'I just hate to say it, but it seems like a farce,” said one dad with a transgender daughter who wants to play high school sports. “... Without objective criteria, it’s completely arbitrary.”
The rules set by the commission, according to parents of trans athletes, are vague and lack direction that would tell them what their kids need to do so they can play.
“There are no rules, and it’s really up to the whims of this commission to determine if a kid gets to play something they really like and that means a lot to them,” said one parent after the Aug. 29 meeting where a decision was made in his daughter’s case.enjoined by the court while a lawsuit over it moves forward.
The policy that the commission passed — which was unanimously approved without discussion during the first meeting — was drafted by the Utah Attorney’s General Office. • Whether the student would have “a material competitive advantage when compared to students of the same age competing in the relevant gender-designated activity.”
But the parents who have spoken during the public portions of the commission’s meetings say the members are operating under vague guidelines. They say there should be specific guideposts so that families know what to expect and there is some kind of standard across cases. “As a parent, having to go through this — without knowing what the rules are, without knowing what we’re being judged on, without knowing if this commission is even trying to find a way that our daughter can participate — is incredibly difficult,” the dad said.
