TX Joins Other States in Ruling for Transgender Athletes

Texas district superintendents voted (586-32) to require student-athletes to provide a birth certificate to determine gender identification.  The University Interscholastic League (UIL) will implement the new rule starting on August 1st.

Steve McConkey applauds Texas for taking this stand.  McConkey of 4 Winds Christian Athletics, a ministry located in Madison next to the University of Wisconsin football stadium, took on the International Olympic Committee in 2003 for allowing transgenders in the Olympics.  At the time, he was the only person publicly doing this.  Also, Steve recently opposed the homosexual agenda that the International Olympic Committee, the U.S. Olympic Committee and the NCAA has promoted.  “Common sense is thrown out the window in our politically correct culture,” states McConkey.  “A 6-foot/10-inch male basketball player who decides to play as a female has skeletal and muscular advantages that would take years to reverse by hormones.  The PC advocates avoid this subject or give faulty research trying to prove their point.”

TransAthlete.com lists 7-states that require high school athletes to provide birth certificates, gender reassignment surgery documentations, or proof of hormone therapies (Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, New Mexico and South Carolina).  15-other states allow athletes to compete based on gender identity (including: Minnesota, California, and Washington, D.C.).  The site says 14-additional states need modification of their policies and 14-states have no policy.

Given the national and international athletic competitions, this will eventually become a federal decision.

This is the agenda of the LGTB advocates.  It’s not about ‘equal rights’ – it’s all about imposing their definition of tolerance … which is intolerant of religions whose sacred text speaks clearly against their lifestyle.

4 Winds encourages Christian athletes to be involved in good churches that preach the truth, and to be involved in high school groups that do the same.

Amen to that!  Amen!
