Nyla breaks her silence on a particular athletic commission... the one that has her as tag champs with Serpentico. Nyla is the f***in BEST. That’s it. That’s the post.

Keen to see what Tony does here. On the one hand, you don't want to punish the good wrestling fans in Oklahoma who have had nothing to do with this appalling nonsense by never running a show there again, but you also don't want to put any monies gathered in fines into these bigots pockets.

Has Nyla ever been a face in AEW? I've never seen her as one and I have no idea why, and that has nothing to do with these asshats.

Get her shtick has been the whole "Native Beast" deal cause the women's division needs a monster, but Rose really has a ton of untapped potential as a face. If anyone's seen her media appearance stuff, she's incredibly quick-witted and a very likeable wise-ass too.

Apologies in advance for bringing this back. I'm finally in the mindset to talk.
The question that permeates this thread is "what should AEW do next." Well... I have two stories I'd like to tell.
#1: I had to talk a close transfemme friend off a cliff twice in a week. While there's a variety of issues at work here, the main culprit is dysphoria. She sees that... Thing in her pants and simply cannot deal. She's currently on a waiting list for a GCS consultation. Once she gets the appointment, she'll have to wait longer for a date to open up. We're talking several years for a surgery transphobes claim are easy to get. Surgeries they want to effectively ban.
#2:I do Instacart as my day-to-day. When I have multiple orders, I get the handles of the smaller order tied. Most places do it without even asking.
...All but one.
A certain group of employees of a certain location of a certain chain outright refuses to tie my bags. Their stated reasons vary - I've heard everything from "cashier's rights" to "asking for tied bags is a form of bullying." But mostly? It's a thinly veiled anti-trans rant full of dogwhistles, complete with turned name tags and visible crucifixes. In the past seven months, I've been lectured, openly misgendered after correcting them, forcibly removed from the store, had employees literally walk off the job, watch employees take over lines just so they can turn down my request, told by a cashier that she "doesn't have the time to help people like [me]", told by a manager that asking an old woman to treat me respectfully was unreasonable, told by a different manager that I was outright lying and had several claim that my anger in the face of the constant abuse made them fearful. (Never got violent, by the way. I would just correct them a bit louder than normal. That's all.)
Every now and again their mask slips, which I film. Said film (and threats of me going to the media) got the ringleader suspended. I was then informed that I couldn't complain further because I "gotten what I wanted," that asking for tied bags in light of the suspension was a form of abuse and that real solution was to stop using pronouns. Things are, unsurprisingly, worse than ever.
The one thing these three stories have in common is unabashed cruelty. I know it's a cliché, but the cruelty is the point. These people think of trans, nonbinary and intersex people as "less than." And the last thing they want is for us to get anything. And so, they delight in our suffering. That's why they say it's so easy to get a surgery even though the wait is close to killing my friend. It's why the employees continue to harass me for something that everywhere else does automatically. It's why OSAC pulled their shit.
The only solution are for centrist cis people to finally get involved. Those insane wait times aren't necessary. I should know. The second cis people got involved, my GCS wait went from years to five months. Those cashiers would stop their bullying toot suite if the person behind me spoke up or if the manager had a spine. As for Nyla... There were other people in that OSAC meeting. Why didn't one or two raise hell? They could have at least attempted to put the fear of god into Dr. Lovelace, who by the way was the RINGSIDE DOCTOR.
But the cis centrists there in the moment did what they always do: stay silent in the face of evil. And so, a young woman panics, I get hounded for doing my job and Nyla gets embarrassed. All for the unforgivable crime of existing - in public, in private, in general.
TL;DR: There is nothing TK can do short of invent a time machine. And it's not his fault. Dr. Lovelace won the second the cis stayed silent.

Thank you for being there for your friend. The right to exist should not be such a trial, and I hope both you and your friend keep pushing on.
Cruelty is indeed the point for some people out there, and often all they know.

I have no beef with Oklahoma as a whole, I live in Manitoba I know no one from there and have never been slighted by the state or anyone from it. But f*** the Oklahoma Athletic Commission. Prejudiced c****

A Rose/Toni program or a babyface Nyla vs a heel Baker would have WBD dumping trucks of cash onto TK’s doorstep.

They're like the fifth person to pop in this thread and say some shit like "I'm an ally but..." and then tack on some super transphobic bullshit.

Making the best of a bad situation. Yeah, Tony Khan is a billionaire nepo baby who sometimes puts his foot in his mouth. Yeah, AEW isn't perfect and you can point to any number of situations they could have handled better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. But it's stuff like this that makes it the most refreshing major wrestling promotion in my lifetime.

Oh I didn't realize that was official merch. Thought it was just something Nyla was doing on her own. That's pretty cool, actually.
