the source for this "article" is an unsourced tweet from december I suspect we'll know if Washington pulled the offer in the summer of 2025 when Tate either does or doesn't appear on the roster. |

Don’t think it will be something that you will have to wait on, pretty sure the ship has already sailed. Breitbart News did receive an email from the student’s mother…who confirmed that “Tate will not be playing volleyball for the University of Washington.” |

I don't know how that would tell you whether they ever offered a place on the team at all. All we have on that is a post from the player herself. |

It's pretty rare for a recruit to post a commitment without an offer. Not impossible I suppose, but certainly doesn't seem like the most likely scenario. |

That is literally the only allowable posting for commitments until NLIs are signed. Yes, she had an offer. Yes, it was revoked. She is attempting to restart her recruiting process, but the publicity surrounding this is making it difficult. Hopefully, she finds a place that will honor their commitment and she will get to continue her career that she has worked so hard for. |

When Tate first posted her commitment on Instagram, Tui and other coaches plus a few players reposted it on their Instagram Story. Many friends congratulated her. An offer was in place. |

I agree, it is troubling. It would seem to contradict the university's own policy on gender identity. registrar.washington.edu/students/personal-data/gender-identity/ |

Washington WAS aware that tate was trans
They rescinded due to the backlash
TBH, I dont KNOW where I stand on the issue. I dont lean either way. I think its entirely possible for a trans women to play womens sports, depending on hormone levels, when they began transitioning etc.
but also its entirely possible that it causes an unfair advantage in certain cases.
its hard to say.
HOWEVER, Washington pulling out last minute cause the backlash and the NASTY comments from people, including some on this board are deplorable.

Not sure how this specific case turns out, but have an extended family member that is trans. He is currently in his mid-30's. Thing is he appears to be floundering both career-wise and personally. Family is accepting, but there is a lot more involved than family acceptance. Not sure what the future holds for him, but his opportunities appear diminishing. People have tried to help, but that never seems to work out. At some point, the individual must forge their own path. It appears he has forged a difficult path for himself. Is that on him or society? IDK, just know it appears difficult and he is increasingly unhappy and angry.

I hope your family member is able to persevere and see a path forward that sees them happier and successful. |

And any judgement, no matter how well meaning, can and will be blasted by opposition.
The "easy" way out is: if you have a Y chromosome (or multiple), you're disqualified from women's athletics.
