All girls and women should have the right to unlock their potential through the power of sport. This includes trans girls, who deserve a safe place to compete alongside their fellow girls and women.
Athlete Ally responded to today's OCR ruling on CT trans athletes: "Especially now during this global pandemic, sport has the power to uplift & bring us together. To exclude trans women is not only a violation of their rights, but also of their humanity.”
