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)

    It’s really disappointing how effectively people have been fleeced by transphobes into believing the “trans women are killing women’s sports” narrative, even with all the evidence to the contrary.

    Unrelated, but here’s an archived link to that reddit post, since I’m guessing there are a lot of people here who may not want to click into reddit: https://archive.ph/waVrH

      Yeah, it’s really disappointing that so many FPO golfers feel threatened by trans players.

      Thanks for the archive link! I’ve made the change. I guess there’s no reliable “alternative front end” for Reddit right now?

      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.
