City Board of Ed passes policy regarding transgender athletes

MIDDLETOWN — The Board of Education recently passed a policy that addresses transgender athletes' participation in school sports.

The policy, taken from Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference rules, states that a student-athlete will compete in the sex of his or her birth certificate unless he or she has undergone sex reassignment.

A student-athlete who has undergone sex reassignment may only compete if the reassignment was completed before puberty or, if reassignment was completed after puberty, surgical anatomical changes have been complete, Governmental agencies such as the Department of Motor Vehicles recognize the change and hormonal therapy has been administered to minimize gender-related sports advantages, according to the policy.
