In recent years, there has been a huge increase in men competing in women's sports after they suddenly adopt women's pronouns and grow out their hair (and maybe take a few hormone blockers as well). There have been some women who are refusing to accept this new development in American society, such as Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan, two college swimmers who openly opposed William "Lia" Thomas's participation in women's swim at the University of Pennsylvania. Coach Kim Russell, head lacrosse coach for the women's team at Oberlin College, also showed her support for protecting same-sex sports, but she was swiftly reprimanded by her superiors.
