The protestors rallied at the Phoenix Convention Center to ask for a ban on transgender women in college sports
According to the transgender participation policy, all athletes may participate in NAIA-sponsored male sports, but female sports will be restricted by birth sex.WASHINGTON — The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announced a policy Monday that all but bans transgender athletes from competing in women's sports at its 241 mostly small colleges across the country.
A student who has begun hormone therapy may participate in activities such as workouts, practices and team activities, but not in interscholastic competition. “The NAIA understands that legal action being taken to challenge the policy is a possibility, but this policy is one our membership and board felt like was the right decision,” the NAIA said in a statement to The Associated Press.
Hours after the NAIA announcement, the NCAA released a statement: “College sports are the premier stage for women’s sports in America and the NCAA will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women’s sports and ensure fair competition for all student-athletes in all NCAA championships.”
