PK Press Club Digital has contacted Sherrill’s campaign on several occasions for clarifications on his position on the issue of Trans athletes in female sports, but has not received an answer.
Sherrill has been criticized on social networks for his Congress voting file on the issue. She voted against the protection of women and girls in sports Act, twice, when the bill was proposed for the first time in 2023, and again last February when it was reintroduced.
Sherrill has also co -pacarraine the equality law, but has also co -pacarraine the charter of transgender rights, which “more explicitly guarantees certain rights for transgender and non -binary persons with regard to public services and housing”.
Sherrill is an “self -proclaimed defender for female athletics”. She previously proposed the NCAA Women’s Sports Act to the House of Representatives of the United States alongside the representative Maria Salazar D-Fla., And led a resolution to honor Billie Jean King with the Congress gold medal.
However, it has recently been criticized on social networks for its Congress voting record on the issue of Trans athletes in female sports.
The former female swimmer of the University of Pennsylvania and female sports activist, Paula Scanlan, Upenn’s first swimmer to talk about the controversy of the Thomas school of the school in 2022, called Sherrill on X on the question this week.
The New Jersey Gop attacked Sherrill for this record directly in a campaign graph last week.
Sherrill’s opponent, Republican Jack Ciattarelli, said this question for Sherrill in a post in July.
New Jersey is the original state of origin of the well -known transgender athlete, Sadie Schreiner, who previously competed for the Rochester Institute for Technology and has become viral on several occasions to publish videos sharing the first -hand experience of the athlete as an organic male trans who rivals women and often overlooking women. Schreiner is from Hillsborough, according to the athlete’s Rit Athletics page.
Schreiner filed a complaint against Princeton University for an alleged incident during an May 3 women’s race. The Schreiner trial said that the athlete had attempted to participate in the 200 -meter female sprint in the Larry Ellis Invitational as one of the 141 participants without attachments to a university or club. The trial alleys that officials told Schreiner that the athlete could not participate 15 minutes before the start of the race.
Schreiner allegedly alleged that the University had violated the law of New Jersey against discrimination, which designates “gender identity or expression” as protected status.
Schreiner has since brought a second complaint against Suny Genesco for having been banned from a female race in March, according to several reports.
Within the transgender crisis of Gavin Newsom
Back in January, a New York Times / Ipsos survey Found that the vast majority of Americans, including the majority of Democrats, do not think that transgender athletes should be allowed to participate in female sports. Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said that biological men who identify themselves as women should not be allowed to participate in female sports.
Of the 1,025 people who have identified as a democrats or who lean a democrat, 67% said that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women. Among 1,022 Republicans, this number was 94%.
The 81 independents who were interviewed represented the group with the most reluctance to say that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete. Only 64% said they were against, while 26% refused to respond. Only 3% of Democrats and 1% of Republicans refused to respond.
According to a Gallup poll Last year.
Additional data suggests that the problem had an impact on the 2024 election.
A National exit survey Directed by the Legislative Action Committee for women concerned for women for America (CWA) revealed that 70% of moderate voters saw the question of “Donald Trump’s opposition to boys and transgender men playing sports of girls and women and transgender boys and men using bathrooms for girls and women” as important for them. And 6% said it was the most important question of all, while 44% said it was “very important”.
Meanwhile, eminent democratic personalities fell on the support of their party to men in female sports, notably Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom and even Kamala Harris.
In her recent book “107 Days”, Harris wrote that she “agreed” with the concerns of parents and athletes who oppose the leash Men compete with women.
“I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we must take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and the advantage of unfair student sport when we determine who plays on teams, especially in contact sports,” Harris wrote.
