ROWING

This section provides context and methodology details for the data presented:

• **Data Scope:** This table focuses exclusively on competitive results where a Male athlete participated in an event or competition originally intended for female athletes. This applies to events specifically labeled "female", "women" or "girls" or events that were originally female-only but have been changed to mixed sex to be "inclusive" of some males, but continue to exclude other males who do not claim to be women. This includes events labeled "women+" or similar. Events that are mixed but in which there are specific limits on the number of male and female athletes per team and in which the male athlete has taken a "female" position, such as mixed doubles in tennis, are also included.
• **Link Verification:** The provided links are to external sources. These sources include official results directly from the event webpages, sites that aggregrate athletic results from various organizations (such as MileSplit.com), news stories, and social media posts from team and athlete accounts. Archived links (Ar.) are provided in the case that these results are removed or websites are no longer functional. Not all pages were able to be archived. When possible, archived links can most often be found in the second (2) link.
• **Athlete Verification:** Athletes have been verified as male through the use of public sources: news articles, personal declarations from the athletes, name changes, past photos, and other public records including job history, school records, and family records. In the case of males with DSDs, athletes are included if they have previously failed a sex/gender test.
• **Athlete Identification:** "DSD" refers to male athletes with a disorder of sexual development. These athletes are male but may have been mistaken for female at birth due to underdeveloped male genitalia. "Trans-identified" refers to male athletes who have had healthy male development but deny that they are men and boys and claim to be something else, typically "women" or "nonbinary". "Other" refers to males who do not belong in either of the former categories but participate on female teams due to rule exceptions.
• **Sorting:** The table is sorted by **Date (newest first)** by default.

Other Notes:

• "1st (of 1)" and "1st of 2 Males" are counted in the overall 1st place totals. "Semi-finals", "2nd (of 2) Males", "2nd (of 2)", and "3rd (of 3)" are counted in top 3 finishes (as these finishers often stand on the podium and recieve medals).
• Mixed events are included below as mixed teams are required to have a certain number of male vs. female rowers. Male rowers calling themselves female violate this arrangement.
• Several of the result sheets for male rower Will "Willow" Arts are missing the results from the finals. Placements for these events will be based on the finals seed times.
• "Marjorie" Roome has participated in women's rowing since at least 2003. Only his national championship results are available for many of the years of his participation. Because of the difficulty in procuring past results, many of his results may be missing.
• Male athlete Diego "Lazuli" Clark has reportedly participated on a girls' rowing team but was kicked off due his to sexual harrassment of female teammates in the girls' locker room (that the club allowed him to enter). It appears that he is currently registered with the Community Rowing, Inc. men's team under his given name. It is not known if this was the team he had joined previously. His rowing results are not available at this time.
• Male athlete Evan "Chloe" Anderson has reportedly participated on the women's rowing team at the University of Irvine around 2020. No results are avaliable at this time.
• Male athlete Drew Lopez switched from the men's to the women's rowing team at Tulane University in Louisiana. No results are available at this time.
• An anonymous junior female athlete has described losing her spot on the varsity women's 8+ crew to a "trans"-identified boy who had the best 2k on the "girls'" team but the worst on the boys'. Her school team is based in the Seattle area, but the team and athlete name are unknown at this time.
• An anonymous rowing athlete has confessed that a 27-year-old man in his rowing club participates on the women's team. It appears that the athlete is based in the Minneapolis area, but the name of the athlete and club are unknown at this time.
