But here's why some sports will look differently this year.
Dear Friend,
With schools finally back open, high school and college sports are back in swing. But for some, the starting lineup looks different this year.
That’s because across the country, state athletic associations are allowing athletes to compete as male or female according to their gender identity. Even the NCAA is in on it, allowing male-bodied athletes to take spots on women’s collegiate athletic teams.
As a former Division 1 lacrosse player, I know what these opportunities mean—and what taking them away will cost. Competitive sport is a zero-sum game, where some athletes make the cut, and others do not; someone wins, and others lose. In this case, it’s biological women who lose.

We worked hard compiling this information into one report so that lawmakers, policymakers, and the general public can better understand what’s at stake. We also did it to ensure that no one can distort the facts.
And the fact is, when biological men compete as women, females lose.
