A New York Times reporter has come under fire for referring to biological women as “non-transgender women.”
The author discussed testosterone levels and men in women's sports, specifically Blair (Brayden) Fleming, a San Jose State University men's volleyball player who plays on the SJSU women's volleyball team.
At 6'1'' tall, Fleming has a clear strength and athletic advantage over women, a fact noticed by countless athletes who have shared the court with him. That included teammate Brooke Slusser, who told Blades News that Fleming's “power” was “like nothing I've ever seen before.”
Fleming's participation led to Boise State (twice), Nevada, Southern Utah, Utah State and Wyoming canceling games.
“This is a deeply insulting act to billions of women around the world.”
New York Times writer Juliet McCool refused to give name However, the athlete said that “she” “has not publicly acknowledged her identity and has declined requests for interviews.”
The most controversial part of the article was when the author discussed NCAA rules regarding hormone levels and transgender athlete participation.
The excerpt, which angered many women, reads:
The NCAA states on its website that trans volleyball players are eligible to play if their testosterone levels are less than 10 nanomoles per liter. This is at least four times higher than what many experts say is the highest testosterone level for non-transgender women. This is within the typical range for an adult male.
This reference to women as “non-transgender” is similar to how real women online are, as if men believing themselves to be women or undergoing surgery to look like women are actually the norm. This caused a commotion with the others.
British Olympian Sharon Davies said She felt this was proof that transgenderism was a “men's rights movement.”
“circleOmen is now a non-transgender woman! amazing! I will never understand how anyone can say this is not a men's rights movement, yet women lose rights, language, protections, sports, sex discrimination laws… I will never understand. ”
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova even wrote “#VoteBlue” on her X profile. very angry To excerpt:
”[New York Times] you stink We are women, not transgender women. In the future, it will only be women. ”
Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace simply called the article:B.S.”Meanwhile, Chaya Reichik said She said she felt insulted through the popular TikTok account Libs.
“Hey [New York Times]I am not a “non-transgender woman.” I'm a woman. An adult human female. This is extremely insulting to billions of women around the world. ”
Many other “non-transgender” women took photos for the outlet, some simply calling the publication “.”joke. ”
Another woman said the New York Times made her up. ”unrelated“This kind of language, whereas a woman named Katie, that kind of language.”erasure of women. ”
