Nicole Powers used to compete against women — but Powers came to the realization that it was unfair.
Powers is a transgender woman who has golfed against biological females. Powers has also competed in many other sports.
“I had to take a step back and realize that biological realities are real and competitive advantages will always exist despite the number of years or whatever surgeries and hormones you’ve done, and then understood that my place is not in women’s sports,” Powers said in a recent interview with OutKick. Powers said coaches and other competitors have even said, “‘You belong here.’ And even with me saying, ‘No, I don’t,’ they still are continuing to try to force the agenda that, ‘You’re a trans woman; we’re going to keep championing you in women’s sports.'”

Unlike the others in his foursome.
Sometimes, it takes a big man to admit he’s not a woman, and never will be one.
Had to check 3 times to make sure it’s not the Bee.!
It takes balls to make a decision like this.
I appreciate his decision. Well, this one at least. 😅
Is this the guy that the women golfers all decline to have in their tournaments?
This is not an insult but a flat reality.
I am glad you figured it out.
There are apparently guys who like being eunuchs and that is weird but as long as they are: over 25 and have been properly counseled and do not declare they are "women", ok. I do not approve but there are a lot of things I do not approve of that people do.
Just stay on the men's side of the house.
He’s not a so called transgender. He’s just a transvestite, like 99% of the so called transgenders... no protected status for you!
It wasn’t fair when it came to using the big stick.
He was playing half-cocked.
I think the tragic rise of transgender ism has been due in a large part to the relentless tax on men over the past 80 years. The government schools with their Marxist indoctrination methods have destroyed so many men. There must be trials and punishment for these evil lunatics.
Attacks, not tax.

Yes, “trans” persons should not be kept out of competitive sports; they should be allowed to compete with others of THEIR SAME BIOLOGICAL SEX. Period.
Yes, it means some female pretending (”trans”) to be a male, could compete with biological females, and a male pretending (”trans) to be girl, could with bilogical males. That is not “keeping them out of sports”, just out of NOT comepeting with persons of the opposite bilogoical SEX. It is all about biological sex, not any so called “social construct” (how you “feel”) of “gender”.
interesting...this story came out yesterday.. about “Hailey” Davidson.

They go to the trouble to use five syllables to say "man."
Well, finally a transgender person with some integrity.
You know what’s funny? A TAX made sense to me.
something unfair and brutal and unrelenting (not all the time, of course).
Attacks works too :)
Well said! Big brass ones.
