Who is this person?

They appear to be a person concerned with making a mockery of female swimming.

Since that is now harder with the US governing body passing responsibility to the regional bodies for who is permitted to swim based on sex characteristics.

Basically they are quitting in a huff because they are not getting their way anymore.

So no-one of particular note, just another TRA who is having a stroppy moment.

This person identifies as transfeminine and this term is being used more frequently. It's interesting that as awareness grows that 'trans woman' means male that the language is taking another shift in an effort to obscure reality.

Reality still doesn't change though!

AS I understand it:

In a nutshell, The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a nonprofit organization that regulates student athletes from up to 1,268 North American institutions and conferences. It also organises the athletic programs of colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and helps over 480,000 college student athletes who compete annually in college sports. (Thank you Wiki). In other words, in the context of swimming, they organise inter state/ inter college galas.

Their previous policy was to allow any trans athlete with 1 year of T suppression to compete in any event, and they would boycott states with "anti trans" legislation. Obviously that would have a knock on effect on state colleges and the prestige/income that comes with having their students compete at elite level. So forcing individual state colleges to adhere to the trans inclusion policy in order to compete, even if they don't agree to it.

NCAA are now saying it is up to individual states/ colleges to decide who will be able to compete in galas they are running and entering, and I assume will no longer be exercising their boycott based on individual state and college trans policies/exclusion. I assume this is clearly because they have realised that the Lia Thomases of this world are going to destroy any meaningful concept of women's swimming.

Person stropping off in this article is some sort of inclusion officer with the NCAA, who wants to destroy women's sport by having/restoring a blanket inclusion policy for transwomen across all states and the boycotting of non adherents. They can FOTTFSOF.

But with the increasing awareness that "trans" means "not", it remains just as accurate in most cases.

This person is nonbinary transfeminine. What sex is that these days?

Consults notes: hmm, I think the sex would be male.

There have been a few MSM reports on this recently with many reiterations of the "this is complicated" line. The stomping off of this official reinforces that most people are dancing around very petulant people who seem to think throwing tantrums and picking up your toys and leaving is how to handle questions that don't toe the gender woo line (which changes with the wind: example "transfeminine"). I'm going to start naming them transfeminists.

Really, how surprising

Yes, surprising! bust.com/author/42750-dorian-rhea-debussy-ph-d.html

I wonder what them’s PhD is in?

Surprisingly, not in biology: kenyoncollegian.com/features/2021/11/get-to-know-associate-director-of-odei-dorian-r-debussy/

Why did they choose to name theyself after a flightless bird?

I'm sorry, but that head tilt! So studied feminism to understand how to be misogynistic! I'm wondering what I can come out as to be the first in something.

FemaleAndLearning the first to come out as....

Seems this individual has quite a few other roles, including heading up a women’s centre to keep busy.

This is good news. I hope the NCAA keeps holding firm and refuses to toe the trans line.

And what damage have they already been inflicting behind the scenes?

There might be a political element to this as well. Although it's probably sarcastic, I've seen multiple comments on Twitter saying that everytime Lia swims, The Democrats lose 10 Senate seats. Obviously no (political) science truth or evidence behind that, but it does point to the now increasingly apparent fear that Democrat supporters have that the mid-term Senate Elections later this year are going to be catastrophic.

And someone will need blaming, and The Democrat Party won't fancy blaming itself, so it will be casting a net to find someone or something to blame. I imagine the NCAA will be caught in that net.

Hence the NCAA's desperate efforts to shift responsibility to the individual States and colleges (universities in our speak) The Ivy League, The Women's Sports Foundation...anyone it can blame, rather than being left holding the parcel come November. Indeed this is a game of pass-the-parcel, when likely State legislatures will try to divest responsibility onto colleges, back to the NCAA, and they'll be trying to do the same. Then the clock will run out in November and whoever is lumbered with responsibility, gets the blame. At-the-moment I think The Ivy League and Women's Sports Foundation will be likely left carrying-the-can, having not realised in time that everyone else has distanced themselves from supporting Thomas.

I suspect that this 'they' has seen the writing-on-the-wall and realises they have to get away from NCAA, just to be sure they don't slip on all the spilled blood.

Would I sound overly old and grumpy if I made appalled noises at the industry that has grown up around this? How many professional TRAs are there working full time in well paid jobs that specialise in trans inclusion? This has to be the best funded disadvantaged group ever

Everytime Lia Swims, the Democrats lose 10 Senate seats. Obviously no (political) science truth or evidence behind that, but it does point to the now increasingly apparent fear that Democrat supporters have that the mid-term Senate Elections later this year are going to be catastrophic.

I've been head deep in the pulse of independent and leftist voters and their comments, focus groups, and polls show they are sick of every other topic being transgender focused (race is another sticking point). But despite their readers' opinions, the news media have a strong bias on this one issue and the Democratic policy strategists seem to have their heads in the sand. I'm in a panic that we will get Trump 2.0.
