The women of the Roanoke College swim team have spoken out about their months of opposition to the school’s decision to allow a transgender athlete to join their team. The women ultimately won this battle, but they said the war against women’s sports continues and it’s time the NCAA stood up for them instead of the radical trans agenda.
Members of the women’s swim team and their parents and supporters attended an Oct. 5 school meeting to advocate for fairness. They demanded that the school and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the national body that governs college sports, finally come forward to protect women’s sports from the incursion of trans athletes.
“My feelings, our team’s feelings and comfort were blatantly ignored and only one athlete was prioritized. I felt unheard and unseen. Our comfort was undervalued and discarded,” Roanoke College swim team captain Kate Pearson said during the meeting, according to WFXR-TV.
