Males who identify as transgender will not be allowed to compete in women's sports in one college sports governing body starting next school year, affecting one school in Massachusetts: Fisher College in Boston.
The Council of Presidents of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics — known as the NAIA — voted 20-0 on Monday, April 8 to adopt a new transgender athlete policy. This comes two years after the NAIA developed a Transgender Task Force aimed at "creating fairness in competition, treating individuals with respect and dignity, and ensuring transparent efforts and encouraging member feedback," according to a press release the NAIA provided to NewBostonPost.
