NIAA to Pave Road for Transgender High School Athletes
Catherine Van, Oct 08, 2013, 8:22 AM

Should transgender high school athletes be allowed to decide for themselves whether to play on the boys' team or girls' team? The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association is considering granting transgender students the allowance to choose.

High school sports can be gender-exclusive, but for those athletes who identify with the opposite sex, those eligibility lines can be blurry. More than half a dozen states, including Washington and California, have adopted the policies to allow transgender students to compete on teams of their choosing and Nevada could be next.
