In some cases, biological females have been allowed to take hormones while competing against other girls. Because of the increased speed, strength, and stamina caused by either biological advantages or hormone treatments, many tend to dominate their opponents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are five times transgender athletes shattered women\u2019s sports records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CeCe Telfer \u2014 Hurdles<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Franklin Pierce University senior CeCe Telfer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklinpierce.edu\/about\/news\/National_Champion_CeCe_Telfer.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">became<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> an NCAA women\u2019s track and field national champion in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Telfer, a biological male, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecondOnlyRyMac\/status\/1356011456010084357?s=20\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">completed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 57.53 seconds \u2014 more than a second faster than his nearest rival.
