Woman's swim team objected to college's decision to allow a trans-woman join the team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSRd7-4JVEc, https://www.wfxrtv.com/news/local-news/roanoke-college-swim-team-breaks-their-silence-community-response/, https://news.google.com/articles/CBMihAFodHRwczovL3d3dy5uYmN3YXNoaW5ndG9uLmNvbS9uZXdzL3Nwb3J0cy9yb2Fub2tlLWNvbGxlZ2Utd29tZW5zLXN3aW0tdGVhbS1jYWxscy1vbi1uY2FhLXRvLWNoYW5nZS1wb2xpY3ktb24tdHJhbnMtYXRobGV0ZXMvMzQzODk2My_SAYoBaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmJjd2FzaGluZ3Rvbi5jb20vbmV3cy9zcG9ydHMvcm9hbm9rZS1jb2xsZWdlLXdvbWVucy1zd2ltLXRlYW0tY2FsbHMtb24tbmNhYS10by1jaGFuZ2UtcG9saWN5LW9uLXRyYW5zLWF0aGxldGVzLzM0Mzg5NjMvP2FtcD0x?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen, https://news.google.com/articles/CBMioAFodHRwczovL3d3dy5zd2ltbWluZ3dvcmxkbWFnYXppbmUuY29tL25ld3Mvcm9hbm9rZS1jb2xsZWdlLXN3aW1tZXJzLXVuaWZ5LXRvLXByb3RlY3Qtd29tZW5zLXNwYWNlcy1hbmQtcmlnaHRzLWFzLXRyYW5zZ2VuZGVyLWZlbWFsZS1zZWVrcy1zcG90LW9uLXdvbWVucy1yb3N0ZXIv0gEA?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen, https://news.google.com/articles/CBMiXWh0dHBzOi8vdGhlcm9hbm9rZXN0YXIuY29tLzIwMjMvMTAvMTAvdHJhbnNnZW5kZXItcG9saWN5LWRhbWFnZXMtcm9hbm9rZS1jb2xsZWdlcy1yZXB1dGF0aW9uL9IBAA?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen . "... the student who wanted an opportunity to compete with the women changed his mind before the rule was passed. The male student is reportedly no longer pursuing his request..."
