It’s an interesting situation we’re here…
Let me introduce you Chilean MarenUniversity of Washington Junior, a member of the Women’s Row Team. (Related: Nevada Schools ban biological men from female sports with huge switch-ups for the state)
Mullen, a biological woman, identifies her as a transgender man. This is reflected in Instagram account Mullen’s page has the pronoun for “he/he.” Usrowing is a US governing body, writing about Mullen on social media, and they used the pronoun of trans athletes in the post.
And to make it crazy, the post says that “he” (see Mullen) is involved in a woman’s row. Yes, you read it correctly.
Cillian Mullen finished third in the female single skull fever at 7:56.34. He will be racing with the person in charge tomorrow afternoon. #WRHCSTCATHARINES #wrchamps

Technically, Mullen does not violate any kind of rules or law when it comes to competition. After all, Maren is a biological woman. However, when Mullen identified as a man, it is hard to believe that he wondered why Mullen chose to be in the women’s department.
And social media asked…
Hello Scott,
Cillian is a four-time member of the US Women’s Junior National Team, and his pronoun is him/he. All 88 highly fired athletes meet eligibility criteria to compete in the currently enrolled boat class.

I don’t really have any issues with what Mullen is doing, but it gives the impression that Mullen knows that “he” will lose to biological men. correct story.
It is unfair for men to compete with women. Points, blanks, periods.
