The largest community school board district in Manhattan approved a resolution in March recommending that the New York City Department of Education permit a public review of its policy allowing cross-dressing boys to participate in girls' sports.
Over a dozen affluent Democratic officials joined in on the attacks this week, suggesting that Community Education Council District 2's Resolution 248 was rooted in "Bigotry and hate." Be it resolved The resolution notes at the outset that in 2019, the NYC DOE released its "'Guidelines on Gender' which changed several school policies, most significantly replacing the category of biological sex with gender identity in all areas including Public School Athletic League sports teams and participation.
"The publicly available information on the process of developing the 2019 Gender guidelines does not indicate that female athletes, coaches, or sports medicine doctors or evolutionary biology experts were ever consulted or considered despite the long history of female athletes fighting for equitable and meaningful access to sports participation," said the resolution.
"The Guidelines were developed by the City's first LGBTQ Liaison and stakeholders who were already supportive of replacing sex with gender identity." According to the resolution, the gender ideologues who crafted the guidelines also did not bother considering the "Well-documented importance of sports participation in academic success, mental health, physical health, or socio-emotional well being of girls." The resolution did not go so far as to recommend a reversal of the policy.
NYC Council member Erik Bottcher said, "We are outraged that you're considering a resolution targeting transgender girls and sports. It is utterly shocking that such a regressive and harmful resolution is being proposed in the school district in the middle of Manhattan." Alaina Daniels, a transvestite activist who runs an after-school program in the area, suggested the proposal amounted to a threat to "Trans existence." "We're under attack in this very room," he said.
State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal said in a statement, "It is utterly shocking that such a regressive and harmful resolution is being proposed in a school district that covers much of Manhattan." "Resolution #248 is based on the false premise that the gender identity policy negatively impacts female athletes, and stems from the misguided notion that the inclusion of transgender students in sports diminishes the experience of other student athletes," said Hoylman-Sigal.
Maud Maron, a Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2022 and who cosponsored the resolution, countered the radicals' claims, suggesting there was nothing "Transphobic" about the resolution.
