 This selfish cheating male stole multiple wins from women. A transgender swimmer at Ramapo College of New Jersey is facing another round of criticism from Riley Gaines after breaking another school record at the New Jersey Athletic Conference Championships last week.Meghan Cortez-Fields is a senior at the Mahwah school and is originally from College Station, Texas. Before this year, she swam for the men's swim team at Ramapo for three years.

In November, Cortez-Fields found herself and the school facing controversy after breaking a school record in the 100-yard butterfly.

On Friday, day two of the NJAC Championships, Cortez-Fields swam a time of 2:08.20 in the 200-yard individual medley breaking the previous school record set by Brenda Arthur in 2016 of 2:10.10.

Later that day Gaines, a University of Kentucky alumna and well-known but controversial figure in the debate over the rights of transgender athletes, took to her X account to make a statement on Cortez-Fields' NJAC performance.
