The fight to protect women’s sports has taken a significant turn in Virginia! The Family Foundation recently released a must-watch YouTube video covering breaking news that the Virginia High School League (VHSL) has finally agreed to comply with President Trump’s executive order barring biological males from competing in female sports. This is a victory worth celebrating, and we must remain vigilant in ensuring these policies remain in place.
A Victory for Common Sense
For weeks, VHSL appeared to drag its feet, looking for loopholes and excuses to avoid enforcing the order. However, pressure from school boards, advocacy groups, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin forced the league to comply. In a powerful statement, Governor Youngkin reminded the VHSL that schools risk losing millions of dollars in federal funding if they refuse to abide by the law. This firm stance helped bring about a long-overdue decision to safeguard the integrity of girls’ sports.
Why This Matters
For years, parents and student-athletes have voiced concerns over the unfair advantage biological males have when competing in female sports. Despite overwhelming public support for protecting women’s athletic opportunities, radical activists have pushed policies that put girls at risk—both in competition and in private spaces like locker rooms. This latest development is a step toward restoring fairness and protecting the rights of female athletes across Virginia.
The Role of Grassroots Advocacy
This victory wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of concerned parents and advocacy groups like Speak Up Virginia. Across the state, families have spoken out at school board meetings, engaged lawmakers, and pushed for change. The pressure worked, but the battle isn’t over yet. Without a state law permanently securing these protections, future administrations could reverse course with a single executive order. We must continue advocating for legislation that upholds fairness in sports.
