The founder of XX-Xy Athletics, Jennifer Sey, slammed Nike for her alleged financing of a study on puberty blockers for children and how it would affect their sports and training performance.
Research seeks to discover the amount of medical intervention it takes for a man to compete “enough” in the sports of girls and women.
The first notion that Nike would have financed was in a New York Times article published during the weekend on the release of Blaire Fleming-the Transgenre volleyball player of San Jose State Spartans who played a controversial role in the NCAA 2024-25 NCAA women’s volleyball season.

Outkick stressed that the play mentions Joanna Harper, a trans woman who studies transgender athletes, “currently helps direct an ambitious study of trans teenagers who measures their results on a 10 -step fitness test before starting hormone therapy, then, after starting to go medically, every six months for five years.”
The article then read: “But, she told me when we talked in February:” The current climate makes the study somewhat uncertain. “I assumed that she was referring to the Trump administration cuts to research grants on national institutes, but she said that money was not a problem: the study is funded by Nike.
PK Press Club Digital contacted Nike to comment. According to Outkick, the company has not yet brought to clarification on the issue.
SEY appeared on “Do’T @ me with dan dakich” and completely avoided the idea that the study even occurs.

“She tries to understand what they call” preserved male advantage “and there is little so that these boys can pass for girls,” said Sey. It’s so false at so many levels. . . . Why is a shoe brand involved in this?
“But from the point of view of women and girls, we are not altered boys. It is so degrading to think of us this way. Doing a study that says:” How many fingers can we cut a boy to make him good to compete in tennis with a girl? “This is what we are doing here.
Sey said she thought the decision to finance a study like this may have taken place years ago.
“The senior executives probably did not know what was going on. This is something that happened deeply in the organization,” suggested Sey. “And this Harper thought, he was proud of it, and he talked about it … I think Nike is like” Oh, shit. Now we have to defend ourselves. “”

Sey said Nike should just go out and apologize and eliminate funding from this type of research.
