Hailey Davidson just needs to go away.
The transgender golfer is out here ranting and raving after the LPGA Tour made the outright glorious decision to switch up its gender-eligibility rule that bans the majority of transgender athletes from their brand’s competitions.

The LPGA announced Wednesday the update to their policy that bars any transgender golfer who “transitioned” from a male to a female following puberty. The new rule will affect most transgender players due to the fact that the majority don’t transition prior to puberty.

“The effects of male puberty confer competitive advantages in golf performance compared to players who have not undergone male puberty.”

Since 2021, Davidson has been attempting to gain an LPGA pro card, and while on the NXXT Tour, the trans athlete had been putting up win after win. However, those days are now over as the golf giant has made the decision to nix Davidson’s eligibility.
Following the LPGA‘s announcement, Davidson took to Instagram stories and nearly crashed out.
“Can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Banned from the Epson and LPGA,” wrote Davidson. “All the silence and people wanting to stay ‘neutral’ thanks for absolutely nothing. This happened because of all your silence.”
“And somehow people are surprised the suicide rate for transgender people is around 50%. Situations just like this are part of the reason.”
