Female Athletes Challenge NCAA's Trans-Inclusion Policy: 'We Demand Fair Sports'

Women’s sports activists are putting the heat on the NCAA, demanding clarity on what they see as major flaws in the organization's new transgender-athlete policy. This comes on the heels of President Donald Trump's executive order, and these athletes aren't holding back.

The voices of current and former collegiate athletes were powerfully showcased in a video by XX-XY Athletics.

"We see you, NCAA," the video starts, directly addressing the association. "You announced a new policy after Trump’s executive order. This policy doesn't protect females. It sets no clear boundaries. The new policy does nothing to ensure women’s sports are for women only.

"You said you were going to comply with federal law but you didn’t. Your policy is based on a birth certificate – that’s the ‘proof’ required. But it’s no proof of sex."

The athletes are pointing out a critical flaw: in most states, birth certificates can be altered. This has been a central argument against the NCAA's policy, which was released just a day after Trump's order, which aimed to prevent biological males from competing in women's sports. The activists argue the NCAA's policy would still allow males on women’s teams and even in locker rooms. Seriously?

"We see you Charlie Baker. We see you NCAA. We see you," the video continues, highlighting the pressure these athletes face. "We’ve been spit on. We’ve been yelled at. Called terrible names. We’ve been shot at. They’ve tried to silence us. But we are not going away. Young athletes are depending on us. They’re depending on you.

"And if you won’t stand up for female athletes, we will. We demand fair sports. We deserve safe sports. We aren’t backing down. NCAA women’s teams are for female athletes only. That means those born female. XX only, no substitutes."

NCAA'S NEW TRANS-PARTICIPATION POLICY IS 'AS CLEAR AS MUD,' RILEY GAINES SAYS

The group is urging the NCAA to implement "testing for sex."

Among the prominent figures featured in the video are Riley Gaines, Neely Gaines, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Reka Gyorgy, Lauren Miller, Melissa Batie-Smoose, Sia Liilii, and Macey Boggs.

The NCAA has remained silent, offering no new comment on the policy changes.

The NCAA’s policy states that student-athletes "assigned male at birth" may not compete on women’s teams but "may practice on the team consistent with their gender identity and receive all other benefits applicable to student-athletes who are otherwise eligible for practice." I guess they can cheer from the sidelines?

An NCAA spokesperson clarified earlier this month that the governing body will not allow trans athletes to compete in the women's category based on changed birth certificates.

"The policy is clear that there are no waivers available, and athletes assigned male at birth may not compete on a women’s team with amended birth certificates or other forms of ID," the spokesperson said. 

Regarding trans athletes practicing with women's teams, the NCAA considers male practice players a "staple" of women's sports. 

"Male practice players have been a staple in college sports for decades, particularly in women’s basketball, and the association will continue to account for that in the policy," the spokesperson said.
