The Professional Disc Golf Association changed its regulations on transgender participation in December, which prevented Ryan from playing in the women&#8217;s division. Ryan filed a discrimination case in February, alleging that the tour&#8217;s decision was motivated by &#8220;prejudice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Court&#8217;s Decision<\/h3>\n<p>U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley granted Ryan a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-georgia-update-judge-issues-restraining-order-for-10-days-preventing-defendants-from-destroying-or-erasing-dominion-voting-machines\/\" title=\"BREAKING GEORGIA UPDATE: Judge Issues Restraining Order for 10 Days Preventing Defendants from Destroying or Erasing Dominion Voting Machines\">temporary restraining order<\/a> on Thursday, allowing the trans-player to participate. However, the tour appealed the decision on Friday and was successful, even after Ryan had already finished the first round. Ryan was then eliminated from the competition altogether after placing fifth for the day. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in its decision that &#8220;this order restores the DGPT&#8217;s ability to enforce its current policy on Gender Eligibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Ryan&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>Ryan pledged that there would be no backing down in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media post<\/a> on Instagram. &#8220;I will not be threatened, I will not be intimidated, I will not be erased,&#8221; Ryan wrote. &#8220;It is a breath of fresh air to be competing where I belong. To all the trans folks out there that love this sport as much as I do, I&#8217;m here for you, we all deserve better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Implications<\/h3>\n<p>The case has pushed the Disc Golf Pro Tour into the spotlight and highlights the ongoing debate over transgender participation in sports. The PDGA rules state that a transgender female who meets certain requirements may compete in the women&#8217;s division, including maintaining a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trans-weightlifter-has-a-genuine-chance-for-a-womens-olympic-medal\/\" title=\"Trans Weightlifter Has A \u2018Genuine Chance\u2019 For A Women\u2019s Olympic Medal\">total testosterone level<\/a> in serum below 2.0 nmol\/L. However, the court found serious questions going to the merits of the intentional discrimination claim, and the case may have implications for future transgender participation in sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OAN Brooke MalloryUPDATED 3:23 PM \u2013 Sunday, May 14, 2023 Disc golf player Natalie Ryan, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman, saw any prospects of possibly winning a California women\u2019s tournament disappear due to an appeal of a court order, pushing the Disc Golf Pro Tour into the spotlight over the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1866,"featured_media":1930888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[542],"tags":[12292,11843,4065,4431,5362,6349,4019,4694],"class_list":["post-1930887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oann","tag-disc","tag-golfer","tag-issues","tag-legal","tag-removed","tag-tournament","tag-transgender","tag-womens"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1930887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1866"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1930887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1930887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1930888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1930887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1930887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1930887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
