Transgender participation in college level athletics has changed, under a Pres. Trump executive order. For high school in NJ, officials say it's been a non-issue for years.

The article from NJ 101.5 discusses President Trump's executive order aimed at barring transgender athletes from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity, focusing on its potential impact on New Jersey school sports. The order seeks to ensure that sports are "fair" by defining sex as determined by biology and genetics at birth, which could affect transgender students' participation in sports across the U.S., including New Jersey. Critics argue that this order could lead to discrimination and exclusion, potentially violating Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools. The article highlights the concerns of New Jersey educators, parents, and advocates for transgender rights, who fear that this could undo progress in inclusivity and fairness in school sports. It also mentions that while the executive order sets a national tone, individual states like New Jersey might still have their own policies, potentially leading to legal challenges.
