There are a lot of reasons to take up the cause of defending the traditional understanding of womens’ sports. But none are more keenly felt than the safety of women themselves.
While TV talking heads trip over themselves to lecture us all on how this or that group faces systemic discrimination, or ‘experts’ in politics and education invoke the language of DEI to insist that special accommodation needs to be given to one or another disadvantaged group because of past injustices, what the rest of us are hearing is orchestrated excuses for an explicit rejection equality under the law.
The politicized rhetoric has our moral senses so inverted that even heinous crimes are not enough for the establishment class to justify serious prosecution or, when applicable, even deportation.
The fight in women’s sport is no different. The rights of those who want to be acknowledged as girls or women despite being born male are treated sacrosanct, and the objections of girls and women who feel violated by the presence of a male in their more vulnerable moments are ignored.
But ignoring the safety question of boys in girls spaces doesn’t make the danger go away. Just ask the teenage girls who were assaulted in Louden Country washrooms, while the grown-ups defended their attacker for fear of generating an ‘anti-trans’ narrative.
That failure of authorities to protect the safety of teenage girls in their care puts them in the same moral category as the UK officials who deliberately looked the way as the ‘grooming gangs’ sexually terrorized young girls for sport, lest the authorities be defamed as ‘racists’ for prosecuting organized sex trafficking rings that made even Jeffery Epstein’s atrocities look JV by comparison.
The public keeps calling for such gutless moral monsters to be held to account.
Alliance Defending Freedom is launching a case that might finally move us in the right direction.
It all started when 15yo Kallie Wheeler faced an opponent for the first time in her wrestling match. This match was unlike any match she’d had before.
Never before had an opponent’s hands violated her body. Never before had she wrestled against a male opponent who declared himself female. Kellie Wheeler was not informed before her match that her opponent would be male. Nor was she informed immediately after, when she reported being digitally penetrated, which isn’t merely a sports violation, but a criminal one as well.
By law, any such allegation is to be taken seriously by authorities. But for some reason, although her report was given, no action was taken by authorities until one day AFTER her complaint, and the inaction of said authorities became a news story.
Per the US Department of Education earlier this year:
In December 2025, a 16-year-old female wrestler at a District school reported being sexually assaulted during a match against a male student competing in the girls’ division. After the match, the female athlete reportedly learned her opponent was biologically male. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office has since confirmed that it has opened a criminal investigation. According to media reports, the alleged violations are ongoing and well known to school leaders, with at least a dozen female athletes having complained to administrators about the presence of two males in the girls’ locker room.
“The allegations in this case are sickening—that a female athlete was not only unknowingly forced to compete against a male in a girls-only division placing her at increased risk for sexual assault, but that her report of sexual assault during the match was ignored by Puyallup School District for months. While the District may prioritize ideological agendas over the safety and dignity of its students, the Trump Administration will not tolerate such conduct,” said Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey. “We will continue to vigorously enforce Title IX to ensure that women and girls have safe, equal access to educational programs and opportunities, and that allegations of sexual assault are addressed promptly and fully.” — DoE
The Washington State Educators that blew off her allegations (for reasons we can only surmise), are now named in legal action.
The ADF shared this video where Kallie and her mom talked about the incident, and where the details of the case were being summarized.
This post is the first in a thread that explains the case in some detail:
This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match.
Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong.
Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety. 🧵⬇️ pic.twitter.com/Oaywn4rGIk

Including screenshots of the litigation itself. For example, the names of the defendants, the fact that he groped her a second time more than a minute later, they failed to file her report for 53 days instead of following laws mandating reporting to Title IX and law enforcement within 48 hours.
We’re suing these officials for violating Kallie’s Title IX right to be protected from sex-based discrimination, and her 14th Amendment right to equal protection.
We’re also suing them for violating her mom’s parental rights, citing the recent SCOTUS ruling in Mirabelli
When authorities fear what happens to them if they protect the vulnerable more than they fear what happens to them if they abandon the vulnerable to be punished, their cowardice only compounds the injustice to the victim.
Cases like this one can leverage the self-preservation instincts of the cowards to work in service of the victims instead of perpetually bending the knee to the activist class.
