Transparency in Education Supports the “Save Women’s Sports Act”
Delegate Kathy Szeliga (7A – Baltimore and Harford County) introduced HB 0359, the Save Women’s Sports Act, to prevent people born biologically male from competing in girls’ JV and varsity high school athletics. It has the support of over 30 Republican delegates but received an Unfavorable Report from the Ways and Means Committee, as Democrats felt it discriminated against transgender girls.
We believe that any policy that allows students to participate on a sports team that does not match their biological gender is wrong. There are not just logical and anatomical reasons this type of policy doesn’t make sense, there are issues of safety, fairness, and the erosion of women’s sports. This is one policy where there should be no room for compromises.
