Nine Republican Governors Urge NCAA to 'Rewrite' Transgender Policy to Protect Female Athletes

Jean Mondoro : Nov 2, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

"If you continue the NCAA's misguided policies, stories like Riley Gaines' will only become more common," the letter concludes. "Policies that allow men and women to compete against one another validate an average male athlete stealing the recognition from a truly remarkable female athlete."

[LifeSiteNews.com] Nine Republican governors submitted a joint letter to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requesting that the organization "rewrite" its policy to exclude gender-confused individuals from competing against the opposite sex. (Screengrab image)

On Monday, a coalition of state leaders sent a request to the NCAA's Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (CSMAS), spearheaded by South Dakota's Republican Gov.

The letter cites research to support the reality that "it is fundamentally unfair for a biological male to compete against a biological female" regardless of a biological man's self-proclaimed "gender identity."

The letter's message was further emphasized by highlighting the stories of former NCAA swimmer turned women's sports advocate Riley Gaines, who, despite having tied with the gender-confused William "Lia" Thomas in a race, was not given the usual honor of that achievement. The trophy was awarded to Thomas instead of them sharing the podium... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
