For Star subscribers: The reason Arizona is blocking two transgender girls from girls' sports is they have a medical condition, top GOP lawmakers contend in new court argument.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The reason Arizona is blocking two transgender girls from participating in girls' sports is because they have a medical condition, the state's top GOP legislative leaders say in a new court argument.
But Smith said that diagnosis cannot become the basis to allow those born male to participate in girls' sports. Neither girl has reached pubertyThe 2022 law says public schools and any private schools that compete against them must designate their interscholastic and intramural sports strictly as male, female or coed.
Zipps agreed. She cited the policy of the Arizona Interscholastic Association, which has approved a handful of such requests. "Cross-country meets are scored by ordering all runners who participate from first to last,'' he continued."That means that a transgender runner who takes any place but last displaces every biological girl who finishes after the transgender runner by at least one place.''
