On October 27, the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation is hosting a fundraising luncheon to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX which prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding.
For decades Title IX has helped women’s sports to flourish and allowed countless women to follow their passion in sports.
Perversely, the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation is going to honor CeCe Telfer, a man who competes in women’s sports, at this event.
When CeCe competed in track and field at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH as Craig he was only average. After Craig decided he would identify as a woman he became very successful and ended up winning the NCAA Championship for the Division II women’s 400-meter hurdles in 2019, stealing the award from the second-place female finisher.

In 2020, Franklin Pierce University was forced to rescind its trans-inclusive policy for sports programs when the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights claimed that the policy violated Title IX because it “denies female student-athletes equal athletic benefits and opportunities.”
In 2021, CeCe was preparing to compete in women’s track in the Tokyo Olympics when he was disqualified for having too high a level of testosterone.
Lia Thomas, the tall, big-shouldered, flat-chested man who won a women’s Division I NCAA swimming championship has eclipsed CeCe in notoriety and appears to have woken up vastly more people to how ludicrous it is for men to be allowed to dominate in women’s sports but CeCe will always be remembered as the first.
The New Hampshire Women’s Foundation is either unaware of all of this controversy or they just don’t care but I have to wonder how many people are interested in paying $75 and up to attend an event where a man is being celebrated for helping to destroy women’s sports while pretending to honor the advancement of women’s sports.
