from The National Pulse:
High school students across New York are organizing a statewide walkout on October 24 to protest the inclusion of transgender athletes in girls’ sports. The Coalition to Protect Kids is spearheading the ‘Walk Off for Fairness Day’ event. The Catholic Church and conservative groups have also announced their support for it.
The demonstration comes amid debate over Proposition 1 on the November ballot. This measure, known as the Equal Rights Amendment, would codify abortion into the New York State Constitution but also includes language that could allow male-born athletes identifying as females to participate in girls’ and women’s sports, disadvantaging female athletes.

Ayesha Kreutz, spokeswoman for The Coalition to Protect Kids, emphasizes that ‘Walk Off for Fairness Day’ offers a platform for young women to voice their concerns. According to Kreutz, many female athletes feel pressured to remain silent on the issue.
New York Republican Party chairman Ed Cox states that Prop 1 would undermine Title IX protections. He notes it could potentially impact scholarships and opportunities for female athletes.
The walkout comes just months after a judge in Virginia ruled that a transgender male could join the girls’ tennis team at a school in the state after a local school district attempted to prevent them.
Biologically male athletes have routinely demonstrated advantages when playing against females, including at this year’s Summer Olympics, when the women’s 145-pound boxing gold medal was won by a person who previously failed gender tests.
