Destroying Women’s Sports: NCAA ‘Unequivocally Supports’ Transgender Athletes Participation

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, the country’s largest organization regulating college athletics, announced this week that it “firmly and unequivocally supports” the inclusion of transgender athletes in college sports competitions.

The announcement comes as Republican-controlled legislatures in multiple states around the country consider legislation banning transgender individuals who are biologically male from competing in women’s sports. Proponents of the legislation argue that to allow such individuals to participate is “unfair” to female athletes.

However, in a statement issued Monday, the NCAA insisted its dedication to including transgender athletes in women’s sports is for the purpose of producing “fair competition.”

“The NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports. This commitment is grounded in our values of inclusion and fair competition,” the statement said.

The organization cited a policy implemented in 2010, which “requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women’s sports,” as a means to provide a “more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports.” (Read more from “Destroying Women’s Sports: NCAA ‘Unequivocally Supports’ Transgender Athletes Participation” HERE)
