A group of 17 House Republicans are calling for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to ban transgender athletes who were born male from women’s sports.
The effort to call for a nationwide ban on trans “women” in college sports was led by New York Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney, who said that athletes born male have “natural advantages” over women, Fox News reported.
“We are deeply concerned about the future of women’s sports and upholding the critical Title IX protections for women’s sports with the NCAA’s current policies,” the letter signed by Tenney and sixteen other lawmakers says.
