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."

More evidence that spectator sports are bad for America.
Bingo. Title IX...how quaint.
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.
The man was ahead of his time.
It’s still pretty amazing just how many organizations churches and corporations have gone “Commie activist” on us.
You wanted it woke females (real females), you got it!
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.
Right? There should be one team...open tryouts...and may the best man/woman/it/they/shoe/ficus secure a spot.
They’re better at grammar..
Well...I’m wondering what goods someone has on NCAA “Leadership”
Kristi Noem squandered her opportunity.
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
The first trans women NCAA track and field championships will be the last.
“ I guess real girls don’t count any more.”

There will need to be three catagories; male, female, other.
Lol
What a bunch of sick you know what’s. Women’s sports is dead.
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...
Withholding money is the game. Cant wait till ncaa dies.
saying it won’t hold championship events in locations that aren’t “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”.
