Both Riley Gaines Barker and Collin Rugg posted a story which just plain sounds fishy to me. From Mr Rugg:

REPORT: A male volleyball player apparently snuck his way into a full women’s athletic scholarship to the University of Washington after concealing his biological gender since 12

Tate Drageset has verbally committed to play on Washington’s women’s volleyball team

One problem: Drageset is a male.

Drageset is the first known biological male to receive a full athletic scholarship for a women’s sport.

According to a report by Reduxx, Drageset’s transgender identity was hidden from the public, parents and even coaches for years.

One source says suspicions were raised when Drageset was 12 and playing against 14 year old females.

Drageset’s mom Stacey appears to be a far-leftist who was convinced her son was transgender since he was a toddler and published a children’s book on gender identity.

Mrs Barker’s story is shorter, but tells us the same thing. Here was their source:

EXCLUSIVE: Transgender Athlete Makes Verbal Commitment To Seize One Of Just Twelve Women’s Volleyball D1 Scholarships At The University of Washington

By Anna Slatz | Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Tate Drageset

Reduxx has learned that a volleyball player from California is reportedly set to become the first known male recipient of a women’s Division 1 (D1) athletic scholarship. Tate Drageset, 17, has verbally committed to the University of Washington, and, if the offer is signed next fall, he would be seizing one of only twelve D1 volleyball scholarships available for females at the University.

The announcement of Drageset’s verbal commitment to the University of Washington was made in June to much fanfare within the volleyball community, with multiple sporting magazines and social media accounts covering the verbal commitment.

Drageset has long been considered a rising star within women’s volleyball, and he was the dominant force on two USA Volleyball teams in two separate age groups that both claimed national titles last summer. He was also named an MVP at the Girls Junior National Championships earlier this year. In addition to his club volleyball accolades, he was awarded the title of the California Interscholastic Federation’s Division 5 Player of the 2022-23 Year.

But Drageset’s transgender status has reportedly been concealed from public knowledge, with coaches, parents, and opposing players being left uninformed of his biological sex ahead of games.

Now, for the first time, a source close to the situation has anonymously come forward to reveal concerns about the steady escalation of Drageset’s participation in women’s volleyball, something which has now resulted in him preparing to take a rare, all-expenses-paid athletic scholarship opportunity

If Drageset’s verbal commitment is finalized, it will result in a male seizing one of just twelve D1 scholarships intended for women’s volleyball at the University of Washington. The twelve scholarships are often spread out over the course of four years, with as few as two to three being offered per year.

There’s more at the original.

I certainly concede that the story could be true, but just the name “Drageset” starts to scream, “Fake!” How, I have to ask, did young Mr Drageset manage to conceal his sex since he was 12? Does the school have no bathrooms? Did the volleyball team have no locker room? Was there no one who remembered hin as a boy before age 12?

And it wasn’t just his schools. The Reduxx report states that he played and was the dominant force in two separate age group USA Volleyball teams. That means two more team opportunities in which the girls on the team would have noticed that he wasn’t a girl.

As I stated, the story could be true, but I can easily see the transgender lobby setting up a scam to discredit Mrs Barker, Mr Rugg, and the sensible people in this country who do not believe that girls can be boys and boys can be girls.

I’ll wait to see more before I believe this story.
