Virginia Athletics Organization Plan To Change Trans Athlete Policy-World-Wire

The athletics sanctioning organization that oversees most high school sports in Virginia told schools this week it has no immediate plans to change its regulations governing the participation of transgender athletes despite Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s new guidance concerning trans students.

The Youngkin administration’s model policies say student participation in athletics should be determined by biological sex, rather than gender or gender identity, with “reasonable modifications” offered only to the extent required by law.

But the Virginia High School League’s executive director, John “Billy” Haun, told school leaders Monday he recommended the league’s existing policies, which allow transgender athletes to participate on teams that match their gender identity under certain conditions, not be changed.
