Congresswoman Votes No on Federal Sports Ban Targeting Trans Children

 

By - Jan 14th, 2025 02:30 pm

“This partisan blanket ban will deprive trans children of the opportunity to participate in sports simply because of who they are. Trans children have a right to exist as they are and participate in the sports they enjoy with their peers.

Sports help children develop important skills that help them later in life. When kids work with each other toward a common goal, it helps them build resilience, teamwork, and discipline.

This bad-faith legislation is rooted in harmful myths about trans people that would only ostracize these young people. For decades, local sports associations have been entrusted with oversight of youth sports. Many programs are inclusive of trans people, and I remain committed to Title IX’s mission to protect against gender-based discrimination for any children participating in youth sports, including trans children.”
