On Monday, WND<\/a> posted an article about a recent ruling by The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced Monday that only biological females would be allowed to play in women\u2019s sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s Council of Presidents voted to approve a\u00a0policy<\/a>\u00a0allowing \u201conly students whose biological sex is female\u201d in its women\u2019s sports competitions,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to The Washington Post. The policy will go into effect on Aug. 1 in time for the 2024-2025 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are unwavering in our support of fair competition for our student-athletes,\u201d Jim Carr, president and CEO of the NAIA, said, according to the Washington Post. \u201cIt is crucial that NAIA member institutions, conferences, and student-athletes participate in an environment that is equitable and respectful. With input from our member institutions and the Transgender Task Force, the NAIA\u2019s Council of Presidents has confirmed our path forward.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

,,,The policy will allow biological females who identify as transgender to participate in the men\u2019s categories. Female athletes who have begun \u201cmasculinizing hormone therapy\u201d can participate in \u201call activities that are internal to the institution\u201d and any \u201cexternal competition that is not a countable contest as defined by the NAIA.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is interesting to me that women who are transitioning to men can compete in men’s sports, but men who are transitioning to women cannot compete in women’s sports. That might actually be an acknowledgement of the fact that there are basic biological differences between men and women that transitioning to the other sex does not change. It should also be noted that if a person transitions, they will be on medication for the rest of their life because the body will keep producing the chemicals that are appropriate to the sex of the person at birth.<\/p>\n

I would have liked to see this ruling apply to anyone transitioning, but at least it prevents the unfair competition that has been occurring in women’s sports.<\/p>\n
