A group of self-described "girl dads" fighting to ban trans children from playing on sports teams that align with their genders held a drive-through signing event in an attempt to obtain enough signatures for a ballot measure on the issue.
Maine Girl Dads is an anti-trans coalition of more than 8,000 dads (according to its website) who claim they want to "protect the dignity, opportunity, and privacy of our daughters" by discriminating against trans kids.
"Simply put, we want districts across Maine to re-institute sex-based policies in school & sport," their website states, proceeding to misgender trans people. "No more males in female spaces nor sports."
They claim their stance is "purely paternal, not remotely political, and based in common sense."
The group's Protect Girls Sports in Maine campaign is advocating for a ballot measure titled, "An Act to Designate School Sports Participation and Facilities by Sex." It would mandate that school sports teams, locker rooms, and bathrooms be designated as male, female, or co-ed, and require students to use facilities and join teams based on their sex assigned at birth.
Supporters claim that the initiative does not violate the Maine Human Rights Act because it would align state policy with the current presidential administration's interpretation of Title IX.
