The misogynists don't care about females or science. This is a men's rights movement, led by female-hating males and supported by misogynistic females, and the goal is to stamp out female sports, privacy and any and all rights as a sex class. These female-haters play by zero-sum rules, and in their braincases, they believe anything women have is taking something from a male. Play in sports? That $ is a waste since it could be spent on men. Have a good paying job you do well? Another attack on entitled men. Have the audacity to tell him no? You are a man-hater.
It does feel like it would be worth compiling this (especially the science studies) into a rebuttal and sending it to whichever centre actually puts this stuff together. Also, I can imagine that someone told to write "an apology note" would be more likely to tell the coach precisely where they could put their apology note. Though perhaps that's just my underlying male aggression.
The SJSU thing is interesting: I think three colleges have boycotted, one (which was at the top of the league) has played and won. That could become a real focus of this debate.
I have sent everything I've written to the Tucker Center, the University of Minnesota (where the Tucker Center resides), and Nike.
Unfortunately, if I know girls, and I think I do, they would write the apology note and then some. Did you see the incident with the women's pro hockey recruit who merely tweeted something along the lines of Yay women in women's sports? Gads, I'm blanking on her name. Anyway, she was sacrificed as a transphobe on social media and forced to absolutely grovel. It was hideous
I was also wondering if you had shared this with the Tucker Center. I know the executive Director and the founder. Please let me know if you hear from anyone at the Tucker Center. I am currently strategizing with an ally who also knows the current executive Director about how and when to approach her. Thank you so much for all this great analysis and research.
Yes, I sent all three articles to Nicole LaVoi and Alicia Pelton, as well as the office of the president of the U. Also to Nike. Unsurprisingly, I have heard nothing from any of those entities
The "research" in this chapter on LBTQ (although it's really just aimed at T) is truly garbage. It's a grad student and a psych major saying males have no sports advantage. End of. Because transphobia. And yet, the Tucker Center, once an organization that really did do research, is using that swill to spearhead a global effort aimed at normalizing boys in girls' sports.
If it’s so effing ok why is it that elite males aren’t being over run by mediocre females. It’s infuriating to do this to women who have fought so hard to be athletes in their own right.

Yes, not surprising. But that’s helpful. We will of course refer to your articles and it’s good to know that they have received them.
This is mind-boggling . I have read a lot of garbage on this subject but this takes the cake !

This is a very important and informative article. I appreciate your efforts to show the facts of the matter.

It’s galling for women to have to highlight their athletic deficiencies compared to men to justify single-sex sports.
