Felix Myers, student adviser-elect to the Alaska state school board, urges board members on Thursday, June 8, 2023, in Soldotna, to reject a regulation that would prohibit transgender girls from participating in girls high school sports.
Other members of the board rejected that idea, saying they are worried about competitiveness in high school sports and believe transgender girls have an advantage. Cothron, the board’s student member, appeared reluctant to vote in favor of the proposal but ultimately did. Alaskans who testified by phone had mixed views of the proposal, but those who spoke in person at the school board’s meeting in Soldotna were uniformly in favor.
