The NCAA convention in San Antonio had some unwelcome publicity on
Thursday, in the form of dozens of protesters speaking out against the
collegiate athletics organization's insertion of transgender athletes
into women's competition.

Among the demonstrators against NCAA's policies was former Kentucky
Wildcat swimmer Riley Gaines, who had to compete against transgender
athlete Lia Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania Quaker who was
crowned the NCAA women's champion in the 500-yard freestyle.

“Today, we intend to personally tell the NCAA to stop discriminating
against female athletes by handing them a petition that we have
garnered nearly 10,000 signatures on in just a couple of days,” said
Gaines.

The NCAA has allowed transgender athletes to cross gender lines since
2010. Full implementation of a 2022 update of that policy was set to
happen by August 2023, but, amid growing pushback from women and those
with empathize with them, the NCAA Board of Governors his week opted
to delay it to the 2023-24 academic year "to address operational
considerations."

“I want to show the NCAA their discrimination against female athletes
like me does not go unnoticed," protestor and former Lee University
volleyball player Macy Petty told Daily Caller. "I will not stand by
as they allow biological men to take over female athletics.” Petter
had to compete against a trans athlete in USA Volleyball qualifiers.

While Thursday's action against the NCAA's transgender policies
consisted of speeches and signs, opponents of the status quo are
likely to take the NCAA to court with the aim of proving its policies
violate Title IX, the legislation that, among other things, requires
that female collegiate athletes be afforded the same athletic
opportunities as men at the same school.

This week, attorneys for the Independent Council on Women's Sports
(ICONS), a network of current and former collegiate and professional
women athletes and their families, published a letter to the NCAA,
declaring ICONS was putting the NCAA "on official notice that your
practice of allowing male athletes on women’s teams constitutes
illegal discrimination against women on the basis of sex...it is
impossible to provide equal opportunities for both sexes (as required
by Title IX) without female-only teams."

At the protest, alluding to potential legal avenues, Alliance
Defending Freedom attorney Christiana Kiefer said:

    “I think that could look like a Title IX complaint. And I think it
could look like even universities starting to actually push back
against the NCAA and saying, ’Hey, we have a legal obligation to
protect fair athletic opportunities for female athletes and if we fail
to do that, you’re kind of binding our hands and not allowing us to
fulfill our legal obligations to the female athletes at our schools.’”

The resistance to NCAA's transgender-athlete campaign now includes
state governments that have barred transgender athletes from women's
sports. Earlier this month, a federal judge upheld West Virginia's
ban, saying that "one's sex...dictates physical characteristics that
are relevant to athletics."
