This is how it's done.

Females must be protected in our division! This is unfair. I refuse to play!

On Saturday at the Music City Open in Nashville, pro disc golfer Abigail Wilson was set to play against Logan "Natalie" Ryan, a man who likes to pretend he's a girl so he can absolutely crush them at the sport of his choosing. Watch Logan easily blow the top female disc golfer out of the water in 2022:

Abigail posted this message on Instagram along with a video of her walking off the field:

Today I refused to play at the Music City Open. Females deserve to have their gender protected division be protected. This is unfair. I have worked so hard to get to this point to play on the DGPT, but the sacrifice of my career and my hard work is worth it if it means I can make a difference for other women, daughters, nieces, and the future of our sport. If you feel how wrong it is to have biological males be competing in female protected divisions in sports, now is the time to speak up and stand your ground.

I took this stand today because I was having anxiety about playing with the openly trans player on tour because of the planned protests for this year and the threats of violence at the event last year. After speaking with a member of the DGPT staff yesterday they made it clear they would be unwilling to change me to an earlier tee time when regarding my fears of safety on the course. They assured me that there would be bag checks, police, and security at the event. Upon arriving this morning there was no security or police presence, I was also allowed entry even though I did not have my credentials. There were zero security precautions.

Today I most likely ended my career and that is okay because this is bigger than me.

Little girls are looking up to women like you, Abigail, and it's making a difference.

Keep fighting the good fight. ✊
