Collegiate sports association restricts transgender women from competing in women’s sports

“With the exception of competitive cheer and competitive dance, the NAIA created separate categories for male and female participants,” the association said in its policy. | Charlie Riedel/APThe National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics on Monday voted to bar transgender women from competing in women’s sports competitions.

The policy has already been met with swift criticism from LGBTQ advocacy groups, which say the policy could push other governing bodies, like the NCAA, to follow suit. But conservative-learning groups and advocates pushing back against transgender athlete participation in women’s sports lauded the policy change and urged other associations to follow.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has been putting off advancing a regulation under Title IX that would outline the rights of transgender athletes under the anti-discrimination law.
