Oklahoma Leads Charge Against Boys Competing in Girls’ Sports
In a bold stance against the inclusion of transgender females in female athletics, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters has declared, "boys don’t belong in girls’ sports.” This statement cuts to the heart of a heated national debate where the left argues that gender is a choice, challenging traditional beliefs about biology.
Recent conflicts have arisen as parents, athletic coaches, and educators express frustration over policies that allow biological males to compete against women and girls, often to the detriment of female athletes. The controversy has gained notable attention after swimmer Riley Gaines publicly opposed the unfair competition she faced when a transgender athlete tied her in a major championship. Her advocacy has drawn backlash, notably from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, who criticized her stance on social media.
Walters, the father of two daughters and a former high school teacher, stands resolutely with Gaines and emphasizes that Oklahomans share this sentiment. He cites incidents of conflict at schools, indicating that communities are ready to take action against perceived injustices in sports.
In response to what many see as an encroachment on female sports, Oklahoma has enacted the Save Women’s Sports Act, which prohibits biological males from participating in women’s athletic events. Walters insists on stringent enforcement of this new law, warning that schools violating it risk losing funding.
Despite pressures from federal rulings, including proposed changes to Title IX that would support transgender participation in women’s sports, Walters reaffirmed that Oklahoma would not comply. As polls indicate widespread public support for maintaining the integrity of female sports across various political affiliations, Walters believes this movement is gaining momentum.
As states align against the inclusion of transgender individuals in women’s sports, Oklahoma positions itself at the forefront of a growing movement advocating for fairness and parental rights in education and athletics.
