Kallie Keeler, 16, received encouraging news this week: the transgender wrestler accused of sexually assaulting her during a match has withdrawn from the state tournament. While this incident did not involve her directly in her own match with this wrestler, a biological male, the increased attention is having a positive impact.
UPDATE: The WIAA tells us the male withdrew from the state tournament. His place will now go to the alternate, a biological girl. HUGE WIN! https://t.co/7YbhOoyY5Q

In a December match, Keeler allowed herself to get pinned after this wrestler forcibly shoved her hand into her genitals. The entire incident was recorded on video. Keeler reported it two days later, but no action was taken for two months, as the family pursued other ways to handle the situation.
HOLY CRAP
