From the article by Lindsay Crouse for those with a paywall: www.nytimes.com/2021/03/24/opinion/trans-athletes-womens-sports.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage
"It is so deflating. Women’s sports get attention when there’s an egregious slight against us, such as when the world champion women’s national soccer team sued for pay equal to the men’s team, which failed to qualify for the World Cup. The other time is when we achieve something so unlikely that it inspires everyone else, such as when we play against men.
That means we get less coverage of us simply playing sports. When the journalist Brenna Greene looked for photos from the women’s basketball tournament this week, she found the N.C.A.A. hadn’t posted any. But its cache of men’s photos was full. (As with the weight room, the organization reacted to criticism and finally put up photos from the women’s games.)"
