In 1976 I was banned from playing for UMass Men's Water Polo team in New England championship tournament hosted by MIT and Harvard because I was a woman, this due to protests by men from opposing teams after I played in the first game... Ironically 50 years later at the 2026 USMS New England LMSC SCY Championships at Harvard my picture was posted on the NELMSC meet site holding an award for having broken the 100 IM national record, that picture promptly being taken down. Hmmm, I was wearing a T-Shirt with the message "Make Women's Sports XX Again." Massachusetts where I was born, raised and lived for over 40 years is one of the 23 states that "accommodates" men identifying as women to compete in women's sports. My freedom of speech seemingly violated as an extension of that accommodation.

Keep going! ❤️❤️♀️♀️

At U of Penn, in addition to the gross affront to Penn Women and to all Penn athletes, the issue also is the suppression of free speech by the president at the time, Amy Gutmann. She threatened anyone or any student or any U of P publication with certain repercussions, if they opposed her allowing a man to cheat swimming as a woman. Also, vital to the depth of this mess at Penn is this question: How much did Biden influence the president of Penn to make these immoral decisions in exchange for an ambassadorship to Germany, which in addition to the distortions of fairness and honesty, were directly opposite of all standards of Ivy League sportsmanship!?

I support Angie Griffin!

Thank you for all that you do to advocate for the preservation of the amazement that is women's sports!

Praying for all the women that have faced this outrageous theft, only you will know the sacrifice that you all made you entire life to get to where you was for it, to be robbed from you. What a shame!!!! PRAYING FOR JUSTICE!

I support you Angie. This lunacy has to stop

Stop science deniers! XY is born with advantages XX can never attain.

As an Olympian I can relate to her struggle. Throughout my 87 years I have encountered a great deal of discrimination against women athletes. Men in a women's competition is another form of discrimination.

Thank you for your courage!

Women will not be silenced and we will NOT be reduced or redefined. Stay strong.

It is crazy that US Masters thinks it's okay for a man to compete against women.

I learned a valuable lesson from my hairdresser who is gay, he was the one who taught me that there is no place for men in women sports.

As a senior swimming masters, I have definitely enjoyed my competition, but I have not competed in US masters for now for three Years. The reason is that US Master is allowing cheating in the competition. Allowing men to swim in the women’s events is clearly a violation of fairness. If US Masters wants to sponsor trans, gender competitors, they should set up a special category for transgender.
