A group of 12 women from the Oregon House and Senate Republican Caucuses is demanding that the Oregon Schools Activities Association (OSAA) change its high school sports policy to allow only biological women to compete in girls’ sports.
The letter was issued after a male student, who identifies as transgender, was seen in a viral video outperforming his female competitors in the girls’ division at the “Sherwood Need for Speed Classic” track meet.
