He suggests having an open class in every sport so that transgender athletes can compete without giving them an unfair advantage.<\/p>\n<p>As the debate over transgender athletes in sports continues, it remains to be seen whether there will be any changes to current policies.<\/p>\n<h2>Transgender Runners Fail to Appear at High School Race<\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/riley-gaines-speaks-out-after-two-trans-runners-fail-to-appear-at-california-high-school-race\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, a recent high school track and field meet in California was disrupted by protesters who were unhappy with the participation of two transgender runners in the girls&#8217; division.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Both boys (Athena Ryan and Lorelei Barrett) who qualified for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-international-sport-bans-biologically-male-trans-athletes-from-competing-against-women\/\" title=\"Another International Sport Bans Biologically Male Trans Athletes From Competing Against Women\">girls high school track<\/a> and field state championship in California didn\u2019t not compete in prelims today.<\/p>\n<p>Did they realize they clearly possess an unfair advantage?
