Few sports organizations are willing to tackle the upsurge of transgender athletes in female sports, but Larry Maile doesn’t mind doing the heavy lifting.
The president of USA Powerlifting, Maile has become a hero within the single-sex sports movement for his four-year battle against male-born athletes in the women’s division, a fight that he’s willing to take to the Supreme Court.earlier this month with female athletes ahead of a competition in Dallas, Texas.
In Mr. Maile’s corner is Marshi Smith, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, or ICONS, who blasted what she called the “radical erasure of an entire sport.” The group also looked at the differences between girls and boys before age 10 and during adolescence. The study found no significant difference between the sexes at ages 8-9, when children are first eligible to compete in powerlifting.
Even so, he insisted USA Powerlifting is a “friendly and welcoming organization,” offering in recent years “multiple ways to allow for inclusion.” Judge Diamond rejected the option of diverting transgender athletes to a third category, calling it “the very essence of separation and segregation and it is what the MHRA prohibits.”
