I sympathize with the overall message, but this is written in such a comically misleading way. It would have you believe that only 12 scholarships are available to women at Wisconsin and that is laughably, ridiculously untrue.
I don't know why people do this. It weakens the argument.
I keep telling you, this can’t happen. Or it’s rare and we shouldn’t worry about it. Or we need a separate division for men who think they’re women. Wait, there are poor people in the world so we can’t care about athletics until all that is solved. Or you right wingers are just making it up. Bunch of bigots!
We were told that boys dominating girl's sports in high school was no big deal because they wouldn't be taking women's college scholarships. Maybe we could solve our Title IX issues by having half the football team identify as female.
No one said that. It’s an argument that was made up by transphobes. You people love to argue against invisible boogeymen.
in this case, a woman is getting a woman’s scholarship. This is nothing to get worked up about.
But he isn’t actually a woman. Only in your made up fantasy world is a man who thinks he’s a woman is a woman. You can say he’s a woman and spout all kinds of woke propaganda, but society will never accept him as a woman. Small pockets of society might play along with him being a woman to be polite, but to the rest of the world, he’s a man.
His doctor will check his prostate, and he might die of testicular cancer. Biologically he’s a male for life. Nothing can change that. Nothing!
He can wear a dress, use female pronouns and have long hair to attempt to fit the social constructs of being a female, but he’ll always be trans, never a woman. These literally aren’t even skin deep alterations.
Is a white person who identifies as black is black? No they aren’t.
Good for her. This is a positive step towards trans inclusion and I'd like to see way more of it. No need to qualify them as trans, they are just women.

Asians with perfect GPAs who are denied acceptance to Harvard just have to identify as being black and they are in like Flint.
It’s not transphobia to disagree with him not being a real woman! Your woke ideology does not trump biology, and it does not trump my right to having my own option and voicing it. He’s a transgender male to female, not a woman! It’s an insult to real woman to call transgender people women. Have some respect for the women of the world! A man cannot simply decide one day to be a woman anymore than a white personal decide to be black.
if someone wants to be trans they should be proud to be trans and fight for trans rights, not try to pretend to be a woman.

Why so defensive. If someone born female now identified as male I don't get all whiny about it and I believe that are just as male as me. It goes both ways, one isn't any different than the other.
Might not be happening. Riley Gaines is now saying that the scholarship has possibly been rescinded by UW.
It's alleged that @UWVolleyball rescinded the scholarship from the male vying to play with the women. Sources say the coaches had NO idea he is a male.
He and his family concealed his sex throughout the entering recruiting process.
Calling this person a woman is transphobic. This person is transgender. It’s transphobic to deny this person’s transgender status by calling this person a woman.
