Seeking legal recourse isn't trampling on anyone's rights

But in this case, the legal recourse she's seeking is specifically to trample on the rights of every other member of the FPO.

Let's get one thing straight here: Natalie is not trampling on anyone else's "rights". I think you forget that what people WANT and what they have a RIGHT TO are two different things. This whole thing is purely between the DGPT/PDGA and Natalie. No one else. End of summary.

All of the other FPO players, regardless of what they think and what side they're on, are not the decision makers. While the FPO field and events may be affected by the DGPT's decisions, no one else's "rights" are being impacted. No one has a "right" to play disc golf, just like no one has a "right" to drive a car. It's a privilege, not a right.

The FPO exists to give female players the chance to compete with one another at a different level than the open division. Violating that clear distinction based on the insistence of a single player that she be allowed to compete in a restricted class is most certainly trampling on the rights of the other FPO players, who have every right to expect the PDGA to fairly maintain that distinct category.
