Oregon Lawmakers Commit to Protecting Athletics for Biological Females

Many Oregon lawmakers are committed to ‘fairness in women’s athletics and protecting opportunities for female athletes.’

They made their stance clear in response to President Donald Trump’s ruling that participation in women’s sporting competitions is only for biological females.

The lawmakers have urged the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) to align with the federal policy in a letter sent to its president, Peter Weber, calling for an immediate ruling that specifies high school sports participation is restricted to biological female athletes.

Grants Pass Republic Rep. Dwayne Yunker says ‘women’s sports got protection by President Trump’s executive order and by the NCAA. Today my colleagues in the Oregon legislature and I urged OSAA to do the same.’

Reedsport Rep. Boomer Wright says, ‘as a former teacher, principal, and superintendent,’ he knows ‘how strong and talented young women in schools are.’
