It is indeed sickening how the U of Montana sports info office are lionizing Eastwood on the gogriz website as that image illustrates. Or rather lionessing Eastwood, I guess I should say.

However, even amongst those heavily invested in promoting Eastwood as a trailblazing example of the new breed of stunning and brave women, not everyone appears entirely convinced.

Last month before Eastwood was named "Big Sky Female Athlete of the Week," I noticed that even as the Griz sports press office was touting Eastwood as a woman, the articles on the gogriz website about Eastwood's current-season race achievements in women's x-country that specifically mention the athlete's name in the headlines were still all appearing on web pages clearly labelled "Men's Cross Country."

What's more's, this categorization was not a one-off. It was repeated in both the datelines and URLs for each story:

Headline of October 4 story: "Griz sweep, Eastwood wins"

Dateline: Men's Cross Country 10/4/2019 10:13:00 PM Montana Sports Information.

The URL says: news/2019/10/4/mens-cross-country-griz-sweep-eastwood-wins

Headline of October 19 story: "Eastwood second, women golden in California"

Dateline: Men's Cross Country 10/19/2019 12:45:00 PM Montana Sports Information

The URL says: news/2019/10/19/mens-cross-country-eastwood-second-women-golden-in-california

It was only when Eastwood was named "Big Sky Female Athlete of the Week" on October 22 that the gogriz website finally began categorizing current-season stories that name Eastwood in the headlines as news about "Women's Cross Country" rather than as news about "Men's Cross Country."

Headline of October 22 story: "Eastwood Named Big Sky Athlete of the Week"

Dateline: Women's Cross Country 10/22/2019 12:11:00 PM Montana Sports Information

The URL says: news/2019/10/22/womens-cross-country-eastwood-named-big-sky-athlete-of-the-week

Headline of November 22 story: "Eastwood, Frissell run to All-Big Sky finishes"

Dateline: Women's Cross Country 11/2/2019 3:51:00 PM Montana Sports Information

The URL says: news/2019/11/2/womens-cross-country-eastwood-frissell-run-to-all-big-sky-finishes

So far, these four stories constitute all the stories on the gogriz website about current season competition results that have Eastwood's name in the headlines. But interestingly, as I'm writing this (mid-evening November 7), the first two stories remain clearly categorized as "Men's Cross Country," whilst only the latter two are categorized as "Women's Cross Country."

This is odd given that Eastwood's decision to identify into women's sports was proudly trumpeted by the University of Montana when it publicly announced Eastwood's new ID as a woman in August. Which resulted in a flurry of fawning news stories with headlines such as "Montana cross country runner, Belgrade native to make history as transgender athlete" in The Missoulian and "Trailblazer: Assigned male at birth, Belgrade runner competing on UM women’s cross-country team" in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

Perhaps some at the Montana sports information office don't really believe that Eastwood belongs in women's sports?

Or maybe they're suggesting that despite being lauded for jumping on the transwagon and quickly being honored as Big Sky's first male "Female Athlete of the Week," Eastwood is actually more gender-fluid than trans-fixed.

Then again, maybe the the explanation is far simpler and patently obvious to anyone woke: the first two stories are really about "Women's Cross Country" but on the day they were published they identified as "Men's Cross Country."

Or perhaps someone at the Montana sports information office couldn't figure out how to categorize the Eastwood stories properly because they're still dizzy from trying to decipher the latest memo about all the eye-roll-prompting new genders:

Three lies in one sentence, congratulations.

1) He didn't take the necessary entire calendar year off. Apparently the NCAA is afraid to enforce this rule, but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't follow the rules.

2) Please provide any proof that he has significantly reduced his testosterone levels for a long time. The NCAA isn't doing any tests and they have no limits, a doctor just has to sign a paper. If he took once one birth control pill, he would technically have reduced his testosterone levels.

3). He is a XY male, this is impossible to change. And by the way, he also has balls and a d!ck.

Another hater who wants to offend Jonathan by calling him a hu-man?

The term "Calendar Year" is often misused. The obvious intent is 12 months so someone inserting "calender" by mistake is meaningless. By your logic, if she had started her treatment on January 1st, it would be 2 years before she would become eligible.

About a week ago, I posted on one of the 10 or so other Eastwood threads about how much fun I'm having watching this situation unfold, both in terms of June's actual participation/results (larger but more occasional fun) and you folk's postings and ravings on here (smaller but more frequent fun).

And Lord have mercy, guys. Now you're arguing over whether a year and a calendar year are different or the same! Keep it up! I'm loving every minute of this! Don't ever change, don't ever stop! Maybe June is a "calendar female" instead of a "female!" I'm dying!

Don't worry, it's one of the paid shills from the well funded trans lobby.

They try to gaslight us. It's like in the book 1984. Forcing us to call a man a woman or changing the meaning of words, it's no different than making us say that 2+2=5. Facts, laws or definitions don't matter to them, they will impose their Newspeak upon us.

NCAA rules require that transgender athletes undergo one “calendar year of testosterone suppression treatment” but do not have any formal guidelines to try to ensure a level playing field. At the moment, there is no independent verification and no maximum testosterone level permitted. That needs to change.

Jonathan was still competing as a man in April 2018. Jonathan competed in September 2019 suddenly as a woman. So it's impossible that he underwent an entire calendar year, starting on January 1, of testosterone suppression treatment. There's only one conclusion possible: Jonathan is a CHEATER.

Relevant question - what is the lodging arrangement when Montana Griz are on the road?

Does Juniper get her own room? Does she bunk with head coach Clint May or assistant Maryn Lowry?

The lodging arrangement would be most telling whether Juniper is male or female.

Discus?

In many circles today, simply raising such obvious, common-sense questions would be considered "violence" that proves you're a transphobic, hateful bigot out to deny that trans people exist, deprive them of their human rights and cause them "harm." And it's enough to cause woke scolds on social media to admonish you to "Do better!" and to type "trans women are women" in caps at you dozens of times before blocking you and slating you to be publicly called out as a Nazi and "cancelled."

If you happen to be a woman asking such questions on Facebook, Twitter, reddit or other social media - perhaps because you're worried that your teen daughter might be at risk of impregnation by a "transbian" bunkmate who has elected to keep "her" male genitals as nearly all "transwomen" nowadays do - you'll also be inundated with death and rape threats from young males claiming to be women. Many of whom will come back with such ladylike retorts as, "if you question whether I'm a woman, you can suck my dxxk" and "choke on my girl cxxk." (See the website terfisaslur for "receipts.")

So it's good that you raised these questions on one of the few online forums where discussion of these issues is still allowed.

There's nothing on the U of Montana website about lodging arrangements for trans members of traveling sports teams. It seems dorm rooms, bathrooms and shower facilities at the school are still generally sex-segregated. However, students who wish to do so can opt to live in the "Gender Inclusive Community." This is a floor in Miller Hall set aside to "offer an environment that acknowledges the importance of identity and allows students to live on a floor where room placement and roommate assignments are made regardless of sex or gender identity/expression. The communal bathroom and shower room with individual stalls will be used by all residents of the floor regardless of sex or gender."

For more concrete answers to your questions, I turned to the NCAA document spelling out its transgender policy. Page 21 states:

Facilities Access

1. Changing Areas, Toilets, Showers — Transgender student-athletes should be able to use the locker room, shower, and toilet facilities in accordance with the student’s gender identity. Every locker room should have some private, enclosed changing areas, showers, and toilets for use by any athlete who desires them. When requested by a transgender student-athlete, schools should provide private, separate changing, showering, and toilet facilities for the student’s use, but transgender students should not be required to use separate facilities.

2. Competition at Another School — If a transgender student-athlete requires a particular accommodation to ensure access to appropriate changing, showering, or bathroom facilities, school leaders, athletic directors, and coaches, in consultation with the transgender student-athlete, should notify their counterparts at other schools prior to competitions to ensure that the student has access to facilities that are comfortable and safe. This notification should maintain the student’s confidentiality. Under no circumstances should a student-athlete’s identity as a transgender person be disclosed without the student’s express permission.

3. Hotel Rooms — Transgender student-athletes generally should be assigned to share hotel rooms based on their gender identity, with a recognition that any student who needs extra privacy should be accommodated whenever possible.

Note that in #2, the only student to be consulted is the trans one; and disclosing that a trans student will be in the opposite-sex locker room to the other students using that locker room is expressly prohibited.

This is typical of "trans inclusive" policies in many schools these days: girls and women (and their parents in the case of HS and elementary schools) are not to be informed ahead of time that a male who identifies as female will be using the girls' or women's loos, locker rooms, showers or sleeping quarters. Similarly, boys and men (and parents) are not to be given advance notice that a female who identifies as a male will be using facilities meant for boys and men.

Significantly, the NCAA published its "Transgender Handbook" in 2011, five years before the Obama administration sent out its infamous 2016 "advisory letter" to educational institutions throughout the US, dictating that all schools must now "treat a student’s gender identity as the student’s sex for purposes of Title IX and its implementing regulations."

Following Obama's executive decree rewriting and gutting Title IX, more robust "trans inclusive" policies were put in place by school administrators across the US. Most of the newer policies are stricter than the NCAA policy written in 2011. For example, the part in #3 where it says that trans students "generally" should be assigned hotel rooms based on their gender identity rather than their sex is inconsistent with the Obama diktat, which has been widely taken to mean that the word "generally" must be changed to "always" or struck out entirely.

Many of the "trans inclusive" policies in place in schools as well as in other public institutions and private businesses today say that anyone who has a problem with trans-identified persons using amenities and accommodations meant for the opposite sex should themselves be given the option of using separate facilities, sent for training to be educated about the new ethos of "inclusivity," and/or simply told that if they can't get with the new program then they can haul their bigoted, phobic butts out of there and go home.

But in school settings, most affected students who object are afraid to say so because they know they'll be shamed and denounced for resisting "progress" and not putting the needs, wishes and demands of trans people and especially transwomen like Eastwood first.
