A 17-year-old boy who claims to be a girl could become the first male athlete to receive a women’s scholarship in NCAA Division I sports, according to Reduxx.
The outlet reported Wednesday that California resident Tate Drageset made a verbal commitment to play women’s volleyball at the University of Washington in June. If he signs the offer, he will claim one of 12 scholarships available for women on the team.
Drageset, who plays for the Actyve Volleyball Club in Santa Monica, California, already has helped several girls volleyball teams to championships, according to Reduxx.
He was named the MVP at the Girls Junior National Championships and won the California Interscholastic Federation’s Division 5 Player of 2022-23.
According to the report, the transgender outside hitter’s statistics far outpace those of the girls he faces.
“When compared to same-height female athletes within his volleyball club, Drageset’s standing reach, vertical jump, and other key physical metrics are all more favorable,” said the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, a nonpartisan organization that works to protect women’s sports.
The schools and teams have carefully hidden the fact that Drageset is a boy, according to Reduxx. However, it said, upset parents have been talking about the obvious biological differences between the taller, faster and harder-hitting teen and the girls he has faced and played with.
Some have told Reduxx that they have been intimidated into remaining quiet for fear that they will be branded as hateful and their daughters will be punished by the schools.
“Everyone is scared of how their child will be treated if they speak up. It’s already so competitive to get on a good club team,” one parent said. “The stealing of positions and opportunities has been infuriating and so sad when you see how it affects the girls.

Wasn’t good enough to compete with the boys???
"I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my team won't admit it, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy!"
In a world where liberals keep making up new names for illegal aliens so they don't have to call them illegals, and colleges have too much money and need to fill spots on girls' teams, why shouldn't a confused guy pretend to be a girl and get a free education? He also gets to spend time in the girls' locker room all the time.
I wonder if Helen Reddy had all of this in mind when she sang that song.
Why do they let him do that? Who has deemed this nonsense must be? Everyone knows it’s BS, but somehow are afraid to do anything about it.
Dragaset? Names are destiny!

So just like that we went from accepting men playing women’s sports to actually incentivizing it. Up till now I thought the boys (and men) doing this were just weirdos, but with scholarships on the line that changes things. Goodbye girls sports.
Quit being scared of “how their child will be treated if they speak up” and stand up for principle. The women should refuse to participate.
They seem not to realize that the minute they allow a male into female events, the events are meaningless anyway.
The parents are literally paying for their girls to play in these leagues.
Should have an all-guys team show up. “Tranny? Sure. Let’s play.”
Male volleyball player...
This insanity just keeps marching forward. They ignore/destroy what little resistance there is and continue to shove their agenda down society’s throat.
The parents are poor excuses for parents. I feel bad for them, but they need to refocus, playing this stupid game is not good for the female athlete.

Bastards. So if this is ok why are they trying to hide it? Unfortunately the girls are going to have to fix this BS. Until they boycott en masse the cancer will spread. It’s a big ask but it is the only way. I doubt they will
The same questions can be asked about little girls playing on boys teams.
Hey, you wanted “equality” — so now you have it. If you’re equal to men in politics and the corporate C-suite, then surely you can beat them occasionally on the sports field.
#WINNING.

This is always the case.
Where are the real women who will fight this?
Until all REAL women/girls walk away from competing with these degenerates, it will only continue!
Homeless people are now called unhoused where I live.

I think that pre-puberty, when girls are often similar to boys in size and strength it really doesn’t matter as much. The kids themselves aren’t really sure of the differences. (All we knew about girls was that most had cooties, and they were transmissible through contact.) At about 6th grade, some girls can be stronger than boys. All that changes rapidly when the juice starts flowing.
The women were crying and so proud of how brave Caitlin Jenner was.
