“Rachel” McKinnon aka Veronica Ivy is working his final weeks at the College of Charleston and still finding time to abuse a student on Twitter. It’s almost as if he’s just not a very nice man.
There ARE freshmen on the roster. She didn't make the cut.
So…is she going to sue her cis teammates who are faster than her?
Or will she maybe accept that she didn't even make the fucking roster.
HAHAHAHAHA. Just get better, girl. Stop blaming others for being slow.

I cannot WAIT to bring this up Saturday on CNN.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE ROSTER
There are no trans girls on the track team at CofC. So how did Andraya or Terry take any opportunities away from you?!?!
You didn't make the roster at a Div 1 school! You're slow!

Selina Soule, one of the CT girls suing to ban trans women from sport, who happens to now attend the College of Charleston is the Abigail Fisher of sport
Selina: you didn't miss out on anything because of trans girls. Your times just weren't good enough

Selina Soule was of course
not suing to ban trans women from sport, she was suing to keep males from competing in women’s sport.
But also, this is a man in his late 30s, a professor, holding a first year student up to ridicule on Twitter, and lying about her in the process.
But Selina, that's not how scholarships are decided: it's not based on your placings in a given event. You likely wouldn't even have qualified for nationals anyway.
Scholarships are doled out based on personal bests and your season TIMES, not results.

You're just not that good, and you're blaming that on innocent black trans girls.
You're the Abigail Fisher of sport.
You don't want to be the Abigail Fisher of sport.
People will NEVER forget that you did this. Do you want this to be your legacy, at 18/19?! Yikes.

I guess Rhys McKinnon wants bullying a teenage girl on Twitter to be his legacy at 39. Yikes.
Moreover, last month I tendered my resignation from CofC because I'm sick of SC, the US, and CofC's repeated illegal actions with respect to disability discrimination.
I was not pushed out. I was not fired. This was 110% my choice and I'm VERY very very happy finally.

Yes definitely the fact that he never taught her himself personally in person in the flesh makes it
fine for him to abuse her on Twitter. Totally fine. He has no kind of privilege or advantage over her whatsoever – not his job, not his sex, not his 20 more years, not his notoriety, not those massive shoulders, nothing.
Also, eat shit.
Eat shit!

Apparently CNN thinks he’s
just the guy they want to have a nice chat with.
Incredibly, CNN have changed their minds again, and are now allowing Veronica Ivy / Rachel McKinnon on
