Summary
A new Concerned Women of America report says transgender athletes displaced biological women from 2,293 championship spots since the mid-1980s, framing the tally as lost titles rather than simple participation.
The group says the estimate draws on HeCheated.org’s database of reported cases and counts more than 14,000 girls’ and women’s sporting events across high school, college, amateur and professional competition.
South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham used the findings at a Capitol Hill news conference to argue that allowing biological males in women’s sports creates both fairness and safety risks, citing a severe injury case in North Carolina.
The report ties the issue to rising transgender identification among youth, citing CDC and other estimates that roughly 3% to 3.6% of U.S. teens identify as transgender, with some college estimates running as high as 6.7%.
It argues the trend will continue unless laws tighten eligibility rules, even as the NCAA requires athletes to compete by sex assigned at birth and some professional leagues still lack clear restrictions.
