Let's talk about how college sports recruiting works! Because it doesn't work like this!
Coaches do not google "who won this event" and then offer them scholarships. They look at stats. Video. They scout. Not every disappointment in an athlete's life is the fault of trans ppl
NEWS ALERT: ‘Fastest girl in Connecticut’ Chelsea Mitchell suing state after they forced her to compete against transgender athletes who she had no chance of beating and cost her multiple scholarship opportunities.
