A fierce rift has erupted at Angel City FC after star midfielder Elizabeth Eddy boldly demanded that only female-born athletes compete in women’s soccer.
Eddy issued a clear, no-nonsense challenge: preserve women’s sports or watch them dissolve into chaos.
She laid out two airtight solutions. First: restrict eligibility to athletes born with ovaries. Second: adopt an SRY-gene test, the same gold-standard protocols enforced by World Athletics and elite boxing federations.
These proposals aren’t radical—they’re rooted in biology, fairness, and respect for female competitors who have trained their entire lives to excel on a level playing field.
Eddy didn’t mince words. “Fairness and inclusion are core American values,” she declared. “But inclusion must never erode the integrity of women’s sports.”
Unsurprisingly, a vocal minority within her own locker room cried foul. Teammate Sarah Gorden labeled Eddy’s stance “transphobic and racist,” insisting the call for genetic standards “hurts and harms” players.
Gorden’s hyperbolic reaction betrays the real issue: fear of confronting inconvenient truths. Biology isn’t negotiable because someone feels marginalized.
Angel City defender Angelina Anderson echoed the outrage, praising Los Angeles as a bastion of inclusivity and warning that Eddy’s proposals threaten the club’s founding ideals.
But inclusivity without fairness is a hollow slogan. Real inclusion demands clear rules that protect every female athlete’s right to compete on equal terms.
The National Women’s Soccer League, caught in the crossfire, announced it will “work directly” with the Players Association to overhaul gender-eligibility policies. That’s a promising start—but words alone won’t safeguard women’s sports.
Republicans and conservatives stand firmly behind Elizabeth Eddy. We will not cede women’s categories to male-born athletes. We demand policies grounded in science, not in political correctness.
Time is running out. The NWSL must adopt unambiguous gender standards now—or risk losing its credibility, its competitive integrity, and the trust of female athletes everywhere.
