I had a call with USA Curling CEO, Dean Gemmell, on 7/30. USA Curling will be banning all trans women from sanctioned USA Curling women's events, including club playdowns.
They are dragging their feet on the announcement, but you should know now. Spread the word.

It's trans day of visibility.
A good way to show your solidarity is to call/write your Congress people and demand we stop national persecution of trans and gender non-conforming folks.
