MET WITH CRITICISM FROM
DEMOCRATS AND TRANSGENDER
APPLICANTS ALIKE.

SIDE IT IS ABOUT FAIRNESS AND
ON THE OTHER THEY CALL IT
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A SMALL GROUP OF ATHLETES WHO WANT THAT

MATTERS MOST FOLKS GRINSTEAD SAID YOU CAN BE A SUPPORTER OF
SAID YOU CAN BE A SUPPORTER OF
TRANSGENDER RIGHTS BUT BE
AGAINST BOYS WHO IDENTIFY AS
BOYS COMPETING AGAINST
