Lots of women left to join the open division instead, and now the women's club are complaining about losing their best rowers.
Be transphobic, lose support.
That's the conses of your quences, folks.
@therivercrow Lmao

@therivercrow I love rowing. It's the only exercise machine I've considered buying because the old folks center where I work out doesn't have one, or room for one.
Were I in college, and rowing, I would have joined the walkout. Good for them.

@floofpaldi @therivercrow I love it too.

@therivercrow i’m a trans masters rower and the rowing community is generally very good with gender stuff!
over the winter there was a scare that trans women would be banned from rowing entirely, but us rowing essentially said that they will never check or respond to any reports that a rower is trans and should be disqualified. also pretty much all of the regattas have rejected that policy entirely. also my team and coaches said that they would openly defy the ban if it came to it.
also the coxswains (the people who steer the boat and give instructions and who dont contribute with their muscles but absolutely contribute to the boats speed) dont have to be the same gender as the rowers. so cis men have won medals in women’s events at the olympics ever since 2020, and cis women have won medals in men’s events.@echosystemname @therivercrow may you hold fast to that for as long as it is necessary.

I rowed as an undergraduate, but that was before transition.

It's a wonder that the Uni code of conduct would even allow that to happen.

The terves really can't understand that most people don't consider trans women the enemy, and they're going to pick their friends over the bigots.

i wonder what the Latin version of "they fucked around, they found out" is.
