A trans-identified male in Denmark who has been given permission to compete against women in football is being celebrated by national media. Oliver John Collenette, who calls himself Olivia Kjærgaard Collenette, began claiming a transgender status approximately three years ago, and shortly after began demanding the right to play on a women’s football team. Now, he has been granted approval by DBU Zealand (DBU Sjælland) to play on one of the club’s women’s teams.
In a glowing interview published this week by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), Collenette expressed his disappointment that the policy allowing men like himself to compete in women’s sports was not yet a national measure. To date, only DBU Zealand, the local governing body for football on the island of Zealand, has put into place guidelines allowing men to “identify” into women’s teams.
“I’m actually happy that I can play with the gender I identify as. But it’s not so nice that you don’t know how it will be in the other unions. It would be nice if it were nationwide – if the whole country supported transgender people,” Collenette told DR.
Until recently, Collenette had played football on men’s teams. “It was terrible for me when I played with the boys. I didn’t feel like I fit in, and I felt left out of the community,” he told the national broadcaster. “The fact that I was wearing girls’ clothes and felt like I was being looked at a lot and not really talked to… I was ostracized and I felt like I wasn’t welcome in a way, so it made me very insecure.”
Collenette indicated, in the interview, that women expressed opposition to his inclusion in women’s sports. “In the beginning, when we went to games, we always asked the teams before we showed up if they were okay with playing with us. When they heard there was a transgender person, they said no.”
“I don’t see why it would be a problem for biological women to play alongside transgender women who act and identify as women. It’s not about taking anything away from anyone, it’s about creating more diversity,” Collenette added.
However, team manager for the women’s team in Frederiksberg Fritids Fodboldentusiaster, Mille Sørensen, voiced her concerns over the decision by DBU Zealand. “Perhaps you haven’t thought through the fact that there might be teams where there are suddenly more biological men on the field. And you haven’t considered how it affects girls and women to be asked to ignore the fact that they are playing against a biological man – even though they can clearly see it. I think that is very problematic,” she said.
Last November, Collenette was also positively profiled by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, which produced a podcast episode advocating for his inclusion on a women’s team. The Danish Football Association (DBU) had been under fire for the implementation of a new policy allowing local football clubs to create their own guidelines regarding the involvement of males claiming to be transgender women.
Reduxx has identified a Pinterest profile belonging to Collenette in which he had shared fetish content, calling into question his narrative and motive for joining a women’s sports team.
In one Pinterest album titled “Petticoated Boys,” Collenette shared the cover of a short book titled “Feminizing Men: A Guide for Increased Joy in Crossdressing.”
According to a description on Amazon, the book is intended as a guide for “male-to-female crossdressers.”
“Maximize the joys of being a male-to-female crossdresser and increase the gratification, satisfaction, degree of sensuality, and amount of time you have to enjoy it in this quick but thought-provoking short read. This is a guide that will help feminized men—husbands, boyfriends, sissies, those in female-led relationships, or cuckolded males who are feminized.”
“Feminizing Men” has hundreds of reviews and ratings on Amazon. One reviewer commented: “The sexually explicit desires described in the section about libido pushes the envelope
to another level when it talks about the feminized male crossdresser using sex toys and being with men and how it feels to be with men. This book pulls no punches it tells how feminized men feel and the desires they have to feel like a women and sex is what makes it feel real.”
Other titles by the same erotic fiction author include pornographic stories such as “Feminized Bimbo Husband,” “The Hypnotist – A Cuckold Husband is Hypnotized and Turned into a Shemale,” and “Forced Feminization: A Hot Wife, Cuckold, Forced Fem, Male Chastity, Feminized Men, Shemale Slut Story.”
Collenette shared the content around the same time he would have begun identifying as transgender.
As previously revealed by Reduxx, the Danish Football Association (DBU), when discussing the decision, had consulted with a trans-identified male who published homemade fetish pornography of himself while dressed in women’s lingerie.
Shortly afterwards, Jacobsen filed a lawsuit against psychotherapist and blogger Lotte Ingerslev, alleging she had “misgendered” him in a posts she wrote warning her followers about the hardcore fetish pornography he had made. Nadia Jacobsen was interacting online with several accounts producing or sharing “sissy” or “forced feminization” genres of pornography, which include themes of men being turned into women via sexual penetration and humiliation, clothing, and makeup.
In Jacobsen’s case, he had posted a photo of his genitals locked in a cage, or “chastity device,” while encouraging his followers to share the image. “I have gotten to a point where I don’t really want to masturbate like a boy anymore, so I will only be cumming like a woman,” Jacobsen wrote.
On November 24, 2023, the DBU published a statement announcing that “all genders are welcome in Danish football,” and promising to implement a new position within the organization for a “diversity officer.”
“DBU will make a structural investment for increased diversity. As one of the first things, DBU will hire a diversity officer whose expertise in, among other things, this area will help with inclusion,” the statement reads.
“Towards 2025, the goal is to create the framework for it to become possible in grassroots football for transgender people to play with the gender they identify as… The method is based on self-identification, which has already been introduced in German grassroots football, and the method aims to ensure that everyone feels included and welcome.”
Additionally, the DBU published a guidance on “inclusion” with Jacobsen’s input, which encourages Danish football clubs to permit men to enter women’s locker rooms and changing facilities.
“The dressing situation can be challenging for people with a different gender identity, and it is important that care is taken about the possible challenges, so that the dressing situation does not strain inclusion,” reads the document.
