Alexa Anderson, senior of Oregon High School, drew national attention on Saturday when she refused to share the podium of the high jump medal with a trans athlete during a state athletics championship.
Viral images of Anderson and his colleague athlete Reese Eckard leave the podium have also shown an official gesture so that they walk on the side.
Anderson alleges that the manager ordered Eckard to get out of the photo of the photos if they were not going to stand on the podium.

“We left the podium to protest and, as you can see, the official kind told us” hey, go there, if you do not participate, take out photos “”, alleged Anderson in an interview on PK Press Club “” The Ingraham Angle “on Monday evening.
“They asked us to move away from the medal stand, so when they took the photos, we were not even in it.”
PK Press Club Digital contacted Oregon School Activities Association for Comments.
The incident occurs for weeks after secondary school sports officials in California have ordered athletes to take off t-shirts “Protect Girls Sports” during a competition in the playoffs with a trans athlete.
Anderson added that on Saturday was his first competition with a transgender athlete, but she opposed trans inclusion in the sports of girls before that and expressed her belief through social media comments.
“This is the first public stand that I took in this issue, but I supported all the girls who made with positive messages, commenting on the messages, simply supporting them and letting them know that I am behind them in any way,” said Anderson.
Anderson, from Tigard High School, finished third in the high jump and Eckard, from Sherwood High School, arrived fourth, while Ida B. Wells High School athlete finished fifth.

“It is unfair because organic men and biological women compete at so different levels that leaving a biological man in our competition consists in occupying the place and opportunities of all these working women, the ninth girl who should have arrived in eighth and had this podium place removed, as well as many others,” said Anderson.
The situation of Anderson and Eckard was only one of the many cases of girls who had to share competition podiums and medals with biological men in the state of meetings last weekend.
In California, an incident published at the national level involving the Trans and AB Hernandez athlete from secondary school Jurupa Valley culminated in Hernandez winning two state titles. President Donald Trump warned the State not to let the athletes transal in the meeting of the title of girls, and the Ministry of Justice has now given California a period of June 9 to revise its policy or federal funding reductions could take place.
In Washington, a trans athlete in East Valley High School won the female state title of 400 meters 2A on Saturday. In response, several girls from the High School tumwater, who was at the center of a controversy involving a basketball player for girlfriends reprimanded for refusing to face a trans opponent in winter, protested on Monday during class hours with a large sign of banner who said: “It is not a walk (sic). We are not going anywhere.”
The athletics meetings of other girls who have seen competitive trans athletes this weekend took place in Maine and Minnesota.
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a non -partisan research institute, has filed a title IX discrimination complaint Against Oregon for its laws which allow biological men to participate in the sports of girls on May 27.
The complaint was filed with the civil rights office of the United States Ministry of Education, which has already launched investigations into title IX against high school leagues in California, Minnesota, Maine and Massachusetts.

“Each girl deserves a fair blow – on the field, on the podium and in life,” said Jessica Hart Steinmann, AFPI -executive lawyer and vice -president of the Center for Litigation, in a press release.
“When state institutions knowingly oblige young women to compete with biological men, they violate federal law and send a devastating message to female athletes across the country.”
