HELP COMPLETE THIS LIST OF PLAYERS.
The Preserve Championship in Minnesota was one of the few #DGPT events that #NatalieRyan was allowed to compete in this year. "ICONS - Independent Council on Women's Sports" sponsored this protest, and I'm curious about their financials/support base.
I haven't seen anyone post a list of ICONS-supporters, so maybe we could get one going here. As a disc golf fan, I think it's important to know where specific golfers stand on this issue.
The video linked here was led primarily by Cat and Sarah. Other than the timestamped names below, here's who I've spotted: FRONT ROW: Lisa Fajkus, Vanessa Van Dyken, Stacie (Hass) Kiefer OTHERS: Stacie Rawnsley, Nathan Queen?, Gannon Buhr, Garrett Gurthie, Nikko, Ezra Aderholt?, Robert Burridge, Austin Hannum
Previously signed "Declaration" on May 8th: Emily Beach, Deann Carey, Ruby Reyes, Evelina Salonen, Henna Bloomroos, Sarah Gilpin, Valerie Mandujano https://archive.ph/waVrH (Reddit archive)

They are working off a strange misogynistic assumption that any man is better than all women could be. Add on the transphobic assumption that a trans woman is actually a man. Voila! QED: Any trans woman is a better athlete than all cis women could be.
The thought process is so distorted.
That is… astounding. Painfully cringingly astounding. Is there a word for “feeling embarrassed for someone else’s smugly preening overconfidence”?
