The Philadelphia School District has announced its commitment to allowing transgender athletes to compete in alignment with their gender identity, defying Donald Trump's "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order. This order threatens federal funding for schools that don’t comply. The district emphasizes safety, equity, and justice for all students, adhering to Policy 252, which supports transgender and gender non-conforming students. Overall, the district’s decision reflects a broader medical consensus on transgender participation in sports, maintaining their commitment to inclusivity and equity.
"The district will continue to align its practices to support its LGBTQ+ students... to ensure safety, equity and justice for all students regardless of gender identity or gender expression."
"Philadelphia's Policy 252 forbids the forced outing of LGBTQ+ students to their guardians, and affirms their participation in sports consistent with their gender identity."
