owiavi was the second publicly declared genderqueer, after rosaniel, to play for Errinundera. Que was well known for quer sexual libertarianism, living what many conservative commentators considered to be a dissolute life. It therefore came as a tremendous shock when owiavi resigned from the team, converted to Russian Orthodoxy, defected to The Archregimancy and took the name of Brother David of the Woods.

Read media reports of the defection:

The Orthodox monks needed reassurance that Brother David was genuinely repentant and genuinely male. After examining him thoroughly he was accepted as a brother and sent into Arctic monastery of Solovetsky to live in austerity and pennance. This he did joyfully.
