Girls in Boise, Idaho, are fed up with having to compete in sports with boys pretending to be girls.

The Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) is working to help ensure fairness for girls there who compete in interscholastic sports.

Ray Hacke, one of PJI’s Pacific Northwest-based staff attorneys, testified before the Idaho House of Representatives for a bill that would prohibit biological males from competing as “girls” in interscholastic sports. Hacke is the author of an article titled, “Girls Will Be Boys, and Boys Will Be Girls”: The Emergence of the Transgender Athlete and a Defensive Game Plan For High Schools That Want to Keep Their Playing Fields Level – For Athletes of Both Genders.

Hacke’s article explains how the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause and Title IX, the federal law aimed at providing equal educational opportunities for girls, all but mandate that schools keep separate teams for boys and girls so girls get a fair opportunity to compete.

  “A boy who says he’s a girl is quite different from an actual girl. And multiple courts have held that because girls are typically at a physiological disadvantage when competing against boys, letting boys play on girls’ teams would relegate girls to being benchwarmers or spectators in their own sports,” Hacke said.

Lawmakers in Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and Washington have introduced bills seeking to ensure that women and girls competing in interscholastic athletics do not have to compete against biological males who identify as “transgender.”

“Bills like the one in Idaho have nothing to do with prejudice toward transgender people,” PJI President Brad Dacus said. “They have to do with fundamental fairness – and in some cases, safety – in girls’ sports.”

Fairness, decency and common sense need to override the Homosexual Agenda for girl athletes.
