Virginia Republican lawmakers have called on the Virginia High School League (VHSL) to protect women's sports after they announced that VHSL will continue to allow biological men to identify as transgender people to play in women's sports. Ta.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), Gov. Representatives such as Winsome Earle-Sears (R) and MP Jen Kiggans (R) have called on VHSL to “change courses” after a VHSL spokesman. I said ABC8 is the news that the league “don't rule out transgender” athletes will not “delete” from “one of the girls' high school sports teams.”
This comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to protect women's sports from trans athletes.
“We have not seen or received anything about the executive order,” VHSL communications director Mike McCall said in a statement, adding that VHSL “is in line with current policies and current laws.”
“Girl sports are for girls. The era,” Earl Sears wrote in a post X. “The Virginia High School League refuses to comply with federal law and President Trump's executive orders, putting our state at legal risk, putting young women at risk. All female athletes deserves an equal arena. This is unnegotiable. The Virginia High Shoe League now has to reverse the course.”
“Biological boys shouldn't compete with girls,” Youngkin wrote. post X. “This is just common sense. The Virginia High School League will need to change courses immediately, just like the NCAA. Virginia schools will be releasing the VHSL to @Realdonaldtrump's executive order to protect women's sports. If you don't comply, you risk losing millions of dollars in federal school funds.”
“Virginia girls are worth more than this,” Kiggans wrote. post X. They deliberately choose to ignore 80% of Americans agreeing to this issue. This is unacceptable! ”
As previously reported by Todd Huston, Warner of Breitbart News, Trump's executive order protecting women's sports includes “several measures. The first step is to allow trans athletes to be women.” It's about rewriting the federal government's Title IX education rules to withhold federal funds from schools that can play.”
Less than 24 hours after Trump's executive order, the National College Athletics Association (NCAA) announced that biological men had banned women's competition in sports. The NCAA policy states, “Student-athletes assigned males at birth cannot compete in female teams.”
