Washington State Women Expose ‘Diversity’ Rules at Girls Frisbee Tournament
Two women in Washington state have exposed and are calling out a high school girls Ultimate Frisbee league for promoting transgenderism at a recent tournament in SeaTac, Washington.
According to a thread of posts Tuesday on X, Dawn Land and Beth Daranciang attended the DiscNW tournament on March 1 holding signs promoting the protection of women’s sports after a parent made them aware of the league’s “anything goes” policies, which permit “gender diverse” boys to compete in the girls league.
On Saturday 3/1, @bethsd & I went to a DiscNW tournament. A parent told us how girls’ rights were being violated by the league’s “anything goes” policies.There is a team from Oregon in the girls’ league that has several “gender diverse” boys. Their team dominates the girls1/? pic.twitter.com/lSBcGlQ5RV— West Coast Terf (@WestCoastTerf) April 8, 2025
“We went there just to hold the signs, because it’s not fair to allow boys into girls sports,” Land told The Daily Signal, emphasizing the negative reaction she and Daranciang received from several attendees. They were met with backlash from a team’s coach and a few parents for holding signs saying “Save Women’s Sports” and “Girls Deserve Fair Sports.”
In one of the videos posted to X, a woman can be heard saying, “You have to leave. This is, like, a trans-positive event.”

Another video shows several attendees surrounding the duo while holding transgender flags. A man walking alongside the women announced, “I’ve done all the educating I can. I’m on the phone waiting for a nonemergency police department to take my call and actually help us here.”
He called the tournament a “private event” and said the field was rented out for a fee. Land and Daranciang then left, Land said.
They surrounded us quickly, trying to silence us. They pushed us, grabbed at us, and shouted at us, all while trying to encourage everyone to join their mob to silence us.4/ pic.twitter.com/dociOA7pky— West Coast Terf (@WestCoastTerf) April 8, 2025
Transgenderism among Washington’s youth has been a highly contentious issue for the past few years, and Land had filed Referendum 101 on April 24, 2023, against state Senate Bill 5599, which was signed into law in Washington state on May 9, 2023.
The measure allows runaway children to be placed into host families or licensed shelters under the Department of Youth and Family. The child can then get an abortion or receive so-called gender-affirming care, such as puberty blockers, mastectomies, and sex change surgeries—all without parental permission.
Before signing the bill, then-Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, stated, “With this bill, Washington leads the way by taking a more compassionate, developmentally appropriate, and reasoned approach to support these youth as they access gender-affirming treatment and reproductive health care services.”
Then-Sen. Ann Rivers, R-Wash, said that more than 90% of public comments received on SB 5599 were against it. Despite public disapproval of the law, Land’s repeal referendum failed to make the ballot due to falling about 5,000 signatures short of the 200,000-signature requirement by the July 15, 2023, deadline.
Land now hosts a website, Reject 5599, to raise awareness of the state’s deeply divisive law.
“There’s still so many people that don’t know that a law like this exists,” she said. “Our legislature is passing more laws that allow them to do things like this to kids: You know, take them away from parents to do these hormones and basically sterilizing them.”
