Transgender protesters 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 ping (Photos via Twitter)
Transgender athletes in women’s sports have been a hot topic for quite some time.

As soon as Donald Trump got into office, he made that a top priority when he signed Executive Order 14201 in February, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.”

It aimed to prohibit transgender women and girls from participating in female sports across all educational levels.

A former college swimmer, Riley Gaines, scored a victory earlier this year when the University of Pennsylvania agreed to ban transgender women from its women’s sports teams. Also, her lawsuit against the NCAA received good news when U.S. District Judge Tiffany Johnson partially denied the NCAA’s dismissal motion, per Outkick.

The fight to uphold it continues in different states.

Activists 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 Off Their Clothes To Protest Transgender Athletes

Rally goers support restrictions on transgender athletes during a 2023 demonstration on the steps of the Texas State Capitol.
Multiple activists decided to make their voices heard by 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 ping to their underwear during an Augusta, Maine, school board meeting this month.

Local activist Nick Blanchard wanted to get a message out that would resonate with the country and did so in front of the city’s school board members.

Two women and a man slowly started to remove their clothing at the close of the Augusta School Department meeting as Blanchard spoke passionately to the board members.

“I’m about to show you guys how uncomfortable it is for girls,” Blanchard said as the women 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 ped down to their underwear.

“You feel uncomfortable? Because that’s what these young girls feel like when a boy walks into their locker room and starts unchanging in front of them. That’s what these young girls feel like every time a young boy changes in front of them.”

His overall point was proven as some school board members were outraged, while others tried to avert their attention elsewhere because they were uncomfortable.

“This is Maine’s capital,” Blanchard continued. “We should be setting an example for the rest of the state. You know what example you guys are setting? That we do not care about the young girls in the rest of the state.”

The Augusta school board voted in favor of its current policy when it comes to the transgender issue. It allows student-athletes to participate on teams that correspond with their gender identity.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
