The Kennewick School Board in Washington state recently passed a resolution affirming protections for girls’ sports by stating that biological males should not compete with biological females in sports. The resolution came after a transgender runner won the girls’ 400-meter sprint at a state track meet. School board president Gabe Galbraith criticized claims that allowing biological males in girls’ sports is inclusive, arguing that it is exclusive to girls and women. The resolution, which passed in June, aims to support fairness in competition and student safety while affirming that biological sex is immutable and should not be changed or altered.
Galbraith hopes that the resolution will inspire other school boards to take a similar stand to protect girls’ sports. He emphasized the importance of voicing concerns and working with legislators to affect change. The resolution has received support from locals and city council members, indicating a growing movement to protect girls’ sports from being dominated by biological males. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association policy allows athletes to compete according to their gender identity without requiring hormone therapy or blockers. The resolution by the Kennewick School Board is seen as a significant step towards protecting the fairness and integrity of girls’ sports in the state.
