Sports teaches strategic thinking. But weirdly, the @NCAA is not listening; it’s doggedly pursuing a losing strategy: people are LESS empathetic to transgender athletes after they see males compete in our sports, denying female opportunities.

NCAA leadership says the stated goal in policy-making is “not if transgender athletes are included, but how.”

We agree - of course those with diverse gender identities should compete in sports!
‼️Just not males in female sports‼️#OurBodiesOurSports

“We want to have an environment that is fair, welcoming and inclusive for all of the athletes,”@IvyLeague’s Robin Harris said at the NCAA transgender session.
-Well then, allow science/ fact-based perspectives to present.

If that’s the goal… get males out of female spaces.2/

“Harris said the transgender athletes policy is no different from other eligibility requirements.”

⛔️🚫📛Nope.🚳🔞❌

The NCAA transgender policy allows an athlete to jump categories to win. Like a heavyweight winning against lightweights. #OurBodiesOurSports #Resentment

.@NCAA - give scientists like @DrMJoyner @Scienceofsport @FondOfBeetles @hoovlet a seat at the table.
Give civil rights orgs from @ICFSport a seat at the table.
Give those advocating for gay & lesbian rights a seat at the table. @LGBAlliance_USA

Thank you!
