Last year I told my story publicly and was removed from my position as Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach.
Athletes, coaches and staff were asked not to communicate with me. I was recently asked, “would you do it again?”
Absolutely. I will always fight for women.

The new Title IX rewrite would mean:
1) men would take women's academic/athletic scholarships
2) men would have full access to locker rooms/bathrooms/changing spaces on campus
3) men could join sororities (which is already happening)
4) men would be randomly housed in dorm
Months ago, California had at least 44 Male inmates in Women’s Prisons. Rapes, pregnancies & women being terrorized & living in constant fear. This is where we are.
@KamalaHarris
- can you address this? YOU have been in leadership while this has been happening.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections has allowed at least FIVE male inmates to transfer to a women's prison, including two sex offenders.
One of the transfers is serving a 36-year sentence for sexually assaulting two 6-year-old girls.

Ok Massachusetts…
You didn’t learn from the field hockey injury this fall…
This is yet another example of why males shouldn’t be competing in girl’s sports. What’s it going to take? It’s getting worse. How many girls have to get injured by BOYS playing on GIRLS teams?
Trans-identified male player for Kipp Academy in MA injured 3 girls before half time causing Lowell Collegiate Charter School to forfeit.
A man hitting a woman used to be called domestic abuse. Now it's called brave.

This is heart breaking! Mutilating & sterilizing children is now seen as ok & children can walk into clinics & get hormones with no medical background check, no endocrinologist in the clinic, no parents!!
Women can’t get hormone therapy for menopause covered by insurance.
The numbers are growing rapidly. I spoke with a HS girls soccer coach in Delaware yesterday. There are boys playing on girls teams everywhere. Every athlete, coach and administrator is been told to “be quiet”. Find your voice. Stand for truth.
The loudest voices are collegiate, post collegiate and middle school - yes - middle school female athletes. Where are the adults? Coaches, administrators, parents - YOU are teaching girls to be silent!! You are teaching girls that it’s ok for men to be in their locker rooms.
