A runner, who raced as recently as November 2022 as a man, is celebrating “girl power” for beating almost 14,000 women in the London Marathon on Sunday.

The New York Post reports:

A transgender runner is under fire for crediting “girl power” for beating nearly 14,000 others in the female category of the London Marathon — just months after racing in New York as a man.

Sports bra-wearing racer Glenique Frank — who ran the New York Marathon on Nov. 6 as Glen Frank — went viral after stopping to talk to a BBC reporter covering the UK race Sunday.

“London is the best!” the 52-year-old runner said of her 17th marathon, which last year included Tokyo and Chicago and will include all of the “six majors,” including Berlin and then Boston.

“Girl power!” Frank said of her marathon efforts while flexing her bulging biceps above rainbow-colored armbands.

The runner — whose social media still shows photos of her running earlier races as a balding man — ended the mid-race chat to gush about how her “beautiful son” is expecting a baby.

“So I’m going to be a gran — Granny G!” Frank said before running off, draped in a blue, pink and white transgender flag.

The celebratory remarks soon became the latest lightning rod for critics opposed to transgender athletes competing against biological women.

Two-time Olympian Mara Yamauchi weighed in on the travesty.

in the F category, finishing 2829th out of 8609. So nearly 6000 females in worse finish position.

Today I tweeted about male Glenique Frank running in the female category in yesterday’s London Marathon.

In response @LibDems candidate @HarryMarstonLD tweeted this to my MP, @munirawilson (also LD). This is a man telling a female MP who she’s allowed to follow/not follow. pic.twitter.com/FpgIJybE5u

The post Trans Runner Credits “Girl Power” For Beating 14K Women in London Marathon Only Months After Racing in NYC as a Man appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

On Monday FOX News fired Tucker Carlson, their top-rated prime-time host.  Like FOX hosts before him, Tucker’s final show was on Friday.  He was not allowed back on the air.

On Tuesday morning Steve Bannon fired off on the Murdochs and FOX News as he opened the War Room.

Steve Bannon: I played that because at CPAC I threw down harder than Murdochs as being foreigners, as hating our country. It’s just all about money and power for them. It’s not about what’s right for this country. They disrespected President Trump. They disrespected, they disrespected MAGA all the time…  They didn’t have the common decency or courtesy of everything, not just for what Tucker’s done for the network, everything Tucker’s done for the country.  Because Tucker’s the most prominent populist voice. He’s the only populous voice in primetime on a mainstream media channel. And he’s got the biggest audience. His audience is bigger than all the CNN primetime combined. There’s clearly a huge appetite out there…  The lack of respect they show Trump. The lack of respect they show Tucker. Who are you guys?

You’re in our country. You’re not even Americans. What are you doing over here? No one should watch Fox. Just take the clicker and cut it off. They hate you. They disrespect you. The people that you follow and admire, like President Trump and Tucker, they totally disrespect.
