Another excellent post, Sarah. That photo of the “girls’” team is priceless. Poor girls!!!
Good idea to follow the money. Another trans billionaire with enormous influence is Jennifer Pritzker, who funds the ACLU, HRC, UCLA school of law, WPATH, etc.
As for Dawn Staley, At least she didn’t say what category those men would play in. 😀 Watching the Final Four last night, I imagined a man on the court. Those top coaches are not going to let it happen. My prediction. They love the game too much. And they have a lot of power.
As we have seen, women's rights are not a priority in the NCAA. As it stands right now, there is nothing stopping any male who identifies as a woman from playing on the women's team. It's pure luck that it hasn't happened already. (And maybe has, but the player simply wasn't skilled enough to draw attention). That's why the ICONS lawsuit is important
It has happened. In addition to Lia Thomas, there's Juniper "June" Eastwood: first trans athlete (male) to compete in an NCAA Division I women's cross country meet (University of Montana) in 2019. And CeCé Telfer of Franklin Pierce University, who won a women's NCAA Division II National Championship, also in 2019, in the 400m hurdles, for Texas A&M University.
The coaches don't have as much power as the President of the United States. If Biden is re-elected, he will destroy women's and girls' sports by administrative fiat, because he (like all Democrats holding elected federal office), is completely captured by the transification cult. He also knows better than to do it before the election:
"Biden Title IX rules on trans athletes set for election-year delay"
If you believe that trans women (aka men) should be allowed to compete against biological women in most sports or that they belong in women's restrooms, locker rooms and prisons then you are either cognitively impaired or intellectually dishonest. Of course, Dawn Staley would love to recruit an all male “women’s” team. It would be a shoo-in for a national championship.
If you “ consider yourself a girl” , do you sit on the toilet to pee? These men who are taking advantage of girls and women are not much better than rapists! They are taking advantage of the weaker sex and gaining all kinds of rewards! Personally , I have no patience with such greedy creatures!

Oh yeah, I was talking about women's basketball.
Oh I see.
