Women’s sports activists urged NCAA to clean up the alleged questions in the organization’s new policy for transgender athlete in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order.
The current and former collegial athletes were shown in an XX-XY athletics video.

“We see you, ncaa,” began the clip. “You announced a new policy after Trump’s executive order. This policy does not protect women. It sets no clear boundaries. The new policy does nothing to ensure that women’s sports are only for women.
“You said you would comply with federal law, but you didn’t. Your policy is based on a birth certificate – it’s the ‘proof’ that is required. But it’s not a proof of sex.”
The female athletes point out that in all except six states a birth certificate can be changed. That has been the main point of the argument against the new policy that NCAA released a day after Trump’s executive order prohibits biological men from competing in women’s sports. The activists also said that the NCAA policy would still allow men on women’s teams and in dressing rooms.
“We see you Charlie Baker. We see you ncaa. We see you,” the video continued. “We have been spit on. We have been shouted. Called terrible names. We have been shot on. They have tried to cushion us. But we are not going away. Young athletes depend on us. They ‘re depend on you.
“And if you don’t stand up for female athletes, we will. We demand fair sports. We deserve safe sports. We are not backing down. NCAA woman’s team is only for female athletes. It means only the born female. XX, no substitutes. “

NCAA had no new comment on its political change.
NCAA’s new policy for student athletes “assigned male at birth” and their participation in women’s teams stated that athletes may not compete for women’s teams, but they “can practice on the team in accordance with their gender identity and receive all other benefits, There are applications for student athletes who are otherwise eligible for practice.
A NCAA spokesman told Pakinomist Digital earlier this month that the governing body does not allow Trans athletes to compete in the women’s category based on changed birth certificates.
“The policy is aware that there are no exceptions available and athletes assigned male at birth may not compete on a women’s team with changed birth certificates or other forms of ID,” the spokesman said.
With regard to trans athletes practicing on a women’s team, NCAA considers male practice players as a “staple” of women’s sports.
“Players in male practices have been a staple in college sports for decades, especially in women’s basketball, and the association will continue to explain it in politics,” the spokesman said.
