Timeline
A brief history of males in female sport.
**Currently under development. More events coming soon.**

6-foot, 44-year old male “Christina” Ginther sues the Minnesota Vixen and the Independent Women's Football League after being denied participation in women’s tackle football due to the safety risks involved on the basis of his being male.

The jury finds that excluding Ginther from a women’s team because he is male violates the Minnesota Human Rights Act, which bars people from refusing to do business with someone else because of their sexual orientation, a case which bears no semblance to the former.

The jury awards Ginther $20,000 in damages. He joins a women's tackle football team.

Just over a month after joining the women's division, male volleyball player Rodrigo "Tifanny" Abreu breaks the women's Superliga single game scoring record against an unbeaten team with three Olympic medalists on the roster. Abreu ends the season leading the league in points per set.

At the DGPT - Discraft's Great Lakes Open, for the first time in disc golf history, the women’s first place prize money is equal to the men’s. Male disc golfer “Natalie” Ryan wins the women’s prize. Men go home with both first place prizes, women with neither.

The PDGA’s new policy regarding males in women’s disc golf goes into effect, banning males who have not had their puberty blocked from competition in the female division.

Male disc golfer “Natalie” Ryan files a lawsuit against the PDGA for what he deems a “discriminatory” practice, the exclusion of males from the female division. The DGPT offers Ryan a spot in the MPO, the men’s open competition, to compete with his male peers on the tour, but he refuses. His lawyer responds that the offer is “insulting.”

U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley grants a temporary restraining order allowing male disc golfer "Natalie" Ryan to compete the OTB Open in Stockton California.

The court notes that the PDGA regulations surrounding males competing in female sport could be ruled as “discriminatory practice.”

Female boxer Katia Bissonnette withdraws from the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship in Quebec after learning she would be facing off against male boxer "Mya" Walmsley. She was given no warning by the organizers that her opponent was male. Walmsley wins by default.

Male swimmer William "Lia" Thomas begins legal proceedings against World Aquatics for their updated policy banning males from female swimming events if they have gone through their natural male puberty. Thomas claims discrimination yet has declined to participate in the open category made to accomodate swimmers like himself.

William Bock III, member of the NCAA Committee on Infractions and former general counsel for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency resigns over the NCAA policy of allowing male athletes to compete in female sport.

16 female athletes file a class action lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing male athletes to compete in the female division and use female locker rooms at events, accusing the NCAA and the Georgia University system of violating the right to bodily privacy, Title IX, and the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

Male athlete "Becky" Pepper-Jackson takes first in both the girls’ discus and shotput at the Harrison County Middle School Championships, continuing an undefeated record in the shotput for the season. His shotput distance beat the last-place boy by over 15 feet and would have placed him 4th in the boys’ division showing no evidence of the “unfair competition” against boys cited by the judges, even if he had used the heavier boy’s weight.

Five female athletes scratch their throws in protest. They are barred from future competition.

Female darts player Deta Hedman forfeits her quarterfinal match in the women's division of the Denmark Open against male darts player "Noa-Lynn" van Leuven.
