A proposed resolution that would prevent trans girls in public schools in Alaska from competing on female sports teams is feeling the heat from critics.
“The evidence is pretty clear that there’s a physical difference between males and females, especially when you get into the mature puberty ages, and it’s a matter of keeping kids safe on the playing field, whatever that may be,” Fields said.
“Strength training, practice, perseverance, and the mindset of a competitive athlete is something that absolutely can work better and stronger than hormones ever will,” Amorelli said.A spokesperson for Gov. Mike DunleavyFriday, saying it’s time to “seriously consider co-ed interscholastic sports so that all students can compete at their highest level.”
“This is straight out of a playbook that we have seen enacted nationally to create a hostile learning environment for trans youth, rather than focus on the true need to retain teachers and improve student academic outcomes,” Hutchinson said. “I see this having an impact on me. I see this having an impact on families and the young people that Identity serves, and I’m really worried for my friends and the young people who desperately need more services, not fewer,” Hutchinson said.
