Girls on Washington high school team walk off course in protest of athlete
What happened
About a dozen girls on the Camas High School cross-country team in Washington state walked off the course at the start of a race. The protest was directed at a teammate who had switched from the boys' team to the girls' team. School officials said the protesting athletes would face no consequences for their actions.

No outlet on this side covered it.
Right-leaning outlets consistently describe the athlete as a "biological male" or "male athlete" competing in girls' sports, framing the story as girls protesting for "fairness" and "truth." Several stories highlight that Washington's schools chief "dismissed" the girls' concerns by saying their "brains aren't fully developed," and multiple outlets connect the protest to Initiative 638, which would prohibit males from competing in girls' sports. Coverage emphasizes the girls' sacrifice, with one athlete described as "walk[ing] off the starting line alone" and ending her season.
