    WOAH! Allies?! ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN JUST VAGUELY TWEETING THEIR SUPPORT FOR ONCE?! Well, I’ll be damned.

    Ok, so, me being a shithead aside, this is very cool and I’m very thankful. For real. <3

    They’re really trying to take everything back to the 1950s: civil rights, women’s rights and corruption in government. Interesting.

        I’m not blaming the fencing community, they’re really stuck. I’m blaming the fascist government currently in power.

        The division explained its decision as a temporary measure while seeking resolution: “We are currently seeking guidance on how to move forward without violating either [the USA Fencing policy or the Minnesota Human Rights act]. Due to this, only mixed events will be sanctioned at this time.”

    I see many of the comments are knee-jerk and they did not read the article where the Minnesota division states: “Trans and nonbinary fencers belong here, and we see you.”
