Lindsay, thank you for all your writing on this issue. The "protect women's sports" rhetoric gets me so angry. It's so offensive and condescending to all women, but especially coming from the GOP who don't care about women - let alone women's sports. Targeting trans women was always about doing an end run around Title IX, which the GOP hates. I want to take all of it, along with all those awful men you named, and throw it on the burn pile. 🔥🔥

Brava and spot on. I would just add former USSF President Sunil Gulati as another man to keep out of women's sports. He purposely hid serious complaints from players regarding Paul Riley and Rory Dames in the NWSL allowing Riley to be hired by other teams. https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2022/10/10/columbia-professor-sunil-gulati-implicated-in-us-soccer-investigation-into-widespread-abuse-of-female-players/. Sadly Columbia Athletics was one of the first NCAA teams to jump at removing trans inclusion policy from its website (and its DEI policy, too) in showing its fealty to Trump and the NCAA. https://www.columbiaspectator.com/sports/2025/02/06/columbia-athletics-removes-transgender-inclusion-policy-from-website-in-wake-of-trump-executive-order/
I enjoy all of your newsletters, but it's ones like this that really fuels my soul.
👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, thank you for writing this. I, too, have had trouble seeing through my rage to verbalize a coherent response. This is it.
