Concerning Gender and the Renunciation of a Dissolute Life

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.

Read Brother David's last letter to his grieving parents:

In due course Brother David was ordained as a priest, becoming Father David of the Woods.

World Cups with The Archregimancy

With The Archregimancy policy of its player's remaining anonymous, it is difficult to ascertain Father David's record in the World Cup. He was, however, recognised by Errinundrian fans in a Pre-World Cup 36 friendly match between the two nations. In the pre-match warm-up, Errinundrians pelted the goalie with sex aids. Accounts from two opposing perpectives can be read by following the links below.
