Virginia High School League: Current transgender policy fits needs of member schools

^{Published on 2025-01-16 09:05:19 - Richmond}

Amid new legislation in the Virginia General Assembly prohibiting sport participation based on gender identity, the Virginia High School League (VHSL) is staying with it's adopted policy.

The Virginia High School League (VHSL) has introduced a new policy regarding transgender student participation in sports, which has sparked significant debate. The policy, which was approved by the VHSL Executive Committee, requires transgender athletes to compete according to their sex assigned at birth unless they have undergone hormone therapy for at least one year, aligning with their gender identity. This decision has drawn criticism from various groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Virginia, which argues that the policy discriminates against transgender students and violates Title IX protections.
