STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WBAY) - The organization that oversees school sports in Wisconsin voted Wednesday to ban transgender girls from girls' competitions.

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) has approved a policy that bans transgender girls from participating in girls' sports teams, aligning with a recent state law. This decision was made during the WIAA's annual meeting, where the board voted to implement the policy starting in the 2025-26 school year. The policy reflects the state's legislative changes which define sex based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth, effectively barring transgender girls from competing in sports consistent with their gender identity. This move has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it discriminates against transgender students, while supporters believe it ensures fairness in girls' sports by maintaining competitive equity.
