NCAA backs transgender athletes, says events will be in places 'free of discrimination'

The NCAA, which regulates college athletics in the U.S., backed transgender athletes Monday, saying it won’t hold championship events in locations that aren’t “free of discrimination.”

As Republicans in more than two dozen states target transgender athletes, the NCAA Board of Governors said it "firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports."

It said its "more inclusive" policy for transgender athletes, which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women's sports, means “inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport.”

The board said it would monitor situations regarding trans athletes' participation without specifically mentioning states that have banned it or are considering bans. It did say the "environment" could affect the locations of championship games.

"When determining where championships are held, NCAA policy directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected," the statement said. "We will continue to closely monitor these situations to determine whether NCAA championships can be conducted in ways that are welcoming and respectful of all participants."

Every single real female who is forced to compete against fake females should just refuse to participate. Let the nut-cases and losers who can’t make a go of it against real males look the fools as they compete against only themselves.

It’s still pretty amazing just how many organizations churches and corporations have gone “Commie activist” on us.

Yep.

To NCAA: So you’re against women’s sports?

Testicles -> MEN
Ovaries -> WOMEN

Period. End of story. Full stop.

If you wanted to be born otherwise, well, sorry, world isn’t perfect...keep on living. If it weren’t for modern drugs and surgery this wouldn’t even be a question. It’s an absurd argument that “men can be women”. No single MAN has ever given birth. It’s just asking us to put science and reality aside and be forced to agree with an alternate reality based on some delusional feelings - which they want enforced by the government and law! Insane.

Just have open sports & let anyone who wants to play try out

If they’re good enough to make the team, great

This would end discrimination & women’s sports too

There will need to be three catagories; male, female, other.

I have read that in japan if you officially claim to be other gender you gotta remove all of your “equipment”....but you really cant add good functioning other gender stuff...
Just have transgender games. Transgender males vs transgender males...tg females vs tg females...people who claim no sex vs other people who claim no sex...ncaa is now a putrid stinking pile of cow chips...let it die...

Championships that are free of discrimination?

So, winners are randomly chosen? Participants too?

I would like them to explain why, exactly, there is a category of sports called “women’s sports”.


Clearly to discriminate. In multiple ways.
