This is Jonathan Eastwood from Belgrade, MT.
He was the 2014-15 Montana boy’s stats champion in cross country, the 800 meters, the mile, and the 2 mile. From there he went on to compete at the University of Montana, where he qualified for the National Championships in cross country as a sophomore, finishing 74th overall, after finishing 30th in the Big Sky Conference.
As someone who has coached this sport for years I can tell you that these times are very good, but a few seconds off what he would need to compete for a national championship.
Then Jonathan magically became Juniper, AKA June.
The NCAA allows you to do this if you take a year off and get a bunch of hormone injections. But all the estrogen in the world cannot undo 21 years of male body growth, male bones, and male muscles. He is now listed on the women’s cross country team on Montana’s website.
In his last race on the men’s team Jonathan finished 30th overall at the Big Sky Championships in 2017. However, his time of 25:44 was five seconds slower than the previous year’s championship race, in which he finished 24th.
I know what this feels like for runners. They put 60-70 miles in a week minimum at this level, so to not improve between sophomore and junior year, despite all that training, can be frustrating. And according to an interview he did with the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, this was a big reason why he transitioned:
“I felt kind of stuck. I had done this running thing for so long and was pretty miserable doing it, because I was pretty miserable in men’s racing,” Eastwood said.
In other words, he wasn’t winning championships any more. He was still his school’s best runner, but he wasn’t the top dog in the conference, which was dominated by the much faster runners from Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.
He was the top runner on one of the worst teams in the conference, and it sucked to lose for the first time in his life.
Meanwhile the women’s team at Montana didn’t fare too well at last year’s Big Sky Championships either.
But when you add one of the faster male runners to your team, you’re probably gonna get a lot better. Mens’ races are 5 miles, while women’s are 3.1. Jonathan ran 5:09 mile pace in his last men’s race, which converts to 15:57 for a 3.1 mile race. He’d likely go a little faster since it’s a shorter race too. Here are the top women’s times from last year’s conference championships.
He’s going to crush the field barring an injury, because he’s a dude and these are women. He will likely win the Division 1 National Championship as well, because last year’s winner ran 5:17 mile pace.
In the interview he did Eastwood said that when he found out he could compete as a woman, he suddenly liked cross country again.
Eastwood did her research and found the NCAA’s trans athlete policy on her own. She realized she could have both, her true identity and the sport she loves.
But wait, I thought he hated cross country? Wasn’t he “pretty miserable doing it?”
“I felt kind of stuck. I had done this running thing for so long and was pretty miserable doing it, because I was pretty miserable in men’s racing,” Eastwood said.
Oh wait, he was just referring to his performance, not his overall state of mind. He liked cross country, he just didn’t like the fact that he could no longer win every race just by showing up.
Montana might not win the Big Sky Championship this year, but they’re going to finish a lot higher. It’s flat out cheating. Shockingly the coach from Montana doesn’t have a problem with it, because the people who coach male to female transgender athletes never have a problem with an obvious unfair competitive advantage:
Brian Schweyen, head coach of the University of Montana’s track and field program, describes Eastwood as a “very talented” and driven athlete. The kind that any coach would want to work with, he said. Schweyen said he fully supports Eastwood’s decision to compete on the women’s team. He said that while some may question the fairness of the situation, the NCAA makes that determination, and he trusts the decision.
“Some may question the fairness.”
No. Just no. No one is questioning anything. It’s unfair, it’s undeniable, and everyone with a brain can plainly see that.
Some day in the future people will look back at the language they used in stories like the Bozeman puff piece, and they’ll be so confused.
Eastwood was assigned male at birth, but identifies as female. She’s transgender.
Translation – he was born a dude because he is a dude. Then one day he decided he didn’t want to be a dude, and instead of telling him that he doesn’t get to decide that, society not only humored him.
Or read the last sentence of this paragraph.
Eastwood spent three years running for the men’s cross-country and track teams. In 2016 and 2017, she ran the best times of anyone on her team at the Big Sky Conference championships. At her last tack meet in 2018, she placed seventh in the 1,500 meter conference championship race. She was, by all accounts, a competitive and successful male runner.
She was a competitive male runner. She was a male. Rational adults are repeating phrases like this out of fear of what will happen to them if they don’t. This is absolutely madness, and is a culture that every single democratic member of congress supports when they voted yes on the so called “Equality Act.” But they can’t get it through the Senate, and Trump would veto it if it did. It’s why I will be voting for Trump again in 2020 – because there isn’t a single democratic candidate for President who wouldn’t sign this bill.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – this is sexism. This is men invading women’s spaces and taking something away from them. Kara Story from Idaho is the top returning runner in the Big Sky Conference after finishing third last year, and was likely the favorite to win it this year. She deserves it for putting the work in. But it will be nearly impossible for her to compete against a biological male whose PR is over a minute faster than her’s. Montana is really bad, so her addition to the team probably won’t win them the conference, but they’ll pass a bunch of teams that are entirely comprised of biological women.
And this is why Megan Rapinoe and the US Women’s National Team are completely full of shit. They claim to stand for equality and social justice, which is easy to do when none of the countries they competed against had biological men on their teams. They claim to be champions for women athletes everywhere, but they’ve remained silent as all these women continue to lose to biological men over and over and over again.

Serious question. What’s the difference between these 2 scenarios?
1) I’m a male who claims to be a woman. I move to the top of the oppression league and I can do no wrong. No-one can criticise anything I do because that would be trans-phobic and the women’s movement is set back 100 years as men dominate women in their own fields.
2) I’m a male who claims to be Florence Nightingale (a specific woman). I’m diagnosed as mentally ill and they lock me in a padded room and perform experiments on me.
2 scenarios where a man claims to be a woman. 2 radically different outcomes.
Can someone explain this?
DS
I’m a loud and proud non binary, transgender woman who yes, still has a penis and I’m more woman than any biological female!
Don’t vote for liberals….ever
This kid will off himself in 5 years. Put all these trannys on Pedo Island and let them have at it until theyre all gone.
They should just have trannie teams so they can both compete against themselves.
Why would he use Estrogen when steroids would do the trick? His lopsided head would cross the finish line first, his phallus might shrink but he’d still be a man, cheating his way to the tippy-top.
Would.
Body dysmorphic disorder; a fairly well documented mental illness. Why should my daughter potentially suffer the consequences of society embracing this lunacy for anything else?
Exterminate fags! Ovens!
I am right there with ya sister! I have yet to see a female to male athlete beat a man in a sport but these tranny women are doing it everywhere. Well just the other day China had 3 trannies for an international track and field competition. Two of them didn’t even put any effort…no long hair, painted nails etc.
Simple question:
Have any females who transitioned to male won any races like this?
Being skinny and looking in the mirror and seeing a fat person is Anorexia and a mental illness. Any parent or doctor who told a child “yes, you ARE fat! Keep starving yourself” would be arrested for abuse.
Man looks in the mirror and sees a woman is somehow OK and encouraged. Hell the state even pays for the surgery for prisoners! What’s wrong with the world??
At least not womans,or skinny white losers. The mandingos at least might be on the foosball team.
So sick of these bitch boys! You will never be a woman till you have female DNA. Tuck your dick and call yourself June . Either way…You will always be a fake and a freak
First step prove you cut your penis off.
Whole lot of people are complicit in this abomination. LGBTQ+ coat-tailing on Civil Rights movement. The medical industry for entertaining this and playing alchemist on children with ” puberty blockers and hormone therapy ” the whole psychiatry field for lobbying to get ‘ gender dysphoria ‘ removed from the DSM.
In the 80’s I was ahead of the curve in arguing for the rights of gays to get married but this abomination has to come to and end. In some states if your child identifies as another gender and you don’t do anything about it the state can take your child away and give them drugs. Fuck everyone involved in this travesty. The TERFs were right. This is just another example of men invading the personal spaces of women. Women speak now or have your entire history obliterated by mentally ill men.
Trannies that keep their junk are mentally ill weasels. Trannies that get snipped are really sick people. Imagine thinking that having your male genitalia removed will make you a happier person? How many of them wake up after the surgery and think “I’ve made a mistake”? Well at least they won’t be breeding more mental deficients. luv, frankie boy
If you saw the right hand photo at the top of the page, didn’t know the trans whatever circumstances and you think that’s a woman and if offered a Ginger or Mary Ann question, what say you?
Maude or Juniper? Remember, you think Juniper is a chick and all you have is a photo to go by.
My chest swelled with pride when I read about Juniper’s emotional journey. Ze is truly an inspiration to all Trans. Ze fought against and the homophobes and transphobes and earned a spot on the women’s team and will be beloved by hir new teammates. OBTW Ze is gorgeous!
So is Ze the pronoun for what they call this “new gender” of people?
I dont see how and why people dont see this as a mental illness.
Juniper could be gender fluid. If ze is genderqueer one would want to use the non-binary pronouns ze/hir. You better start to respect people’s pronouns or you will end up with a low social credit score. It will effect your job, school and social and economic standing.
To paraphrase Ben Shapiro he said something like “if I had a dollar for every gender I would have two dollars and plenty of counterfeits.”
Nuff said.
Juniper, call FoxBoro, I’m intrigued.
Definitely.
This tranny is transitioning the wrong way. Not manly enough for me like my daughter Caroline.
Gotta go… time for my daily pegging from Caroline.
I wonder how Megan Rapinoe would feel if Mr. Christiano Ronaldo transitioned into Ms. Christiana Ronald and played against her team?
Uncle is obsessed about trannies. Says a lot about him
She/he still wont get many dates. And in dating his Senior year: If your a guy that wants to be a woman for running purposes who do you want to date?
Guys (your a homo because you have a dick and the guys you date are homos because you have a dick)
or girls (your hetero because you have a dick and like pussy and shopping, and the girls that are dating you like dick but have mommy issues).
So confusing!
Obsessed much?
Who the fuck cares about college running?
No one does. But I do care about the incremental bullshit being heaped at every turn on the working class in the name of bolstering the larger SJW Fraud complex.
Every time they win, my kids move one step closer to living their adult years in the equivalent of Stalinist Russia.
