Ok hadn’t seen that one, which says they use “all pronouns.” The main article I saw was this one from 2020, so also using “he” may be a recent change. Regardless, they were born female.

And then they changed the rules and Thomas would no longer be eligible. Thomas is the only one to really make a significant impact in NCAA D1 and that was over 2 years ago.
Riley Gaines sure seems to be profiting nicely off of this situation.
Yeah never heard of this person until today and seems like they were born female and now identifies as non-binary. Don’t see that they ever identified as a man
It’s interesting to me that so many of the people claiming they’re “protecting women’s sports!” seem to have such little respect for the athletic abilities of biological women. You think some random “gangly white dudes” could make it in the WNBA without being at least a somewhat successful basketball player as a male? I don’t. This SJSU volleyball player is a great example. She even played volleyball as a male in early years of high school apparently, yet all she could muster up was honorable mention All Mountain West.
Biological males do not belong in women’s sports. But they’re not going to “take over” like some people seem to think.
That bolded sentence says they think she held those positions, it doesn’t mean any of those reasons drove why they voted for Trump, especially considering that sentence lists 4 different positions.
IMO, the fact that down-ballot races were not as favorable to Republicans as the Presidential race was is evidence the trans issue was not a major factor in people’s votes.
I believe the “Suriano level” comment was more about his potential, not necessarily what he’s already accomplished. Although IIRC I saw a poster saying one of the rumor-starter’s comments about the PSU guy was that he was “more accomplished than SVN,” although I did not see that comment personally. Which would pretty much only leave Haines and Mesenbrink as options, which I doubt.
Yes I agree with your second sentence. Apologies my sentence was worded poorly.
I still feel that biological men competing in women’s sports had very little impact in the election.
He (and Jon Stefanowicz) said cops were called to the house on multiple occasions, but they did not get into any details.
They also showed a home video of Chance’s mom yelling at him while he’s forced to stay in a wrestling stance, and I think it was Stefnowicz who said something like “this isn’t even the bad stuff,” and Chance made a comment like “my mom and I’s relationship was good when it was good, and bad when it was bad”
If you’re referring to this specific rumor, he’s not, but said it was someone that was “Suriano level,” so I’m skeptical.
But PSU fans seem to acknowledge that guys like Sealey, Facundo, Cochran, maybe even Kasak or one of Davis or Nagao may leave.
Just watched. Good film. Kudos to Flo, Chance and his wife in particular.
On a wrestling note, can we talk about the reviewed call vs Burroughs where both corners wanted 4? The singlet pull got much of the press but this call is a great illustration IMO of why I don’t like the freestyle rule of “who initiated the move.” It’s not ideal that the refs’ decision can decide an 8 point swing (9 if you count a lost challenge point)
I believe even the girl on the same team that’s suing says she lived with Fleming for months before realizing she was trans. I agree she shouldn’t be playing, but those calling it a “safety issue” are reaching IMO. She seems to be above average, but that’s about it. If her participating is a safety issue then it’s also a safety issue for Carter Starocci and Gable Steveson to still have eligibility also.
