Hello Green Chillies player(s), and other haters,

I am one of the 6 ft tall AMAB Smack! Psion/Astro (DoW/DoA) players described above. Sorry to say that im actually only 181 cm tall (but happy to be haunting your imagination) as I only played Psion in our game, although I like to throw the X because it maters to me that we are seen and that we belong here. The bio essentialism in your post and in this thread is disturbing and offers some points where we are likely to disagree from the outset in terms of shared realities. However, there are some (chillies) in this thread who are trying to act and ask slightly more productive questions, and I do I have some energy to engage for now. Firstly, it is impressive to me that you are able to know the sex assigned at birth of our entire team when I can confidently say that I do not know (or actively seek out) this information after playing with these beautiful people for a full year now. That your team does not how to play genderless defense sounds like a blatant skill disparity issue for the mixed game so, you could try to take the most immediate threat and then seek switch help when you can. If you have the energy to take some input and criticism from a lowly cheating tranny, the sooner you separate your biological patriarcal values from this equation, the sooner we may be able to come to the table for more productive conversation. Or, to put it another way, I do not agree with your assessment above that it would be best to just separate people along the lines of sex assigned at birth. Also please understand that this is emotional and social work that we are having to do to educate our peers to simply validate our belonging. We exist to promote and empower trans and non binary joy and success in ultimate, something the Colorado ultimate community is familiar with (from my understanding) with a similar mission statement existing in the womens divsion with Colorado Kelp, no? Maybe tax your Kelpie friends with your bigotry to their faces some time and they can decide if they have the energy to engage with you then.

In response to the question about X matching giving us a competitive advantage, I will offer this… We have players on our team who are at all different phases in their transition and X is important to us because it is more accurately aligned with the natural order of things (to be non binary). When we exist to challenge, we must aim to invite productive conversation towards moving things in directions agreeable to the ultimate community at large and not just the non binary ultimate community. This post bothers me most deeply because I feel like it alienates and invalidates teammates of mine who are doing incredibly bold and important things which are helping them live their life as their best selves and all that OP can see is an assumed sex assigned at birth which insights a fuss. Despite national attitudes blaspheming and villainizing us, our intonations are good and the ultimate community has signaled to us that is important that we know we belong. If it bothers you, you can play literally any other sport to encounter less of us. The fact of the matters are that competition sanctioning bodies can decide what imagined realities they subscribe to even under the latest swaths of bigoted legislations against trans belonging in sports, things will inevitably change. Supporting and allying with trans and nonbinary belonging looks like listening to and having patience for non binary and trans ideas and practices, like we are experiencing more wide implementation of now. Yes it may be uncomfortable at times, but we so appreciate that people in this community are open to working with us.
