OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma lawmakers are considering a number of transgender bills, including a controversial one involving women’s sports.

The ‘Save Women’s Sports Act’ would prevent transgender athletes from playing on girl’s or women’s teams at public schools.

However, the NCAA says it is not in favor of those types of measures, which have been proposed across the country.

“The NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports. This commitment is grounded in our values of inclusion and fair competition.

The NCAA has a long-standing policy that provides a more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports. Our approach — which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women’s sports — embraces the evolving science on this issue and is anchored in participation policies of both the International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport. Our clear expectation as the Association’s top governing body is that all student-athletes will be treated with dignity and respect. We are committed to ensuring that NCAA championships are open for all who earn the right to compete in them.

When determining where championships are held, NCAA policy directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected. We will continue to closely monitor these situations to determine whether NCAA championships can be conducted in ways that are welcoming and respectful of all participants.”

NCAA statement

If Oklahoma lawmakers approve the ‘Save Women’s Sports Act,’ it could threaten the use of Oklahoma City being the home of the Women’s College World Series.

Oklahoma City has a contract to host the tournament until 2035.
