The Trump administration's Education Department has called for the NCAA to revoke titles and records held by transgender athletes, including Lia Thomas. This move aligns with Trump's executive order banning trans women from competing in women's sports. The department emphasizes protecting female categories and restoring awards seen as wrongfully credited to trans women. The letter also urges the NCAA to adopt specific language from the executive order to close loopholes allowing trans men in women's sports, stirring ongoing debates regarding inclusion and fairness in athletics.
In short, the NCAA and NFHS must not only prospectively protect female categories in sports, but also restore to female athletes all records, titles, awards, and recognitions wrongfully credited to male athletes.
Trans women are not a threat to women's sports; instead, we are a part of the rich diversity that makes sports inclusive and vibrant.
