The rule was adopted to conform with a policy promoted by the administration of Gov. Mike Dunleavy.
The board governing high school sports in Alaska adopted a rule Monday that bans transgender girls from competing on girls’ teams.
Billy Strickland, executive director of ASAA, has said there is only one known instance of a transgender athlete competing at the championship level in Alaska. Nonetheless, proponents have said that without the policy adopted Monday, cisgender girls in Alaska could lose out on opportunities that will go to transgender girls.
Strickland said Monday’s rule change was driven primarily by the state education department’s decision to promote the policy change. Without ASAA’s rule change, Strickland said he worried districts would be unable to participate in ASAA-run sports. Anchorage Assembly Chair Chris Constant has suggested that the new regulation could put ASAA’s bylaws at odds with the city’s non-discrimination clause, which makes it unlawful to discriminate in educational institutions on the basis of gender identity.
