Oregon Republican female lawmakers on Tuesday sent a letter to a state school association urging the board of directors to protect girls' sports rights.
by KATU StaffFILE - A 12-year-old transgender swimmer is seen waiting by a pool, Feb. 22, 2021, in Utah. On Tuesday, the women of the Oregon House and Senate Republican Caucuses sent a letter to Oregon School Activities Association Executive Director Peter Weber urging the OSAA Board of Directors to take immediate action to protect the equal rights of women in high school sports.“ Biological males have a very clear advantage. You have to be blind not to see that,” said District Four Rep.
"For both historical reasons, as well as reasons related to compliance with Title IX, interscholastic athletics and activities have typically been divided by gender, with a few exceptions,” the OSAA wrote in its Gender Identity Participation policy. “Formulating new processes to address concerns about participation regardless of a student's gender identity requires a new approach to eligibility, an approach reflected in these policies.
KATU brought Goodwin's claim to Stenvik, about trans girls having a biological advantage in girl's sports, and he said, “I think biological differences do exist on a spectrum. Sex isn't even all you know, Black and white, male or female. There is a range and even within you know, different sexes.” Oregon Democrats issued a response to the Republican's letter on Tuesday afternoon. The statement from the House Democratic Caucus is below:
It is in this context that we bring to your attention the unfortunate situation that transpired at McDaniel High School in Sherwood this past weekend. Ayden Gallagher, a male student, competed in the Sherwood Need for Speed Classic in the girls’ division, placing top ten in three competitions. This policy leads us to conclude that the OSAA and the State of Oregon do not deem girls and girls’ sports worthy of protecting and that the records they set are not meaningful. Additionally, this policy creates opportunities for male students who are unable to compete at the highest levels against their male peers to compete instead in female sports and break records that are rightfully held by girls.
