Natalie Ryan, a transgender female disc golfer who was removed from a women’s tournament in California on Friday, vowed to fight the ruling amid an ongoing legal dispute.

Ryan was initially ruled eligible for the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) event after she was granted a temporary restraining order amid her discrimination lawsuit against the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). However, the tour appealed the decision and won and removed Ryan from the OTB Open. Ryan was in fifth place when she was removed.

On Sunday, Ryan vowed to keep fighting.

“The DGPT and PDGA are afraid of metaphor, so I’ve taken down my pervious post. Instead I’m going to make that posts message incredibly clear.

“It appears there was an intentional act, the creation of a policy, that excludes individuals based on their protected status as transgender women,” Nunley wrote in his decision, according to OutSports. “The Court makes no determinations as to whether this is sufficient to actually establish intentional discrimination, but it raises serious questions.”
