televised child abuse program known as “I Am Jazz.” Many details of his school life have been kept private, so the extent of his athletic participation is not known at this time, but it appears that Jennings has been moved up in age groups (like other boys on this list) and has boasted on his social media about scoring against “older girls” on his varsity team, indicating that he likely was on varsity as a freshman.
Ben “Rebekah” Brusehoff – Field Hockey
Like Jennings, Brusehoff has also been paraded around by his parents as a public figure, (using their 10-year-old son to argue that adult men pose no threat to women and girls) and as such, his participation has also been largely kept private.
The most information I have at the moment is an article describing how his team had been undefeated in 2019 and that Brusehoff played midfielder, which is considered to be a more difficult position in field hockey and typically where a team would put its most versatile players. self.com/story/youth-sp…
Dorian “Daisy” Norton - Volleyball
Norton is known for violating state law and sneaking onto the girls’ team at Monarch High School in Florida with the aid of his mother. As he was caught at the beginning of his sophomore year, he didn’t get much of a chance to showcase his male advantage, but it is notable that he (predictably) made the varsity squad as a freshman.
Norton was also the only freshman to do so. In fact, aside from Norton, there were no other underclassmen on the varsity squad his freshman year. maxpreps.com/fl/coconut-cre…
So we not only have boys blocking their puberty and excelling against female opponents, they are excelling at such a degree that, despite being so few in number, we're seeing several who are among the best in the entire nation, a statistical impossibility if not for the fact that they're just boys competing against girls.
I've also heard that blocking puberty can also affect the fusion of growth plates, causing males who do so to in fact grow taller! If this is true, than puberty blockers should, in fact, be looked at as a performance enhancing drug.
There are a few other athletes who have allegedly "transed" young but they were not included here based on the fact that they appear to not have been put on drugs before the start of puberty (and yes, they are all excelling as well)
If you know of any other athletes you feel should be on the list (or "Sarah" Huckman's given name), please comment below!

"The days of transgender athletes being able to compete at the Olympics are numbered."
No. All athletes are welcome to compete at the Olympics if they qualify.
Males will no longer be able to compete in the female division if they so choose.
"But from her loaded language to the dearth of transgender athletes at the Games, it’s obvious this is intended as a means to exclude, not include."
Yes. The entire point of the female category is to exclude male athletes. Otherwise, there would be no female category.
Thank you for finally recognizing this, Nancy.
"Make no mistake: That “way forward” [keeping women's sports female only] will take the IOC backward. And do so in contradiction of its own research and at great harm to an already vulnerable community."
The "research" the IOC relied on when they allowed males into women's sport was a "study" done by a male who participated in women's sports himself on the self-reported times of 8 runners (the author's times included) of which one runner got faster, one reported slower times 20 years apart, one reported slower times after losing motivation to train, one reported slower times after weight gain, etc.
Male crossdressers, some of whom are effeminate gay men with internalized homophobia, some of whom are autistic men, some of whom are married men with AGP who have only been calling themselves "women" for a few weeks, are not a "community" and certainly not a "vulnerable community"
🧵I don't think many are aware of this sobering fact, but in the entire history of women's sport, not once have women had fair competition free of males.
At the same time male athlete Stella Walsh was scooping up medals and world records in the United States and Poland, another man was doing the same over in Germany.
Born in 1918, Ratjen began competing in girls' track and field were he found immediate success, qualifying for the 1936 Olympics at the age of 17 where he placed 4th in the high jump. (Fellow male athlete Stella Walsh placed 2nd in the 100)
In June of the 1937 season, he immediately broke the German high jump record and equaled the world record in July that same year.
In 1938, he broke the women's high jump world record at the Lower Saxon Championships.
He would better that record later that year at the very first Women's European Championships in Vienna where he took the gold medal in the high jump and male athlete Stella Walsh took gold in the 100 and 200 meters.
Ratjen may have continued to steal women's titles and records if not for being confronted by the police on the train home from Vienna.
On the lookout for Nazi spies, it appears the police had been tipped off that there was a man disguising himself a woman on the train.
After being threatened with obstruction of justice, Ratjen admitted to police that he was, in fact, male, and he was arrested and detained, shortly thereafter confirmed to be male by a medical exam.
Born in 1911 in Poland, Stanisława Walasiewicz emigrated to the U.S. with his family as a baby.
Walsh exceled in athletics in school and quickly rose to fame by only 16 years of age after making the 1927 Olympic team.
He was unable to compete in the Olympics that year, as he was not yet an American Citizen, but what followed were almost three decades of domination by someone who should have been considered an average male athlete.
Instead, because he ran against women instead of his male peers, Walsh was considered the fastest "woman" on earth and even one of the best "female" athletes in the world through the 30s and 40s.
Walsh competed in over 500 track and field events, finishing first in everything from sprints to jumps to throws.
Jumping back and forth between Poland and the United States, he stole at least 66 national championship titles, 4 medals at the 1938 Wien Women's World Championships, 6 medals between the 1930 and 1940 Women's World Games, a gold medal in the 100 meters at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics (6th in discus), and a silver medal in the 100 meters at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Walsh was welcomed with parades, showered with media attention, invited to exhibitions and as a special guest at events.
He was given Poland's Silver Cross of Merit, honored with the Millrose Games Outstanding Athlete award (the first "woman" to ever be bestowed the honor) which he received to a 5-minute ovation from 16,000 spectators.
He was given the 1932 and 1933 Great National Sports Prize in Poland and the Outstanding Polish Sports Achievement of the Year Award in 1934, an voted "Best Athlete" in the Przeglad Sportowy publication reader poll in 1930, 1932, 1933, and 1934.
🧵Simone Biles believes women should be "uplifting trans athletes" or men who invade our spaces and have been stealing our athletic awards and opportunities.
I can only hope that she is saying this because she really, truly is not familiar with this issue and does not know who these men and boys are.
@Simone_Biles, me introduce some of them to you.
Michael "Lauren" Jeska
Jeska terrorized the women's fell running scene in the UK for years, taking 3 consecutive English Fell running championship titles along with a Welsh (WFRA) title.
When officials questioned Jeska's eligibility, declaring his results void as he failed to comply with the rules, he took two knives to the UK Athletics office and proceeded to stab Ralph Knibbs, head of human resources, in the head and neck in an attack eyewitnesses describe "as though [he] were trying to skewer meat."
He also injured the two men who tried to intervene.
Knibbs suffered a stroke in the attack and was subsequently disabled. Jeska continues to serve his sentence for attempted murder.
He still holds women's parkrun records and is being held in a women's prison.
Luis Neto aka "Luiza Marchiori"
Marchiori competes in women's skateboarding despite being accused by three women (his ex-partners) of emotional and physical abuse.
He has been stealing awards from women and young teenage girls, including a 2nd place finish at the Mystic Sk8 Cup 2024, one of the largest skate competitions in Europe.
Some statements from his exes:
“I’m Luiz Neto’s ex-girlfriend and I suffered physical and psychological aggression [from him]. Not only me, I have a WhatsApp group with several ex-girlfriends of his who have also suffered assaults. He was jealous of my dog, my dad, my brothers… I could not have friends. He threatened to smash my phone in my face, and wanted me to throw all of my clothes out and dress like a man.”
Another:
“I dated Luiz for almost two years. I went to live with him at the end of 2019. He began to gossip about my friends, saying that they were a bad influence [on me] because they drank. Sometimes he would send messages to my exes to ask what I had done with them in detail, because I was not allowed to do it anymore [with him].
I could no longer watch the movies and shows that I watched before. I couldn’t eat sushi because I had eaten sushi with my ex … I had to sleep in the bed in a way that I didn’t sleep with others, and if he woke up and I was in another position, he would get mad at me and tell me to lay on the edge of the bed."
“He threw my wardrobe away, I could only wear his clothes and underwear. He wouldn’t let me shave, only if I asked him sometimes. I couldn’t wear makeup. I couldn’t talk a lot with his friends. And he assaulted me, left me all purple. Once, when we fought, I tried to escape, but he caught me and locked me in a room. He started stepping on [my chest], depriving me of air. He choked me and many other things. Two years and a lot of psychological and physical abuse,”
“By the end, I had lost contact with everyone. He deleted my social media, changed my number, took my phone and locked it with a password. I could only use it sometimes to answer calls from my parents.”
🧵The New York Times has put out another article painting a male athlete cheating in girls' sports as a hero and a victim.
Once again, male desires and feelings are centered and girls' are ignored.
Let's take a look...
"The California athlete at the center of a searing political debate over trans girls’ competing in girls’ sports went home a winner on Saturday in what is arguably the most competitive state track and field meet in the nation."
This is not a "political" debate. It extends outside politics and is simply a matter of women's rights. Do we treat female human beings equal to male? Is this a political issue?
Hernandez did not go home a "winner." He went home with a participation trophy that boys and girls much more talented than he is were not given.
Hernandez continues to cheat (compete unfairly) as the marks his performances are being compared to come from female competitors while he is male. He alone is being offered this special circumstance while no other athletes are.
"AB Hernandez, a junior from Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County, shared first place in the high jump and triple jump, and also shared second in the long jump. Her spot on the awards podium was a sign of how complicated her participation in the competition had become."
Hernandez achieved the best marks in these events compared to female athletes. He beat these athletes.
Despite the fact that these girls are much more talented than he is and deserved the glory of winning first place, they were forced to "share" that moment with a boy who refuses to participate against other boys and demands special treatment.
His participation in girls events is not complicated. It's quite simple, really.
He's a boy. He competes in girls' events. He should compete in boys' events with other boys. What he's doing is called "cheating."
🧵There is one part of the conversation that is often left out when speaking about "trans" ideology when it comes to sport, and that is the negative impact on male athletes.
Female athletes are not the only ones who have been affected by this nonsense.
1. Many "trans" identified males enter "mixed" competitions along with the "women's." In these mixed competitions, there is supposed to be a set number of male and female participants.
These rules are ignored, of course, for male athletes who claim to be "female."
What this means is that the actual men and women on mixed teams are forced to compete against teams comprised entirely of men or with more males on the roster than is normally allowed.
In this way, male athletes, along with their female teammates, are cheated out of medals, awards, records, and in some cases, prize money.
A few examples:
Hugo "Ana" Caldas has swum on multiple mixed relay teams, most recently stealing a 1st place finish at the 2025 USMS Spring National Championships.
At the 2024 South American Championships, he took 1st with two mixed relay teams, even setting a mixed relay world record.
This means that the two male and two female athletes on each of those teams that he has beaten have missed out on gold medals and championship titles, club records, and even a world record.
While at the San Diego Imperial club, he set three records in mixed relays with another male athlete, David "Jennifer" Rines.
These records were set in 2018 and have stood for seven years now. It's not likely they will be broken, as relay teams fielding two male and two female athletes are actually contending with records set by an entirely male team.
