Matt Calkins resigns from Seattle Times after scrapped trans athlete column

Matt Calkins, a columnist for The Seattle Times, has resigned following the paper's decision to scrap his article about trans athletes in women's sports. Calkins stated that the decision was not his own and highlighted that the scrapped article included perspectives from two female student athletes opposed to competing against biological males. His resignation, prompted by multiple scrapped pieces, has drawn widespread attention and criticism from various commentators and members of the sports community. The controversy surrounding Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham's earlier comments on trans athletes has reignited discussions on the subject, which continue to dominate conversations among WNBA players and coaches.
