The modified policy of the NCAA sex eligibility was examined by women’s rights activists on apparent gaps which, according to some, would continue to allow biological men to compete in female sports.
The NCAA modified its policy on February 7 to comply with the executive decree “No Men in Women’s Sports” by President Donald Trump, which was signed on February 6. The new policy, which has reversed a previous policy that has been in place since 2010 to allow trans athletes in female sports, now declares “a student-athlete assigned to birth can train in a female NCAA team and receive all The other advantages applicable to students-athletes “.
Politics said that “a student-athlete assigned to birth can train in a female NCAA team and receive all the other advantages applicable to students-athletes”.

Many criticisms have insisted that this policy does not go far enough or does not establish enough obstacles to protect female athletes in the ranks of the college. The most common criticism was that politics allegedly allowed Trans athletes to bypass the restriction by modifying sex on their birth certificate.
In the United States, 44 states authorize birth certificates to modify a person’s birthday. The only states that do not allow this are Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Montana. Meanwhile, 14 states make it possible to modify sexual relations on a birth certificate without any required medical documentation, notably California, New York, Massachusetts and Michigan.
“It does not offer any protection to women, does not respect the federal law and removes all the responsibility of the NCAA. It explicitly allows men in female teams and defines the levels of participation on the basis of the modifiable birth certificates”. Declared Kim Jones, co -founder of the Independent Council for Women said to PK Press Club Digital of the new NCAA policy.
“There is nothing in this policy by keeping men outside female sports. Go back and start again. Women need a policy that exclusively defines female sports for women and maintains screening with the responsibility of NCAA. “
The former American gymnast and founder of XX-LEAXTICS Jennifer Sey echoed the concerns about modifiable birth certificates.

“It does not make any clear border to maintain the integrity of female sports. All that is necessary to provide” evidence “of being a woman is a birth certificate which can be modified in 44 states. The policy is filled with ‘Displacement and does not comply with the decree or what is fair and fair.
The NCAA policy on its website has given no clarity on the changes in birth certificates. However, a spokesperson for the NCAA told PK Press Club Digital that the Director Body will not allow Trans athletes to participate in the female category according to the modified birth certificates.
“Policy is clear that there is no available derogation, and athletes assigned to birth may not compete in a female team with modified birth certificates or other forms of identity,” said The spokesperson.
Regarding the trans athletes who practiced in a female team, the NCAA considers players of male practice an “essential” of female sports.
“Players of male practice have been a basic food in university sports for decades, especially in women’s basketball and the association will continue to take this into politics,” said the spokesperson.
However, the advantages which are extended to the trans athletes which practiced in a female team do not include scholarships, a source told PK Press Club Digital.
These details are not currently described on the official NCAA policy page, as it does not make any specific reference to the birth certificate or identity changes, or to the women’s scholarships that go to Trans athletes.
The question of whether the NCAA makes an official update to respond to these criticisms has not yet been determined.
The previous policy that has enabled Trans athletes to compete and share the locker room with women for almost a decade and a half has caused several lawsuits and even federal surveys.
The former swimmer of women at the University of Kentucky and current conservative activist, Riley Gaines, is currently carrying out a trial against the NCAA on her previous policy on gender eligibility. This trial cites the experience of sound and other people in competition with the transgender swimmer of the University of Pennsylvania Lia Thomas in 2022.
Three of the former teammates of Thomas Upenn put their own legal action against the NCAA, the Ivy League, Upenn and Harvard to share a team and locker room with Thomas during the 2021-222 season.
Former volleyball player at San Jose State University, Brooke Slusser, is currently directing a lawsuit against her school and the Mountain West conference about her management of the Blaire Fleming athlete.
Upenn and the state of San Jose are under investigation by the United States Ministry of Education for the potential violations of the title IX which occurred under the treatment of the institutions of Thomas and Fleming.
