Connecticut Republicans plan to honor 3 high school girls who have filed a lawsuit seeking to block transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.
Romano, on the other hand, applauded the plaintiffs’ “bravery” for fighting to make their voices heard in what he describes as a media and political environment overly attuned to “political correctness.” He also rejected the labeling of the Alliance Defending Freedom as a “hate group.”
He said the issue of transgender athletes’ participation in sports is “complicated and deserves a complicated discussion,” and added that he believes the conversation thus far has been unfair to cisgender female athletes who “shouldn’t have to compete against a biological male.”While transgender women have, Byard says there is no real evidence that trans athletes are dominating overall in women’s athletics.
But for Byard, the issue of transgender participation in high school sports is not about fairness on the playing field; it’s about giving all students the opportunity to feel like they belong. “LGBTQ youth face so many barriers to feeling like they belong in the school community,” she said. “Those youth who are able to participate as a member of a team are much more likely to feel like they belong and do better in so many different ways, and this is one of the ways that we can help vulnerable and isolated students connect at school and succeed.”
