Do they have a go fund me yet?
It seems like this nonsense is starting to get people to stand up and stop being silent due to fear on the angry and loud left. Common sense is starting to prevail.

University President:
"I thank God that we live in a nation where we have the freedoms to express ourselves as we choose. But those freedoms cannot get to the place where they take away freedoms and opportunities from other people. That is crossing the line and we have indeed crossed the line in letting biological males compete in women's athletics. My prayer is that we can come together on this issue and get back to what is right for women's athletics," he added.
From same article, Bob Costas:
“It’s not transphobic to say ‘Let’s inject some common sense here,'” If someday the best player in the WNBA can play in the NBA, everybody would applaud. But if the worst guy at the end of the bench on the worst team in the NBA went to the WNBA and averaged 40 points a game, everybody knows that’s [unfair]."
My guess is the courts will find that the NCAA is a private organization and can decide their own rules however they like as long as they are not overtly discriminatory at an institutional level.
To that end the way the NCAA creates divisions is largely arbitrary. They could just as easily use chromasomes as gender identity if they were inclined to. They could also go full co-ed and have one team regardless of sex or gender; may the best athlete win.
It will probably not help the girls' case that the NCAA is opt-in. They don't HAVE to agree to the rules or participate. On the otherhand, I think the fact that participation can prioritize school admission and grant scholarship dollars may help the girls' case in that it is a form of compensation for participating that may be compromised.
There's still a LOT of golf to be played, but there's something ironic about the current leader at the US WOMEN'S Disc Golf Championship being trans and having gone through puberty as a male - Natalie Ryan

Amazing!! lol… probably enjoys throwing from the woman’s tee box
I love disc golf too… sad to see got infected with this garbage
How do these trans women not realize they’re doing massive damage to their cause…
Making people resent them when most people didn’t really care one way or the other previously
Locker rooms, sports, etc…
You mean NateAnd Natalie's attitude, aggression, and vitriol through the whole process only made it worse.
It was actually Logan.You mean Nate
As we're seeing across culture these days, you can't count on large organizations to do the right thing and there is no real apparatus to make them do it.
@Fedor>Cain this thread is exactly what I was talking about. So far, the only left winger who has come into this thread and said they don't support men in women's sports is Loiosh.
I'm a left leaning moderate, socially liberal and fiscally conservative, and I am as firmly entrenched against trans women in protected women's divisions of sport as I can be.@Fedor>Cain this thread is exactly what I was talking about.
