People who are unwilling to put their names to accusations for fear of losing their jobs are cowards and unprincipled.

The first person to file a complaint did so after going to Tara VanDerveer to ask for advice on what to do, and it was Coach VanDerveer who then brought forward concerns to the athletic department administration, per this reporting (about the 2:55 mark in the video):

Thank you for posting that NBC Bay Area report, which includes—at roughly the 1:00 mark—images of the purported O'Brien report. To the extent the O'Brien report is real, it appears that source of the original complaint is a male who identifies as a female and that the department employs multiple such individuals. Given the accusation by this person that Taylor discriminated against "her" both for her gender and sexual orientation, it must be the case—assuming the document is real—that the original complainant is a male who presents himself as a homosexual female. That information was left out of the ESPN report to bias readers against Taylor. Many people would be sympathetic to the plight of a female staffer in a male-dominated football environment. They will have far less sympathy for a man in the athletic department who dresses as a woman but still prefers to have sex with women.

This kind of stuff is why Stanford is not likely to be able to compete in football with, say, SEC schools anytime soon. Anyone who thinks high school kids from the south, or their families, are going to be okay with cross-dressing staffers in the football program is delusional.
