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

    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.”
