Good on her! 😊
Good for her! It did take guts to take the knee as I’m sure she’s being doxxed and harassed for her “primitive” stance.
How soon before a “big award” comes from the courts and is codified.
That’ll end the idiocy. Ladies will be begging for trans opponents.
Why “take a knee?”
I know its become a 21st century woke form of protest, but it is traditionally is an act of submission.
Just throw your gear down, tell the judge and male opponent to FOAD and walk away.
Attorney General Ken Paxton Announces Investigation into
USA Fencing for Violating State Law
AUSTIN - Attorney General Ken Paxton is announcing an investigation and issuing a Civil Investigative Demand (”CID”) to USA Fencing over potential violations of Texas state law.
USA Fencing recently disqualified a female competitor, Stephanie Turner, for bravely taking a knee instead of competing against a biological male.
The investigation will uncover documents related to USA Fencing potentially engaging in false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices.
“USA Fencing is on the wrong side of history and potentially the wrong side of the law due to violations of Texas consumer protection laws,” said Attorney General Paxton. “USA Fencing’s policies are not only potentially illegal, but also deeply insulting to the young women like Stephanie Turner who have sacrificed so much and dedicated countless hours to compete and succeed in competitions. I will fight to stop these unfair policies, and I will never back down from defending the integrity of women’s sports.”
Recognition and $5K is very nice, but giving this young lady an Ad agreement to represent the Brand for a few years would have been even better. Design a pair of running pants named for her. Still, this is a very important step for women to take back ownership of their competitive Sports, whether certain committees back them up or not.
hopefully it trends...
Great news! She’s a hero in my book.
Because of her courage, others will be standing up against the bastards.
Congratulations Ms. Turner. YOU ARE THE WINNER. I admire your courage and fortitude. Continue to always stand up and you’ll always be a winner.
Let's hope. The sanity seems to be gaining momentum which will help others stand up.
👍
The bended knee approach could be what her generation is most familiar with (Kaepernick). To many young athletes, the bended knee may represent
“peaceful rebellion’ vs acting out justified anger,
removing their shoe and ‘pistol whipping’ the referee for adhering to such ridiculous (Trans demands will always get First Priority!) rules.
Kudos to her and the clothing company that gave her an award for it
“…and create inclusive, safe spaces.”
Tell that to the girl with brain damage as a result of a man playing in her sport.
I thought that would be the result...sponsorship...5K? Meh.
Dear USA Fencing. F*** inclusion and F*** you. Sincerely, The Sane.
More actual women need to do this. Stop cross dressers from taking/stealing money out of their wallets. ‘XX’ or ‘XY’! No ‘x?’!
I’m not 100% sure but I think it is part of fencing rules. Basically “I quit”.
XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey was a high-level executive at Levi Company and in line for a promotion prior to Covid. She made the mistake of publicly questioning the closing of schools over a virus that had little effect on children. She was promptly “canceled” as was her promotion.
Sey then left Levi’s to form her own clothing company called XX-XY.
