To say the IFPA's statement is disappointing and insufficient is an understatement.

"We made an email address, problem solved."

One man choosing to override the unanimous position of the Women's Advisory Board manages to make this worse than no action by showing how little regard IFPA has for them

An IFPA event became the center of a major controversy last weekend after a venue manager forcibly removed a trans woman from the women’s restroom and the TD allowed the event to proceed without interruption. The IFPA’s response has now created more controversy.

No quarter for hate. The International Flipper Pinball Association needs to do better.
I would like to first state that I am glad to see that the IFPA has finally responded to the incident that occurred last weekend at the OBX Fall Flippers Classic. Pinball is for everyone, and Flippers Arcade and Laundromat having a minimum 1-year ban from running events sanctioned from the IFPA shows that there is at least some sense that the organization is trying to stay adherent to it’s own policies. The IFPA did not acknowledge that they were even investigating this event until 5 days and 14 hours later, and that only occurred because I called them out in their Discord – up to that point, nothing had been mentioned in this space about anything that occurred. Yet, two deafening and glaring flaws in the statement made by the “IFPA Organization” still persist, and both the lack thereof of statements and the statements that came out to fill in those blanks show that the IFPA is not living up to it’s expectations for itself, nor it’s perception of being an arbiter of equality/equity to the community. Before I go on, I would like to say that this year would have been my third OBX Fall Flippers. In the two years prior, I have seen trans and queer competitors take at least one top 4 spot (2019 and 2024). First, nothing in any official IFPA statement mentioned anything about what will happen to the event where this incident occurred in the first place. An official statement from the Women’s Board in response to the “IFPA Organization” statement was made as follows: “The IFPA Women’s Advisory Board unanimously recommended that the IFPA revoke sanctioning for the OBX events, and we vehemently disagree with IFPA Leadership’s decision not to do so. We did not contribute to the announced statement or the new process for incident reporting and we oppose the decision-making process used by IFPA Leadership.” Further statements showed that the IFPA also misrepresented some of the events that were witnessed first hand by Sammie Bacon, a member of the IFPA Women’s Advisory Board. Other than the originally affected party, she was the person most knowledgeable about the events that transpired, and was the person who Becky (the Flippers manager) waved an iPad in their face to justify her hate crimes with bogus bathroom bills. As it has come out, Adam Becker was responsible for this decision as the lead. I may respect you for the work you have done for the community, but I am ashamed to see how you have decided to ignore your Women’s Advisory board in a decision as well as misrepresent them both in including them in your statement when they did not agree to it as well as directly altering first-hand accounts witnessed by a Women’s Board member. Josh Sharpe, Zach Sharpe, Andy Bagwell, Germain Mariolle, Michael Trepp, and Brian Woodard – I am also saddened to hear that you did not step in to ensure that the matter was being treated with the utmost care and concern that a matter of trans and queer exclusion in an Open event should warrant. As one of the trans people who was eager to play in OBX Fall Flippers event, it also saddens me to see that their own statements mean nothing in practice. “The IFPA only recognizes open division of play to be included in the World Pinball Player Rankings. If certain players are prohibited from playing based on age, gender, skill or personal reasons, those results will not be counted.” By the IFPA’s own admission, this was an act of discrimination. Even further, this was sexual harassment and a hate crime. How can WPPRs be awarded to an event that breaks the IFPA’s own statements? Why are cis and/or hetero players being rewarded because at least 15 phenomenal trans/queer players had to avoid the event because they needed to prioritize their safety? By itself, this is damning – and as a prominent trans pinball player, makes me feel like the IFPA will not have my back at events. If results from this event are posted, I will be suppressing myself from IFPA events as it has been made clear that the IFPA’s statements about “standing in solidarity” with me are just words on a screen and hold no meaning or value. While I understand that part of this involves Kevin Stone, I also believe that his statement and apology are genuine. I would like there to be resources available to Tournament Directors, potentially as part of the IFPA website, that can provide resources to assist in what to do if situations of discrimination or hate show up at your event – as well as fostering a culture where pinball is safe for everyone. No quarter for hate.

So me and @lotushomage.bsky.social saw my ex at the gas station the other day.
Two furry dog-girls walk happily towards the camera having a conversation. The first has pink hair in a ponytail, a black shirt and a green, low-cut dress. The second had long, red hair and wears a blue dress, a long black petticoat. The first girl says, "I was never super attached to Coelamon as a kid, but they made her so sweet and silly." A small doodle of the digimon, Coelamon, smiles and says "Yay!" The second girl says, "I'm sure she's precious, but I'll stick with the DNA digivolved lesbians." A doodle of the digimon Mastemon holds a sign that reads "Love wins." The pink haired dog-girl preens in the background and says "She flops on the ground like a doofus when you win. My precious girl with two brain cells, I love her." The red haired dog-girl stands closer to the camera, looking off the side suspiciously. She says, "Hey, don't look now, but You Know Who is here." The pink haired dog girl looks shocked and panicked, her hair going spiky and messy. Scattered words around the piece read out her thoughts. They read, in no particular order: Huh?! Oh god Heck How do I look? Has she seen me yet? Please Here? Her?! Oh fuck Ass Please Oh shit Oh fuck Oh geez Oh no A can of "Pawnster" energy drink sits in the middle of the screen. It has a pink paw-shaped symbol that descends downwards towards the text reading "Pawnster." The can is backlit with radiant light. In the top left corner, a tiny, chibi head of the pink-haired dog girl looks forlorn. She says, "Oh my god, she got even hotter." In the top right of the image, there's a chibi head of the red-haired dog girl that looks ever so slightly frustrated. She says, "I told you not to look."

Waiting with baited breath today to see if the IFPA says or does anything. I am just going to assume that they are full approving obx based on lack of literally anything from the organization at this point. I am just kinda frustrated and mad and sick of feeling this way.

i'm like actually losing my mind over this. they were aware! company email accounts were used!! a decade's worth of evidence of some of the most inhumane bullshit lived on their serves.

but someone saw a tranny once and it made them feel some type of way so that's what they focused on.

ghouls.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I spent my birthday playing in a @lymanstaverndc.bsky.social monthly 2 years ago and it, along with every time I've been there, has been a great experience.

It warms my heart to see them standing alongside us. They're seriously good people, check them out.
To the DC pinball community: It has come to our attention that a recent tournament held in OBX created a hostile environment for trans pinball players that resulted in their exclusion from the tournament. We call on the IFPA to immediately nullify this tournament and remove all WPPR points associated with it. We also unequivocally reaffirm to all the DC trans pinball players that you are an integral part of this community and we reject transphobia in the strongest terms. DC pinball will not tolerate any transphobia or other hateful ideology from our players or our tournament directors, and we expect our members to intervene and call out transphobia when they see it. -Lyman's Tavern, DC Pinball League, & PinDyke

Was crossing the road and the pedestrian sign almost immediately switched from walk to that hand. A car blitzed through the turn and almost hit me. Dude was so pissed he almost hit me he yelled “pretty sure that means don’t walk, fatso”

Hey at least he didn’t decide to be transphobic.
