More than 20 red states now ban male-born students from girls’ scholastic sports, but it’s a different story in blue-state America, where transgender athletes are not only competing, they’re thriving.
“Boys are feeling increasingly emboldened and entitled to girls roster spots, awards and records due to disastrous policies that do not recognize fair treatment for girls in sports,” said Marshi Smith, ICONS co-founder and a former Nevada state swimming champion.
“We will look back on this as an egregious wrong against women. Neither the girls nor the boys deserve this,” Ms. Smith said. “Adults need to stand up and make it right.” Republican state Sen. Ira Hansen called it the “Bud Light amendment,” while Democrats argued that it was needed to protect transgender students from discrimination.
The California Interscholastic Federation, the state’s governing body for school sports, blasted “discriminatory or harassing behaviors” after the two male-born track-and-field athletes dropped out of last weekend’s girls’ state championships.

Brazilian president's support of Venezuela's leader mars unity at South America summitThe Brazilian president’s strong support of Venezuela’s authoritarian leader has marred the unity at a South American summit that Brazil convened in hopes of reviving a bloc of the region’s 12 politically polarized countries. Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wants the countries to work more closely together and proposed during his opening speech that they create a regional currency to rival the U.S. dollar. But Lula’s warm embrace of Venezuela’s authoritarian leftist leader Nicolás Maduro just ahead of the meeting drew pushback from some of his neighbors. Uruguay’s President Luis Lacalle Pou said the “worst thing we can do” is pretend there are no significant problems in Venezuela.
