Her Wikipedia entry:
Sally Jenkins (born October 11, 1960) is an American sports columnist and feature writer for The Washington Post, and author. She was previously a senior writer for Sports Illustrated. She has won the AP Sports Columnist of the Year Award five times, received the National Press Foundation 2017 chairman citation, and was a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize. She is the author of a dozen books. Jenkins is noted for her writing on Pat Summitt, Joe Paterno, Lance Armstrong, and the United States Center for SafeSport.
She was a defender of Lance Armstrong even after he admitted doping, so clearly has some history of support for cheating men. Perhaps her glittering career is less about a deep knowledge and love of sport, and more about knowing where the power lies.
But really – "So it’s a step backward for so many women athletes to cry frailty in the debate over trans participation". That's just breath-takingly stupid and offensive. Would flyweight boxers be crying frailty if heavyweights were allowed in the ring against them?
