After the woman fencer refusing to compete against a man, here's more from the exciting world of competitive women's fencing, where men just seem to thrive. Anna Slatz ar Reduxx:
Two trans-identified males are set to compete in USA Fencing’s April North American Cup this weekend, just under two weeks after a dramatic knee-taking protest against men in women’s sports at a fencing event in Maryland.
Annika Suchoski, 40, and Daniel “Anne” Crocket, believed to be 66, are entering their respective age categories for the women’s epee at the tournament, both of which are set to begin on April 11 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
News of Suchoski’s participation in the women’s category first came to light in September of last year when, after just six months of competing in the sport, he came second in the Fortune Fencing Regional Championships in Ontario – beating all but one of his female competitors.
Men, eh? They just pick up this kind of stuff so easily. Much better than the silly women!
Concerningly, Suchoski has posted multiple photos to his Instagram page where he has used filters to make himself appear child-like, a practice known as “affirming edits.” In one of the captions of the images, he claims he has been “doing a lot of work to heal [his] inner child.”
Well…maybe humiliating women is another way of healing his inner child. It's not uncommon.
Crocket, who has been calling himself “Anne” since at least 2022, currently serves on USA Fencing’s Domestic Assignment Committee for Referees, meaning he has control over the hiring for the referees of the eight national tournaments held each season by the organization, including the North American Cup this weekend. Crocket is also a member of the Rules and Examinations Committee, which is responsible for making decisions on fencing rules and maintaining the USA Fencing rulebook.
Useful.

HAPPENING NOW: You can tell who the male fencer is—“Annika” Suchocka—because he’s the only one who’s 6 ft tall, wearing PINK & a lot of make-up. pic.twitter.com/1IkH3OIUro
