The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics voted to ban transgender women from women's competitions, affecting 241 colleges.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics voted on Monday to ban transgender women from women's competitions starting next school year, affecting a total of 241 colleges.ContextDebates around transgender athletes have soared in recent years, with many conservatives arguing that transgender women competing in all-female leagues allow for an unfair advantage against biological girls and women.
This comes after advocates have highlighted that the NCAA has guidelines in place since 2010, which include requirements for transgender women to undergo hormone therapy for at least one year before competing in women's sports, aiming to create a level playing field.ViewsHistorically, the NCAA has generally advocated for inclusion but has resisted the pressure to pull championship events from states that prohibit transgender athletes from competing in publicly funded school sports.
