House Republicans demand NCAA ban on biological men in women's sports

FIRST ON FOX: More than a dozen House Republicans are calling on the National Collegiate Athletic Association to ban transgender women who were born male from participating in female college sports teams. 'We are deeply concerned about the future of women’s sports and upholding the critical Title IX protections for women’s sports with the NCAA’s current policies,' said a letter led by Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., and signed by 16 fellow Republican lawmakers.

The NAIA is a collegiate athletic league made up of smaller and private universities that governs roughly 83,000 student athletes, which is smaller than the over 500,000 student athletes across the NCAA’s three divisions. 'This policy appropriately recognizes the natural advantages that biological men have in certain athletic competitions.

Further, this study found that given that ‘estrogen therapy will not reverse most athletic performance parameters, it follows that transgender women will enter the female division with an inherent advantage because of their prior male physiology.’ The NCAA’s current transgender policy fails to take these scientific facts into consideration.

This cannot be allowed to ever happen again. The NCAA must follow the NAIA’s lead and prohibit biological males from competing in women’s sports,' they wrote. Fox News Digital reached out to the NCAA for a response.
