There is currently no registered occurrence of a university or university in the United States that has to pay financial damage to women’s athletes to put a man on their sports team. There are lawsuits on similar situations that are underway seeking financial damage, but no one has been put forward to the point of injuries being paid.
Documents obtained by Pakinomist Digital stated that six female swimmers at the Roanoke College team applied for May’s travel courses that were run by school three days before a press conference took place where some expressed their dissatisfaction with having a transgender swim on their team.
“Two weeks after the press conference, Roanoke rejected professors in charge of Japan and Greece travel conditions the female swimmers ‘applications,” Miyares’ findings said.
The documents noted that VHRA blocked “illegal discrimination and retaliation from educational institutions on the basis of sex” and that “no educational institution” can “refuse, detain from or refuse” any housing, benefits or privileges on the basis of sex. “Any implementation of a discriminatory policy will be considered discrimination under the law.
The Office of the Attorney General in Virginia therefore said that Roanoke College’s policy “, forcing women who participate in sex-signed collegial sports to compete against people with the biological benefits of male puberty, deprive these women of accommodation, benefits and privileges made available to others on the basis of sex and infringement.” In addition, biological men discriminate against competing against women against women and that VHRA would prevent biological men from competing against women at the college level.
Pakinomist Digital reached Roanoke College for comment.
The Roanoke-Window Season 2023 was shaken by a month-long conflict between the players and the administration about the presence of the trans-athlete. The controversy culminated at a news conference in October of that year when several women’s swimmers on the team talked about their experience in public.
The athletes who spoke originally claimed that they were feeling pressured by school to support the transsexual swimmer because the trans -athlete expressed potential suicide trends in response to resistance. The female swimmers claimed that team coach held a meeting where the athletes voted in an online vote on whether the athlete should give the athlete who were in the same room to stay on the team. The vote adopted, but the women claim that some of them voted “yes” out of pressure to do so.
