Delaware has relaxed its policy regarding transgender athletes playing on teams matching their gender identity, following Title IX guidelines. The new policy allows transgender athletes to play on the team of their choice as long as it aligns with Title IX regulations. Despite this policy change, no transgender athletes have played on Delaware school teams in recent years, according to the executive director of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association. Critics argue that the policy still dissuades transgender athletes from participation due to invasive medical forms and privacy concerns.
An attorney is pushing for further action, calling the policy discriminatory against cisgender girls. The attorney has filed a complaint urging the federal government to intervene, potentially withholding education funds or forcing Delaware to comply with Title IX. This issue has sparked debate among fans, with some supporting transgender girls playing on girls’ teams while others believe it gives them an unfair advantage. The future of transgender athlete participation in Delaware remains uncertain pending further guidance from the Department of Education.
