Nevada schools ban trans athletes from girls sports in major reversal for state

The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) voted on Tuesday to adopt a new gender eligibility policy that bans trans athletes from girls sports. Now, only biological females can compete in the girls' category in the state. 

Nevada Lieutenant Gov. Stavros Anthony praised the decision in a statement. 

"I commend the NIAA for taking this important and courageous step," said Lieutenant Gov. Stavros Anthony. "Today’s vote sends a clear message: Nevada values and protects opportunities for female athletes. Girls deserve a level playing field, and this action helps ensure they can compete, grow, and succeed without having to compromise safety or fairness."

The change marks a reversal from the state's previous policy that enabled trans athletes to compete in girls and women's sports, which resulted in multiple controversial incidents of it happening in recent years.
