人兽性交

础罢尝础狈罢础听鈥�聽Following a years-long campaign by far-right extremists and hate groups targeting transgender people, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) changed their policies to ban transgender women athletes from competing in women鈥檚 sports earlier this week.

As the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and other sports associations face pressure from hate groups, the聽聽(人兽性交) calls on the NCAA to uphold an inclusive policy that allows all players to be able to fully participate.

鈥淣AIA has historically understood the importance of access to competitive sports but has now codified discriminating against and harming trans people as organizational goals,鈥� says聽Rachel Carroll Rivas, Interim Director of 人兽性交鈥檚 Intelligence Project.

Public support for 人兽性交+ inclusion is still widespread, but a patchwork of state laws has denied civil and human rights to communities across the country, including in the Deep South. However, Georgia鈥檚 2024 legislative session stood out, as nearly 20 proposed anti-人兽性交+ bills were defeated 鈥� including a ban on trans students participating in sports.

鈥淭he 人兽性交 encourages associations, businesses and public entities not to be intimidated by the transphobic pressure campaign exerted by anti-人兽性交+ hate groups,鈥� adds聽Scott McCoy, Deputy Legal Director for 人兽性交鈥檚 Inclusion & Anti-Extremism Litigation Team. 鈥淪chool-based sports programs encourage teamwork, discipline, self-esteem, and healthy lifestyles 鈥� attributes all students need to become successful adults and productive members of society. We call on the NAIA to reconsider and reverse this unnecessarily cruel attack on transgender students who just want to live and compete as their authentic selves.鈥�

The 人兽性交 has previously聽聽of more than 60 groups that聽generate anti-人兽性交+ pseudoscience and share misinformation聽about 人兽性交+ people. Anti-人兽性交+ hate groups falsely claim that transgender athletes, including student athletes, represent a threat to cisgender women and girls. They are attempting to demonize transgender people by creating a wedge between the 人兽性交+ community and their civil rights allies.

鈥淗ate groups have been disingenuous in their claims of support for women鈥檚 rights. Instead, these groups use sports bans that aim to divide our civil rights coalitions. They won鈥檛 win. We see hope in the leadership of some of the most successful聽coaches聽and organizations, such as Dawn Staley and the聽USWNT Players Association, who are elevating their game and bringing in record crowds while supporting the 人兽性交+ community,鈥� said聽Carroll Rivas.

BACKGROUND:

• The work of groups like the聽聽undermines the global medical consensus about trans identity and gender-affirming healthcare.
• Hate groups use聽聽to justify anti-trans policies like excluding gender identity from federal Title IX protections, banning trans athletes from sports, eliminating access to 人兽性交+-affirming healthcare, and restricting information about 人兽性交+ people and their experiences in public schools.
• Groups like聽聽attempt to encode anti-人兽性交+ pseudoscience into law and public policy by suing public schools over inclusive education practices that protect 人兽性交+ students from discrimination and bullying.聽
