The Matanuska-Susitna Borough school board is considering amending its athletic policy to prevent transgender girls from competing on girls’ sports teams.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough school board members discuss a proposed change to its athletic policy that would ban transgender girls from competing on girls’ sports teams.
School board president Ryan Ponder is one of three board members who recommended the change. He read from the proposal at a school board meeting on Wednesday. Several school board members expressed support for the policy. Member Jubilee Underwood said her son plays basketball in the district, and that she thought most parents would support the proposed policy.
“If this ban passes, it tells trans youth, athletes and non-athletes, out or closeted, that the adult leaders in this community are not safe and cannot be trusted,” she said. “That distrust and fear will lead to more suicide, more self-harm, more violence for these already more vulnerable youth.”
