Oklahoma commission issues warning against All Elite Wrestling after transgender match

Let me be very clear: Trans rights are human rights. Any transphobic comments will result in a temporary ban at minimum.

Fuck Oklahoma. Trans rights are human rights.

Solidarity forever.

There is no way these ENTERTAINMENT matches are officially sanctioned and governed by any state body… right??

Nyla's tweet on this is hilarious...

WHO THE FUCK WAS IT?!! Don’t worry Oklahoma I’ll find the dastardly Transgender that * checks notes * entertained fans!!! HOW DARE THEY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY?!!!

Fuck that commission.

LMAO clowns.

Firstly: Fuck Oklahoma, all my homies hate Oklahoma.

Second: Ya know TK has an opportunity to do something reaaal damn funny here 👀. I'm thinking Dynamite heads back to Oklahoma with a special main event: Nyla Rose vs Dark Sheik vs Kidd Bandit vs Max the Impaler.

Isn't the whole pretext for banning trans athletes that they supposedly have an unfair advantage over cis athletes? Doesn't that entire justification fall apart when the matches are scripted and pre-determined? What possible justification could there be for this other than bigotry?

Seems like something JR should try to get fixed.

I really want to make a this is neither Bommer nor Sooner joke, but this is exactly Boomer and Sooner

Nyla: "DAMNIT OKLAHOMA!!! You made me a babyface now!!!! 😑😑😑 I wanna do evil things with my evil friends but now I can’t 😤"

Danhausen on Twitter: "Nyla rocks. Transphobia does not. Bunch of loser fucks."

Oklahoma you just made Danhausen swearhausen for fucks sake.

Walker Stewart, lead NJPW English commentator's on Oklahoma State Athletic Commission:

"Here's a fun rant about the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission knowing full and well they can't come after me the way they've come after my friends for various things recently. #NotAWrestler

Always wanted to see Oklahoma wrestling in the spotlight, but its archaic rules such as those mentioned in this statement that won't allow this to be the case.

The Oklahoma Athletic Commission is a cancer of the wrestling scene in Oklahoma. A money grab that does nothing to protect wrestlers or protect the industry.

They require a blood test, a physical, and $30 every year to wrestle, but do nothing regarding people faking their blood tests or even faking licenses when checked at events. Thus, making them inherently useless.

OSAC takes a percentage of the gate, which many promoters use as an excuse for why they can't pay people decently (and whether that's the reason why or not, there is no need to take a percentage of the house if you're set in place to facilitate a healthy scene).

And of course, the fact that the OSAC has no jurisdiction over Native American land... and Oklahoma heavily consists of Native land (pic related in replies). Yet, I consistently see commissioners appearing in Tulsa, McAlester, Ardmore, etc. What's up with that?

Finally, inherently sexist laws have led to wrestlers being suspended for short sequences of intergender action within the last year. Now, transphobic laws leading to this commission meeting about a transgender wrestler who competes all across the country, yet in Oklahoma, it's a subject of litigation?

I'm in full support of a commission done right. I'm not an anarchist. A governing body that protects the industry and sets high standards for the community is welcomed, but one with archaic and prejudiced rules such as those mentioned shouldn't exist. Dismantle it (like they did in Arkansas after a racketeering lawsuit) or reform it (which seems unlikely based one the political climate in this state).

I don't believe reform/dissolution of the OSAC would improve the pro wrestling scene in Oklahoma tenfold. There is a lack of proper training, there is a lack of etiquette, there are people who want to try and rule over talent and areas with an iron thumb like the territory days...

But let's start with not banning transgender athletes in a pre-determined, sports-based, theatrical performance, and see where we go from there.

End rant."

Fuck transphobes. All they do is make the world fucking worse.

Love that they gave AEW a "warning" on this shit. Like they are going to do shit to AEW except maybe make them think twice about running a show in Oklahoma again.

Also, love the fact that the commission defines gender based on chromosomes. How do they know what chromosomes Nyla has? Did they work up her genome? Maybe she's XXY or something, they don't know.

I did a brief stint as a mod for r/squaredcircle pre punk AEW and man the shit people would say about her was utterly disgusting, I learnt a whole plethora of ways to be derogatory towards trans people, some of these fans are horrible people, was fun banning them and watching them bitch in modmail.

Nyla Rose on Twitter: This is almost as bad as the birthday messages. I’m trying to get through all the messages but I can’t keep up and I know I’m missing a bunch of yall. And I’m sorry. But I appreciate everyone for all the support and love I am probably dehydrated from all the happy crying
