Trans Athletes and the Real Controversy | Anchorage News

Transgender athletes in sports are being unfairly scapegoated in a manufactured controversy — the numbers show most youth athletes identifying as transgender are tiny, and claims they dominate women’s sports are myths. The real issue? We should be focused on letting kids play, not banning them based on imagined advantages — or worse, letting discrimination creep in under the guise of “fairness.” With states misinterpreting Supreme Court rulings to target transgender people, we’re dangerously close to eroding equal protection guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. These aren’t villains — they’re regular people, and scapegoating them only fuels division. The ACLU is standing up to protect rights, and supporting them is a powerful way to fight back against prejudice and build a more inclusive future.
