It is a true honor to work with her, and the indomitable writing team of T and Allison Cooper, to bring her experiences more to light and to share her with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As reported by THR, Fox first entered MMA without revealing the true nature of their biological identity until openly declaring themselves transgender in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a great time so far working with the producers and writers bringing this story to life, and I hope this film sheds some light on the topic of trans athletes in sports. This story needs to be told now more than ever,\u201d Fox said of the film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs transgender\/LGBTQIA writers and creators, we know in our bones the inherent value in and necessity of telling stories from the inside out, rather than from the outside looking in. We\u2019re thrilled to be teaming with Mark Gordon Pictures to help bring Fallon\u2019s undeniably powerful and relevant story to the screen,\u201d T Cooper and Allison Glock-Cooper said in another statement.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement last week, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced its unequivocal support for the transgender community and expressed no misgivings about the prospect of biological men outcompeting women in their given sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports. This commitment is grounded in our values of inclusion and fair competition,\u201d the NCAA said.<\/p>\n<p>The NCAA then touted the (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/nbc-out\/trans-women-retain-athletic-edge-after-year-hormone-therapy-study-n1252764\">highly questionable<\/a>) concept of testosterone suppression as a valid equalizer for men competing in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NCAA has a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Transgender_Handbook_2011_Final.pdf\">long-standing policy<\/a>\u00a0that provides a more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports,\u201d the NCAA said. \u201cOur approach \u2014 which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women\u2019s sports \u2014 embraces the evolving science on this issue and is anchored in participation policies of both the International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport. Our clear expectation as the Association\u2019s top governing body is that all student-athletes will be treated with dignity and respect. We are committed to ensuring that NCAA championships are open for all who earn the right to compete in them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/changing-the-game-hulu-to-stream-trans-teen-sports-documentary\">\u00a0\u2018Changing The Game\u2019: Hulu To Stream Trans Teen Sports\u00a0Documentary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
