Oregon Republican Representatives send letter to OSAA urging change of transgender policy
Briefly

Oregon House of Representatives Republicans sent a letter on February 11 to OSAA Executive Director Peter Weber, calling for the reversal of a policy allowing transgender student-athletes to compete. This move aligns with an executive order signed by President Trump on February 5, which prohibits transgender women and girls from participating in female sports. Following this directive, the NCAA quickly enacted a similar ban on February 6, reflecting a national trend toward restricting transgender athlete participation in sports categories.
Oregon House Republicans urged the OSAA to reverse its gender inclusive policy for transgender student-athletes, seeking alignment with recent federal and NCAA actions against transgender participation.
Following President Trump's executive order on Feb. 5 regarding transgender women in women's sports, the NCAA promptly revised its policy the next day to implement similar restrictions.
