Another Sport Just Banned 'Trans' Athletes

Mark Baker

In recent years, several sports have banned transgender athletes from competing against women. This was instigated by Will “Lia” Thomas, who competed against women on the University of Pennsylvania’s swim team after competing on the men’s team for three years. Predictably, Thomas robbed women of awards and opportunities.

Since then, several governing bodies have barred transgenders from competing against women. This week, another one followed suit.

On Tuesday, the International Cricket Council announced that biological males who believe they are transgender women will not be permitted to compete against females. This came after months of review, according to several reports.

"Male-to-female participants who have undergone male puberty will not be eligible to compete in the international women’s game," the ICC said in a statement. The governing body emphasized that this rule still applies even if a “transgender” person has undergone experimental, irreversible so-called “gender-affirming” surgery.

"The changes to the gender eligibility regulations resulted from an extensive consultation process and are founded in science, aligning with the core principles developed during the review," ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement. "Inclusivity is incredibly important to us as a sport, but our priority was to protect the integrity of the international women’s game and the safety of players."

Last year, a North Carolina high school volleyball player sustained a severe head injury after a transgender player spiked the ball at her head “abnormally fast,” according to a video of the incident, which Townhall reported. The incident was later posted as part of a “highlight” video.

Townhall has covered how several polls in recent years have shown that the majority of Americans oppose allowing biological males who identify as "transgender" to compete in women's sports. 

In June, a Gallup poll reaffirmed Americans' views on this issue and even showed that more Americans now than in 2021 believe that male-bodied athletes who believe they are women should not be permitted to compete in women's and girls' sports.
