HELP COMPLETE THIS LIST OF PLAYERS.

The Preserve Championship in Minnesota was one of the few #DGPT events that #NatalieRyan was allowed to compete in this year. “ICONS - Independent Council on Women’s Sports” sponsored this protest, and I’m curious about their financials/support base.

I haven’t seen anyone post a list of ICONS-supporters, so maybe we could get one going here. As a disc golf fan, I think it’s important to know where specific golfers stand on this issue.

The video linked here was led primarily by Cat and Sarah. Other than the timestamped names below, here’s who I’ve spotted: FRONT ROW: Lisa Fajkus, Vanessa Van Dyken, Stacie (Hass) Kiefer OTHERS: Stacie Rawnsley, Nathan Queen?, Gannon Buhr, Garrett Gurthie, Nikko, Ezra Aderholt?, Robert Burridge, Austin Hannum

Previously signed “Declaration” on May 8th: Emily Beach, Deann Carey, Ruby Reyes, Evelina Salonen, Henna Bloomroos, Sarah Gilpin, Valerie Mandujano https://www.reddit.com/r/discgolf/comments/13cdeu7/ryan_lawsuit_news_the_stockton_declaration_of/

    It’s definitely both power and technique.

    My partner and I both play regularly and on a lot of holes there is just no chance for her to throw as far as me based on power output.

    That being said, I thought it had been proven that there was no real physical advantage for trans women after they have been on HRT for a while, and that most of the outcry is transphobia.

      I don’t know the degree to which that’s been proven. I’ve seen some misleading articles and posts whose content mentions one specific aspect where there was no advantage and frame it as there being no advantage across the board.

      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331831/ paints a different picture. Muscle mass and blood efficiency were lower in adults with reduced testosterone, but if the individual continued exercising their muscle mass was still higher than cis women, and other aspects like skeletal structure were unaffected by adult testosterone levels.
