Transgender Athlete Column Leads to Resignation
Calkins submitted the column titled 'Agreeing with Sophie Cunningham's stance doesn't make you transphobic' on July 31.
The editor rejected the column, stating Calkins didn't pitch it in advance.
The rejection was part of several columns Seattle Times declined to publish recently.
Calkins published the rejected column on Substack and expressed feeling 'scared' about his future.
Sophie Cunningham, whose stance inspired the column, received praise from Tomi Lahren.
Cunningham resisted the 'MAGA' label, which stands for Make America Great Again.
